rainbow birthday cards + ppp blog hop day 1

Pretty Pink Posh is celebrating their 10th birthday with an adorable collection of new stamps, dies, stencils & more! And we are having an amazing 5 day blog hop that's just bursting with cardmaking ideas and inspiration!!!

Before I show you what I made, there's more fun! There are five $30 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of February 16th, 2024. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

And one more thing...Pretty Pink Posh has a gift for YOU!

Now let me show you some of the rainbow birthday cards I've created...

When I see a cover plate die, I have to turn it into a shaker card! I think it's a rule, LOL! And this Star Cover Plate was no exception!


For this card I ink blended my favorite rainbow of Distress Oxide inks (Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina & Twisted Citron) on the front of my folded card. I spread some Glossy Accents over the ink and sprinkled on some chunky glitter. After it was dry, I used foam tape to build a shaker container on top. I filled it with Iridescent Circle Confetti, sealed it with acetate and topped it with a panel cut with the 
Star Cover Plate. Simple but bright & happy!


Next I made a easy one layer card with ink blending and stenciling...


I used low-tack tape to mask a section on my card front. Then I blended a rainbow with Distress Oxide inks. I placed the Birthday Words Stencil over the top and applied the same colors in the same places. Then I removed the tape and added a little sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday set and some faux splatter (done with a pen).

If you started at the beginning then I am your last stop on the hop but here's the whole hop list in case you missed anyone...


Thanks so much for hopping with us! Hugs!!!
Carly

Dear Carly - Both cards are beauties! I love the shaker but the second one has CAS appeal. I was not able to get the cover plate you used for card #1.... I placed an order but with new windows (7) coming in the next month, I have trimmed my budget a bit. Love what you have shared and thank you for inspiring viewers!

These are such lovely cards and the backgrounds look amazing! Blog hops like these introduce me to those who make cards whom I've never come across before and having only been making cards for about 9 months, I have plenty more to "meet"!
