For today’s blog hop, I created a quick and simple card featuring some products from the March 2025 Release collection.

As a background, I used a square panel of Crafty Necessities: Nimbus Cardstock, embossed with the Royal Brocade 3D Embossing Folder. I added Dark Night Fresh Dye Ink to the inside of the embossing folder before running it through the die-cutting machine for a letterpress effect.

As a focal point I used a small part of blossom branch created with Craft-A-Flower: Cherry Blossom Branch Layering Die Set and Olive Fresh Dye Ink. To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Thinking of You Stamp Set, stamped in black ink.
