Rainbow Shaped Cards | Instagram Hop | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and happy weekend! 

After reading this awesome post, I would love it if you could join me over on Instagram as today the Honey Bee DT is celebrating the Rainbow Dreams Release with an Instagram Hop, and as such there will be a few prizes up for grabs if you would like to qualify.

As part of this hop, I created two cards. The second card was to use up leftover die cuts from all the projects I had shared previously.

CARD RECIPE

NEW products from Rainbow Dreams include:

• Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base
• Rainbow Accents Dies
• Rainbow Hot Foil Plate
• Rainbow Dreams Stamps
• Look For The Rainbow 
• Look For The Rainbow Dies

I love the bright colors and the happy feeling I get from this colorful card. It definitely is my favorite rainbow card from the release.

As you can see I only foiled the Rainbow sentiment. This collection works so well together. Love how you can mix and match all the products.

For my second card, I wanted to salvage the rainbow pieces that I had cut for previous cards. I used the same size arch and then stacked and staggered them in rainbow order. To create stability I added the clouds for a base.

To turn this rainbow panel into a card I simply cut a piece of paper to create a small card base that would be hidden behind the arches. I then added some ink blended clouds to the front of the card and then glued it to the opening behind the rainbow, see next photo.

I finished this card by stamping and heat embossing the sentiment on the arch and added all the white gel pen details to coordinate with the white.  

These cards, as you can see fit nicely into the coordinating A2 Envelopes.

I hope these bright cards made you smile today and inspired you to create with the new release. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you join me on Instagram for the Hop... sending you all Sunshine and Rainbows this weekend.

Rainbow Foiled Roses Mini Slimline Card and Tag | Studio Katia

Hello friends and happy Saturday!

Have you had a chance to check out Studio Katia's latest release? There are so many new pretty stamps, dies, bling, tools, and all-new Hot Foil plates! If you do and decide to shop there is a May Release Special, Save 20% on new products use code MAY20 at the checkout.

I was super excited to try out the hot foil plates. With these plates, you need to have a hot foil system to be able to foil the design onto the paper. And, if you know me I had to use Rainbow Glimmer Foil.

CARD RECIPE

So to begin I foiled the Roses Hot Foil Plate using the Rainbow Glimmer Foil. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating Spring Roses Dies. Set these pieces aside to work on the card and the tag.

For both the card and the tag I used the Mini Slimline Set One dies. The pattern paper comes from the Black, White, and Rainbow Paper Panels.

I then used foam tape to add the scallop layer to the mini slimline card base. For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Cone Bouquet set, that I stamped and heat embossed in white on black cardstock. 

For the tag, I used a sentiment that comes from the Gift Tag Greeting: Winter set. I just trimmed it down and added it to a black shadow layer.

To finish I just sprinkled on some pearls for more bling!

If you love foiling, I think you will love this Roses Hot Foil Plate. 

Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend, and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Rainbow Snowflake Shaker Cards | Sprayed Stencil Backgrounds | Simon Says Stamp

Hello Friends, 

I am back today with these Rainbow Snowflake Shaker Cards featuring supplies from the Peace On Earth Release from Simon Says Stamp. The snail mail from the US to Canada is killing me... Simon Says has already had another Handmade Holiday Release since this one😱 Thankfully still plenty of time before Christmas!

I had fun creating these cards using my clear bag shaker technique, which makes the assembly process easy when making multiples.

Here is how these were made.

• Lay the snowflake stencil onto a white cardstock panel. Since the stencil is fairly delicate and light I used tape to hold the stencil in place. 
• Use sprays to add color to the background. Anywhere the stencil lays will remain white. I used 3 colors to create a rainbow mix using Distress Oxide Ink Sprays. (See links below)
• Remove the stencil to reveal the background for the first panel.
• Use the ink left on the stencil and flip it onto another white cardstock panel. Use a paper towel to press the image in place.
• I then dipped the stencil in the excess spray and gave it a light water spritz and repeated the previous step to create another background panel.
• Now to create the shakers themselves I used Version One of my Clear Bag Shaker Card Technique. Watch IG Reel below. Or you could easily create these cards using my original DIY Frameless Shaker Card design as well or use a premade shaker creator.

Here is a visual using a different background but the process is the same.

• For the shaker filler, I used a few of the Harmony Snowflake Dies along with Stars Glitter, Majestic Sequins, and a clear rainbow sequin mix that I have had for ages and couldn't tell you where they came from.

Below is the first background created with the sprays and the stencil over the panel. For this first card, I added an extra step to the clear bag. I used the Merry Hot Foil Plate to add the Merry using Aura Glimmer Foil to the top of the clear bag. You will need a Hot Foil System for this step or if you have a die you like you can just glue it to the front of the clear bag. I was so excited when I saw Amy Rysavy share this foiling technique on plastic in a recent post that I had to try it myself on these clear bags.

To the front of this card, I also added some more Harmony Snowflakes dies cut from Gold Foil Mirror cardstock. The Christmas Sentiment Strip comes from the Sentiment Strips Reverse Love Peace Joy set. I then finished the centers of the snowflakes with Iridescent Round Gems. 

These next cards feature the negative results of the sprayed stencils. I think I love these backgrounds more as the snowflake images are more visible. For these cards, I used sentiments from the Sentiment Strips Love Peace Joy, and added a Silver Mirrored Cardstock  Harmony Snowflake Dies to the fronts.

And finally, this last card was done exactly as the previous one only using a different sentiment. 

I know I have a shaker problem and I am slowly working through my issues one shaker at a time 😂 But honestly I am so happy to finally use the sequins and shaker bits that have I have been hoarding for years, and I still haven't really made a dent in them. I hope these fun-filled Rainbow Snowflake Shaker Cards inspired you today.
