SSS Let's Chill Blog Hop Day 2 + GIVEAWAY

Saturday, June 18, 2022 | By: Lea Lawson

Share

Happy Saturday, crafty friends! Welcome to day 2 of the Let's Chill release blog hop, which is full of amazing new products! There is a FREE Doodlebug Chasing Rainbows sprinkles pack available with any purchase while supplies last, just be sure to use the code PRISM. This promotion will expire 06/19 at 11:59 pm ET.

I will put all of the blog hop details at the end of my post, but how about we get to my cards first? I did some rainbow ink blending with one of the newest cling stamps!

Citrus Rainbow Birthday cards

Card Sizes: A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches)

FEATURED PRODUCTS

  • Fresh Fruit cling stamp
  • Basic Box Happy Birthday die
  • All Things Happy Remix sentiment strip cards
  • Crystals Mix

CLICK HERE for a complete supply list.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut white cardstock & red cardstock to 4 ¼ x 11 inches and score at 5 ½ inches to create top folding A2 size card bases.
2. Stamp and heat emboss the Fresh Fruit cling stamp in white to white cardstock.
3. Ink blend the panel in rainbow colors, then cover in glitter.
4. Ink blend another cardstock panel into a rainbow gradient, then heat emboss the Fresh Fruit image to the top.
5. Cut each panel with the largest A2 sized Stitched Rectangle.
6. Diecut the largest Stitched Scallop Rectangle from gold pearl paper.
7. Diecut the sentiment from gold pearl paper and white cardstock. Stack & adhere.
8. Assemble the cards as shown, popping some of the elements up with foam tape.
9. Accent with crystals to finish.

TIP: When I first stamped & heat embossed, and then ink blended over top...I didn't love how the color transferred a bit to embossing. I'm not one to waste work that I've done, so I covered that panel in glitter and it looked so much better!

There will also be more images of this card on my Instagram post, as I have an image limit on my website...and I'm trying to stretch it as far as I can before I have to purchase additional storage. Lol! Thanks for heading to my feed to see more, and allowing me to be a tad frugal.
