Somewhere Over the Rainbow

-

 St. Patrick's Day is coming up, so I decided to put my Rainbow of Happiness Bundle to good use. This isn't a St. Patrick's Day-specific card, I simply was inspired by iconic St. Patrick's Day images.


Measurements

  • Thick Basic White Card (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White layers (4" x 5-1/4", 1" x 4", small scrap)
  • Basic Black scrap (at least 1-1/2" square)
  • Gold foil scrap 
  • White Baker's Twine (about 5")

Directions
  1. On large Basic White layer, stamp the rainbow using Melon Mambo, Mango Medley, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay. You can stamp largest to smallest or the other way, but make sure the top of your rainbow will be about 1" from the top of the layer.
  2. Die cut the the rainbow border from the long Basic White piece, a 1-1/2" circle from the Basic Black, three clouds from the Basic White scraps and two clouds from the Gold Foil. You should be able to do all this in two passes - one pass if you only cut two Basic White clouds.
  3. Adhere long rainbow border to the base of the Basic White layer using Liquid Glue.
  4. Snip a straight piece off the circle, then a smaller piece parallel to and opposite that one to create the pot. Add dimensionals to the back and adhere to the bottom right of the stamped rainbow.
  5. Use Liquid Glue to adhere the two Gold Foil clouds so that they appear to be overflowing gold from the pot.
  6. Adhere two of the three clouds on the other side of the rainbow with Liquid Glue and one using a dimensional.
  7. Stamp sentiment in Tuxedo Black underneath the rainbow image.
  8. Add a bow from the white twine to the pot using a mini glue dot (or Liquid Glue).
  9. Add three silver epoxy teardrops to card as desired.
  10. Stamp the inside as desired, adding more rainbows or some of the other images from the set.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

Who Wants Some Apple Cider?

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
