A Sparkly Rainbow Birthday Card

I recently won a challenge in a Facebook group for one of my cards and I was thrilled with my prize that I received. In it was this gorgeous stencil with no branding on it but I loved it. I am relatively new to stenciling and ink blending so I had another go at a rainbow design but this time I added some sparkle to the ink blending with some Nuvo glitter paste – Moonstone. I was thrilled with the result and I will definitely do this again. I have kept my card very simple so as not to distract from the pretty sparkly pattern and just added a simple white border from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles and a white flower die that I embossed from Spellbinders that I have had for quite a while. A simple hot foiled ‘Hello’ from Pink Fresh Studio and a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ from Honey Bee Stamps finished off this card. I was inspired for my card from a card on Instagram – however that card featured a plain dramatic ink blended background and white accents. I am in my happy space with pastels and sparkles.

Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses Pocket Card

Today I am sharing a card that has a pocket inside that is just right for a gift voucher to give to someone special to say thank you. This card design could also be used for birthday and Christmas as well and is very easy to make. I was inspired for this card by a card that Pink Fresh Studio Influencer Yasmin Diaz created on Instagram. I have switched it up and turned it around and made the pocket for the gift voucher rather than for another smaller card like Yasmin has done.

My project

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card that is side folding. I have created three layers of lacey edges for the front using the lacey edge die from the Lacey Edges 1 die on the front of the card. I then added a panel in the front of the card and embossed it with the Stained Glass Die for more texture. For the inside of the card. I have cut a piece of white cardstock 5 3/8″ x 4 5/8″, scored at 2 1/2″ aong the long side and folded it to create a pocket. I have glued down the edges and then adhered the pocket to the inside of the card. I then added an embossed panel 2 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ to the front of the pocket.

I stamped the image from the Garden Rose Stamp in Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I coloured the images with pink and green inks using the coordinating stencils and then die cut with the matching die. I also cut another plain die to adhere the coloured image on top. I trimmed the roses to fit the front and inside back of the card as shown.

I hot foiled the sentiments from the Perfect Sentiment Hot Foil plate and die cut them out with the coordinating die. I also die cut another plain die to add the foiled sentiment on top. I then adhered the ‘Just a note’ sentiment to the top left of the card and the ‘thank you’ sentiment to the bottom right of the inside back.

To finish I have added some gold pearls around the sentiments.
