Bold and Bright Friendship Card

Hi friends, happy Friday! Hopefully you’ve had a great week! Are you a fan of bold colors? Raise hand… I sure am! Leslie here with you today, sharing a tutorial for making a bold and bright friendship card. I used Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Bazzill Basics Peach, Lessebo Sunset Orange, Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink, and Pink Tutu cardstock. Add a 110# Solar White card base and two 80# Solar White panels, and you have the perfect card. I wanted to use some pretty puffy floral stickers in my stash, and these colors matched perfectly. So let me show you how I made this card!

Card Base & Layers

Firstly, grab a Classic Crest 110# Solar White card base. These are pre-scored and a huge timesaver. I have both the 110# and 80# weights in my stash and use them frequently.

Secondly, cut 1/4″, 1/2″ and 3/4″ strips from each of the following colors:
Pop Tone Tangy Orange
Bazzill Basics Peach
Lessebo Sunset Orange and Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink
Pink Tutu

Additionally, cut an inside layering panel at 4″ x 5-1/4″ from the Pop Tone Tangy Orange.

Thirdly, cut two layering panels from Classic Crest 80# Solar White. One at 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ for the front, and one at 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ for the inside.

Create Striped Panels for Bold and Bright Friendship Card

Apply a strong adhesive (or adhesive sheet) to the face of the larger white front panel. Randomly place the colored strips in diagonal fashion covering the entire panel, and trim the edges. Likewise, use several leftover pieces and randomly place those diagonally across the top of the smaller white inside panel. Trim the edges of that panel as well. Afterwards, place gold pinstripe stickers near the top of the wider strips on both panels and trim the edges.

Add Florals

Add the puffy floral stickers to the panels.

Stamp Sentiments

Using a typography type stamp set, stamp sentiments on both panels in dark blue ink.

Complete Bold and Bright Friendship Card

Adhere both panels to the card base. The final step is to affix a few sequins to the card front.

Summing up, these are the other products I used:
STAMPS: Hero Florals Rose Stem stamp set
INK: Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink
ACCESSORIES: Fiskars 12″ ProCision Rotary Bypass Paper Trimmer, Spellbinders 12×12 Scoring Board, Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z Runner Ultra, My Sweet Petunia Precision Glue Press, Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue, Mini MISTI, Love From Lizi Gold Moondust Pinstripe Peel-Off Stickers and A Spot of Autumn Thicker Stickers, Blush sequins (from stash), Trinity Pick Up Stick

To conclude, I hope you’ve enjoyed this bold and bright friendship card! It’s an easy customizable card that would be great to mass produce to have multiples in your stash.
