Happy Saturday, crafty friends! Today I’m participating in a Simon Says Stamp May release blog hop day 1, featuring the Dear Friend release! You can win a $25 SSS gift card at every single stop on the hop, so you will definitely want to check it out. I will have all the blog hop info at the end of the post.
I've created a pastel themed rainbow card today, with a little bit of glitter and a warm, glittery sentiment!
Hello card
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)
FEATURED PRODUCTS - complete supply list. (The Simon Says Stamp feed with Link Deli is pulling secondary photos, rather than the main image of each listing. Most of the products have a card sample as the image on my link list - I'm sorry if it's confusing!)
- Stamp the Painted Rainbow to white cardstock in a pastel rainbow gradient.
- Diecut the panel with the largest Blanket Stitched Rectangle die.
- Add glue to three of the rainbow stripes using a Zig glue pen, then cover in glitter.
- Diecut the Fancy Hello word once from ivory glitter cardstock, and twice from white cardstock.
- Diecut the Fancy Hello shadow layer from vellum, then stack & adhere the entire sentiment together.
- Trim a thin secondary sentiment from the Bold Hello sentiment strips.
- Mount to the front of a white A2 sized card base.
- Accent with clear iridescent drops to finish.
TIP: The design on this cling stamp pulls apart, so I started by adhering the entire stamp to my stamping platform window. Then I removed all layers except the first one, and proceeded to stamp one layer at a time...using the previous layer as a guide for placing the next one. It sounds harder than it is - it is actually very easy!
As I mentioned, this is part of a blog hop and here is the list:
