Paying in the Rain

 

Hello friends, I have another easy card using the “playing in the rain” bundle. I am having a great time with this stamp set and the designer series paper. This set is from the new sale-a-bration catalog. Let’s get started… 

The card base, old olive, cut at 4 1/4x11 and scored at 5 1/2. Raindrop DSP cut at 5 1/4x4. Adhere that to the front of your card base. Cut a 1 1/2 x 4” piece of DSP with the grassy flowers and then using the basic borders die to cut the ground adhere that to the bottom of the card front. On a piece of scrap basic white stamp the bunny, the umbrella using memento black ink. Then using balmy blue ink stamp the clouds. I colored the bunny and umbrella using my stampin blends. Using the mini die cut machine, I die cut all of  the pieces out using the coordinating dies from the bundle. Then you will die cut a circle from the basic shapes die set and stamp your sentiment in the middle of the circle. Using dimenionals pop up the bunny and the clouds. Next pop up the circle and adhere it to the front of your card. Now you will cut another piece of basic white card stock at 4x4 1/4 for the inside of your card. Adhere that using stampin’ seal. You can stamp another sentiment inside. I also stamped my envelope.

Playing in the Rain

                         

Hello my crafty friends, 

Wow, a new month already and a new stamp bundle. This month we are going to be using the “Playing in the Rain” bundle. It is such a cute and fun bundle to play with. Just like last month I will be focusing on one bundle or stamp set. This one has paper that matches and two of the 12x12 sheets have images you can cut out with the dies that come in the bundle. I did not use those with this card, I colored it myself. I love to color the images with the Stampin’ blends. They are the best alcohol markers I have ever used. 

So lets get started…

Granny apple green card stock 11x8 1/2, cut to 11x4 1/4, scored at 5 1/2. DSP cut to 4x5 1/4. Linen twine, cut enough to wrap around twice and tie a small bow. Wrap that around the bottom of the card, tie your bow and adhere to the front of your card. Next we are gong to do some stamping. On a piece of basic white card stock and memento black ink, stamp the cute turtle and the flowers. Then we are going to color the images using mango melody and granny apple green stampin’ blends, dark and light. Once you have finished coloring, cut them out using the mini cut and emboss machine. Now we are going to take the “Rays of light” background stamp and using the stamparatus and another larger piece of basic white card stock. We are are going to stamp the image using mango melody a couple of times to get a good image. Next cut a circle from the rays of light piece, using the 3” basic shapes die. Now stamp your sentiment on the circle. We are ready to assemble. 

Place some dimenionals on the back of the circle and adhere it to one side of the card front. Using some glue and more dimenionals adhere the turtle and flowers to the bottom of the circle. Cut a piece of basic white card stock for the inside of your. If you would like you can stamp the flowers on the bottom, adhere to the inside of your card. Such an easy but cute card.
