Find out how to brighten up any day with handmade cards featuring the Sweet Citrus Stamps by Stampin’ Up! Explore fun ideas with colorful lemons and oranges, and make juicy cards that pack a punch. No sour faces here, just sweet sentiments and citrus-filled fun for your favorite people.
For this card, I embossed the Basic White mat using the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Folder, which is quite a deep embossing folder. I mixed some of the Granny Apple Green pastel chalk with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter and then just started coloring! It was so easy to do and the end card was a sparkly delight!
