Wobble Yay! Card

Whether it is someone's graduation or you just want to congratulate an accomplishment, greeting cards are always a fun way to express our excitement. Today I am sharing a card that I created using a woodblock stamp called hero_product_link sku="H6128" text="Yay!"] along with hero_product_link sku="AF241" text="Neon Inks"].

I began by creating the focal point. I stamped the sentiment with hero_product_link sku="AF345" text="Intense Black Ink"] over hero_product_link sku="PS610" text="Snow Layering paper"], and I colored the letters with markers. Additionally, I stamped a complementary sentiment from a set called hero_product_link sku="CL954" text="Many Everyday Messages"] with Black ink as well. I die cut the images into a circle, and then I put Glossy Accents over the letters to make them shiny and puffy :)

Bright hero_product_link sku="AF241" text="Neon Inks"] were just perfect for this card, so using some DIY circle foam stamps I created a confetti type of background. After that , I stamped a background called hero_product_link sku="CG687" text="Alphabet Soup bold prints"] with hero_product_link sku="AF345" text="Intense Black Ink"]. To create a a little bit of more interest to the background I clear embossed small circles randomly over the background. You can see them in one of the further pictures.

I wanted to make this card more fun, so instead of just using foam tape to create dimension, I used a Wobble spring behind the sentiment, which makes the card playful :)

Here you can see how the wobble spring works...

Cards like this one make me smile. I hope you feel inspired today to create using bright colors and fun elements to make others smile.
