Card Inspiration: I Dink You’re Amazing!
This card is a cheerful and dimensional project that really shows off what the Pickleball Pals Bundle can do. Bold paddles, playful colours, and layered elements come together for a handmade card with heaps of personality.
- Create the base – Cut and score a top-folding A2 card base from light blue cardstock. Cut a second panel from the same colour and adhere it to the card front with foam adhesive to create subtle dimension.
- Add your background details – Stamp the ball stamp in Power Ink across the background. Lightly splatter white ink over the entire panel for a fun, textured effect.
- Build your paddles – Die cut two pickleball paddles using the Pickleball Pals Bundle. One paddle was cut from white cardstock and layered with a bold gingham pattern in honeycomb orange. The second paddle features a vibrant polka dot design in pink. Assemble with foam pads for dimension and cross the paddles on the card front.
- Embellish with florals – Stamp the daisy paddle and emboss in white. Fussy cut several daisies and add bright yellow centres. Arrange them around the paddles to add a touch of whimsy.
- Finish with the sentiment – Stamp the “I dink you’re amazing!” sentiment in white on teal cardstock and heat emboss. Cut each word into a strip and adhere across the paddles for a layered, dimensional sentiment.
- Final touches – Scatter a few silver sequins across the card front for a little sparkle and shine.
