2-for-1 Rainbow Cards with Foliage Flair | Kathleen Schmelz

2-for-1 Rainbow Cards with Foliage Flair | Kathleen Schmelz

14 Mar 2025 1 comment

Hello, Pinkfresh fans! It's Kathleen here, and today I’m sharing some beautiful, rainbow colored 2-for-1 cards featuring the new Foliage Flair product suite with you. 🌈🌿 I don't know about you, but I love being able to get multiple cards done with minimal effort!

*Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn’t listed, it’s been discontinued.

Here's what you need to prepare for both cards:

  1. Card Bases: Cut two A2 side-folding card bases from white cardstock.
  2. Card Panels:
    1. Cut (1) A2-sized panel from white cardstock, then die cut (1) more using the largest die from the Double Stitched Rectangles dies.
    2. Ink blend the panel without stitching in a rainbow blend, using a 1" blending brush and Lemon Whip, Peach Fuzz, Ballet Slipper, Soft Lilac, and Ocean Breeze inks from top to bottom.
    3. Die cut the fifth-largest die from the Double Stitched Rectangles dies (measuring approx. 2 1/8" X 3 3/8") from the center of both A2-sized panels.
  3. Foliage Flair:
    1. Stamp the Foliage Flair cling stamp with embossing ink onto white cardstock & heat emboss with white detail embossing powder.
    2. Use Stencil 1 for Design Option 1 and ink blend the same colors as on the panel from top to bottom (Lemon Whip, Peach Fuzz, Ballet Slipper, Soft Lilac, Ocean Breeze)
    3. Use Stencil 1 for Design Option 2 and repeat.
    4. Die cut using the coordinating die.
    5. Using scissors, cut the leaves and floral elements apart so you can use them on their own.

Let's put the first card together:

  1. Adhere the rainbow ink blended frame to one of the card bases, with yellow being at the top and blue at the bottom.
  2. Then adhere the small white die cut panel with foam adhesive in the center.
  3. Adhere the two large floral elements in the top left and bottom right corner of the card, coinciding with the same colors on the background. Use foam adhesive on some parts for more dimension, and let some parts overlap the white center panel.
  4. Heat emboss the "Missing you, Friend" sentiment from the Blooming Grace stamp set with gold detail embossing powder, fussy cut and adhere with foam adhesive on the white panel.
  5. Embellish with Iridescent Dew Drops.

And now for the second card:

  1. Adhere the white die cut frame to one of the card bases.
  2. Then adhere the small rainbow ink blended panel with foam adhesive in the center, with blue/purple being at the top and yellow/orange at the bottom.
  3. Using foam adhesive, add the remaining pieces from the ink blended Foliage Flair set around the outside of the card, coinciding with the color blend on the center panel.
  4. Heat emboss the "Grateful for you always" sentiment from the Flowers for the Soul stamp set with gold detail embossing powder, die cut and adhere with foam adhesive on the center panel.
  5. Embellish with Iridescent Dew Drops.

I love how quick and easy these two cards are to make! You could easily switch up the color scheme (a monochromatic one would look great, too!) or change out the sentiments.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this inspired you to make some 2-for-1 cards. ✨ If you do, we'd love to see what you create! So make sure to tag us on social media.
