A Clean and Simple (CAS) Mirror Floral Thank You Card!

A Clean and Simple (CAS) Mirror Floral Thank You Card!

Hello everyone! We hope you are enjoying 2026! We are so glad you stopped by! If you like our blog & posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow!

Let the crafting continue.... This card was inspired by a technique I wanted to try, Mirroring. I combined that with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Clean and Simple (CAS) and Pearly Sparkles Challenge - mixed color florals. I loved how it turned out, so of course, I made a another card using a different stamp set. I just need to color it and I will post it on our blog. I loved how simple it looks and yet the flowers really pop with such a fun mirror design! Hope you like it too and if you haven't tried mirroring, I hope you will give it a try or another fun technique you have been wanting to try but just haven't yet. 

Here is the card:

Products I used:

  • Simon Says Stamp Swoop Flower Stamp Set
  • Simon Say Stamp Black Ink Stamp Pad
  • Various colored cardstock from personal crafting stash
  • Various colored pencils and fine-line markers
  • Special tool used: Altenew Stamp Wheel

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of this card:






......and that's it! 

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something and try something new!
