I just can’t stop making cards! This is for our niece (17) Kate who has a retreat coming up that welcomes sending her notes of encouragement.
I’m kind of obsessed with shaker cards lately and also glow in the dark stuff, so I kind of couldn’t help but pick up the GITD stars and then the rainbows at 50% off. There are also some large glitter and tiny silver beads in there.
The front is a night sky and the paper behind the letters blue sky with white clouds. I used Tim Holtz “Bulletin” letter dies which cuts the “holes” and the boarders. Other than the stars and rainbows, the rest is stash.
I have some GITD embossing powder, so I used it with this wee stamp to make up some wee tags. I attached on to the inside of this card with a goldtone brad that ties in with the outlines of the letters on the front. The brad is brighter than it appears in these pics.
And a little “made with LOVE” on the back where the company info would be on a store bought card.
I love the gold edging on the letters! The rainbows definitely add a fun pop of brightness to what is already a fun card that I’m sure will be well received. Who doesn’t love getting fun stuff in the mail!? (If you ever feel the need to make a card, but don’t have any recipients to send to, just message me and I’ll happily send you my address .)
I almost went with silver or some kind of rainbow glitter paper and I am so glad that I chose gold. A little more “adult” and also, gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow works with the scatter bits!
This card is so great! I also am a big fan of rainbows and GITD stuff so it’s right up my alley. I love that the card can become a little work of art after she receives it.
So much wow! glow in the dark, and rainbows, and gold framed letters, and constellations.
I bet half the people in the retreat might suddenly decide their name is Kate
