There is a FREE Birthday Cupcake stamp set available with any purchase while supplies last, just be sure to use the code YUM20. This promotion will expire 02/20 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've created a fun rainbow themed Thank You card!
Thank You rainbow card
Card size: A2 - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (inches)
I started by heat embossing the Shamrock Background stamp in Gilded to a panel of Hammermill white cardstock. I'm not one to really make a card for St. Patrick's Day, but I think this background stamp makes a beautiful background for any occasion, but especially a rainbow thank you! It looks like it sold out very quickly, so your best bet is to sign up for a restock notification if you are interested in getting it. :)
Once heat set, I trimmed the stamped panel down to 4" x 5.25". I diecut 1/4" strips from cardstock in all the colors of the rainbow using the Slim Stripes die set. I adhered them to a scrap of white cardstock, then trimmed two 1" blocks from it. I adhered them to the opposite corners of an A2 sized white cardstock block, then diecut the largest Stitched Scallop Rectangle from it. I used 1/8" Scor-Tape on the back of the frames to help keep them adhered together.
Next I diecut the Swoopy Thank You three times: once from gold pearl paper, and twice from white cardstock. I diecut the shadow layer from the rainbow striped block that I created above, then stacked and adhered them all together. I stamped the secondary sentiment from the Sassy Insides set in onyx black ink to a scrap of white cardstock, then cut it into a banner. (I have to apologize - I don't know where the banner die is from. I have a bunch of them on a couple pieces of magnet, and I never remembered to label them.)
I assembled the card as shown, popping up many of the elements with foam adhesive. I finished by accenting with rows of Rainbow Sparkle jewels at the top and the bottom of the inner scallop frame.
