Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
When I saw the colors – I thought right off of the Easter Joy Specialty DSP and pulled it out. And then I realized that it was sort of a perfect color combo for…the new A Rainbow of Thanks stamp set (coming on 3 March in the new Online Exclusives)! So – I pulled them out – and popped them onto my fave fun fold for a quick and pretty thank you card. Take a look-see:
And – can you guess our colors!?
I did a quick video on how to make this card – which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock that I scored at at 5 1/2” and 6 3/4” on the long side. Then I folded the 5 1/2” score line as a “mountain” – so….you know, ”regular”! – and at the 6 3/4” score in the opposite direction. Topographically speaking, that would be a “valley” fold!
Using Liquid Glue between the 5 1/2” and 6 3/4” score lines, I adhered the front of the card base to the back – just in that 1 1/4” area. This made the “book” or “side” fold. Which – I actually put on TOP for this version!
I matted a 1″ x 4″ piece of Easter Joy Specialty DSP on a Crumb Cake strip and adhered it to the book fold panel.
On a 4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White, I stamped the paint roller image four times and the paint brush once in Crumb Cake ink, spacing them evenly across the panel.
I colored each handle with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend – and then added a little “dot” on the handles with the bullet end of the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend.
There’s a couple of paint stroke images and I used the wider one to stamp under the roller images in Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock and Lemon Lolly inks.
I used the narrower paint stroke to stamp under the paint brush image in Balmy Blue.
There are ALSO two kinds of “roller fill” images – one for the roller and one for the brush – so…I used the appropriate image to stamp the matching color on each image.
In the corner, I stamped the A Rainbow of Thanks sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
I matted the panel on a 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I added some Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue dots from the Easter Assortment pack and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from the A Rainbow of Thanks set in Tuxedo Black on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added the swirl image in Peach Pie ink and the little splatters image (three times!) in Lemon Lolly. Then I added some Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue dots from the Easter Assortment pack
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Peach Pie swirl, a paint brush and some Lemon Lolly splatters on the front…
…and more of the Easter Joy Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This set – called A Rainbow of Thanks – is one you MIGHT overlook when you get the chance to order the new March 2026 Online Exclusives. But…keep your eye out for it – cuz it’s really cute and fun! And the pretty Easter Joy Specialty DSP is beautiful in soft, Spring colors and designs!
I hope you like this fun little stamp set – and have added this to your gotta-get-it list for 3 March! 🙂
