Create Cheerful Handmade Thank You Cards with Beautiful Ordinary DSP

There’s something special about sending a handmade thank you card, and these bright and cheerful designs are perfect for showing your appreciation in style. Featuring the gorgeous Beautiful Ordinary Designer Series Paper, layered blooms from the Scalloped Blooms Dies, and sentiments from the Greetings For All Ephemera Pack, these cards are full of colour, texture, and charm.

The combination of bold patterns, layered flowers, and simple sentiments creates eye-catching cards that look impressive but are surprisingly easy to make.

A Colourful Combination of Pattern and Layers

One of my favourite things about these cards is how the patterned paper does much of the hard work. The Beautiful Ordinary DSP features fresh, vibrant designs that instantly brighten any project.

For both cards, I used pieces of DSP to create decorative tags that become the focal point of the design. This is a great way to make the most of your patterned papers while adding an extra layer of interest without needing lots of additional supplies.

The layered flowers were created using the Scalloped Blooms Dies, giving each card a lovely dimensional element. A few sparkly embellishments add the perfect finishing touch.

Pretty Peacock and Petal Pink

The first card features a rich Pretty Peacock card base paired with layered blooms in Pool Party and Petal Pink.

The soft floral colours contrast beautifully against the deeper card base, creating a fresh and elegant look. Combined with the striped Beautiful Ordinary DSP, the result is a card that feels both modern and cheerful.

The simple “Thanks” sentiment from the Greetings For All Ephemera Pack keeps the design clean and allows the colours and layers to take centre stage.

Melon Mambo and Petal Pink

For the second card, I chose a vibrant Melon Mambo card base and layered the flowers using Melon Mambo and Petal Pink cardstock.

This version has a completely different feel despite using the same layout. The bright pink tones bring lots of energy to the design, while the Petal Pink softens the overall look and adds balance.

The honeycomb-inspired pattern from the Beautiful Ordinary DSP works perfectly with the bold floral layers, creating a fun and uplifting thank you card that would brighten anyone’s day.

Why I Love This Design

These cards are a great reminder that you don’t need complicated techniques to create something beautiful. By combining:

• Patterned paper
• Layered die-cut flowers
• Simple sentiments
• A few embellishments

You can quickly create cards that look polished and professional.

This design is also wonderfully versatile. Simply change the colours, DSP patterns, or sentiment and you can easily adapt it for birthdays, celebrations, thinking of you cards, or just because.

Perfect for Using Your DSP Collection

If you’re anything like me, you probably have lots of beautiful patterned paper that you’re saving for the perfect project. This card layout is an excellent way to showcase those gorgeous designs while still incorporating die-cut details and embellishments.

The tag element provides a lovely area to display your sentiment, and because it’s made from DSP, every card can look completely different depending on the pattern you choose.
