Sending Warm Wishes: Square Summer Card with the Notes and Totes Bundle

Today’s card is bringing a fun twist—literally! I stepped outside the usual A2 size and created a 4-1/4″ square card packed with sunshine and beachy charm. Using the Notes and Totes bundle from Stampin’ Up!, I paired soft tropical details with a cool blue color palette to send some warm wishes in style.

I started with a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square card base in Basic White, then layered on a Misty Moonlight panel featuring swirly wave textures from the new Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Paper.

The little beachy elements steal the show here:

• A water bottle in Cloud Cover with Night of Navy stamping
• A tube of sunscreen in Petal Pink with Flirty Flamingo details
• A shell and starfish cut from Basic Beige cardstock
• And of course… the classic black heart sunglasses for a bit of flair!

To ground everything, I added a white sentiment strip stamped with “sending warm wishes” in Night of Navy ink. I finished the card with a few adhesive-backed pearls for shine.

When making square cards, you can use a standard envelope, or create your own! How fun would this card be if it were paired with a coordinating DSP envelope?
