This card is right up my alley – because it’s definitely got the “wow” factor and it’s really easy to make! This sparkly ombre card shows off a few Stampin’ Up! products that are guaranteed to make your projects stand out.
There’s a few stars on this card – the first being the Rainbow Glimmer Paper. It’s got a gradient of colour and stay put glitter so it makes it easy to make impressive paper crafting projects. For this easy but impressive card, I teamed it with some Bermuda Bay cardstock that was die cut with the large die from the Potted Succulents dies (this is the second star if you’re keeping track). I will freely admit that I bought the Simply Succulents Bundle (includes the dies and the coordinating Simply Succulents stamp set) on the basis of this die alone.
Seriously. I loved this die on first sight, and I often have ‘incompleteness’ issues if I buy one item without the coordinating other item….so the bundle. Even though I don’t have a green thumb and I can just barely keep succulents alive. BUT LOOK AT THIS DIE! It cuts the detailed centre portion and leaves the edges intact, so you could use this on the front of a card without an extra layer on top. Love it.
To complete the sparkly ombre card, I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels – I used the Coastal Cabana ones as the light blue shade complimented the colours from the portion of Rainbow Glimmer Paper used. We are going to be doing this card in February’s Stampers Club (though I think we may end up using Basic Rhinestones because I have more of those LOL).
