Sunshine & Rainbows gift box and card – tutorial

I had so much fun making today’s Sunshine & Rainbows gift box and card, using the baby wipe technique. To be honest, I was a bit worried about it being messy but the results were so worth it…

If you’ve never used the baby wipe technique before, you really need to watch my video and give it a go! I hope you have as much fun with it as I did.

The ink refills I used for this technique were Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry and Blueberry Bushel. But so many colours would work just as well for stamping these rainbows onto the Bright & Beautiful DSP.

One sheet of the 6″ x 6″ DSP is enough to make both the card and decorate the little gift box. The inspiration for the whole project came from the little rainbow lip gloss inside my box…

I’d love you to take a closer look at this sunshine & rainbows gift box and card and see how to make them, by watching my video tutorial…

Here’s the sunshine & rainbows gift box and card I made in the video, alongside the ones I made earlier…

Thankfully I found the “I hope” piece of the sentiment after I finished recording the video!! I also did manage to get the other lip balm out of the packaging and attached the ribbon to it…

I hope these cards and gifts will add a little sunshine and rainbows to the recipients’ day!
