IT’S WEDNESDAY AND I HAVE THREE GREAT CARD POSTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY

The first card is for the Global Design Project #GDP335 challenge and the theme this week is Rain/Rainbow. Make sure that you click on the image below to go to the Global Design Project site to see all the amazing projects this design team has created.

My added constraint, each Wednesday, is that I feature a specific product collection or bundle. So to work with the challenge or blog hop, I am participating in, I will bring in other items to link them.

I decided to make a double rainbow slimline card – rainbow colours and rainbow shapes.

I am so pleased with the way this card turned out.

The Slim Card Dies were perfect for this this white on white card background. The card front measures 8-3/4″x 3-3/4″. I die cut four pieces of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layers together. When glued on the card front, they add great depth to the card.

Then I used one of the Brilliant Rainbow Dies to cut these shapes in rainbow inspired colours – Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight,Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

The sentiment, from the Here Together Stamp Set, was stamped on the Highland Heather rainbow piece.

The rainbow shapes were then adhered to the front of the card, overlapping at different angles.

I stamped the “heart hands” and cut them with the coordinating Here For You Dies die. Stampin’ Dimensionals were popped underneath the hands and this piece was then centred on the card front.

I added a single Pumpkin Pie jewel,from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack, inside the hands.

The inside of the card and envelope are stamped with one of the Rainbow of Happiness stamps.

Card one of three projects today – I hope you drop by again to see the other two.

Until then, happy stamping.

FOR FRIDAY IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER FUN FOLD CARD

It seems as if the year is trying to race toward the finish already. We are only a few short days away from the end of January, as this week draws to a close.

So it’s time for me to share a Fun Fold card with you. I think this one is called a Triangle Fun Fold card.

This is the last project featuring the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle and the Sunshine & Rainbows 6″x 6″ DPS.

Let me show you the structure of the card before I describe how I used the products.

After I trimmed the cardstock down to 11-1/2″ in length, I cut it diagonally in half. Then I scored the folds at 4-1/4″ and 5-3/4″. Then I used my bone folder to burnish the folds crisply.

I took some of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP and cut the triangle pieces to add to the card front.

Then I used the second largest Stitched Rectangle Die to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock before embossing it. I used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I cut the half rainbow from some Granny Apple Green, Misty Mooklight, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

The sentiment and hearts were stamped onto a small piece of Basic White card and was then cut down to this small size. It was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I drew a live on the back of the embossed white piece and used Multipurpose Glue to attach it to the upper left hand side panel.

To finish off the card I stamped the card insert and envelope. Then I coloured some Iridescent Rhinestones using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.

Let me know what you think of my latest card.

Now it’s time to decide what to use for this week’s project posts, starting with Simply Saturday tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY – IT’S TIME FOR A NEW GIFT BOX DESIGN

Thanks for joining me for today’s 3D Thursday project. I will be making this on my Facebook Live today and will add a video tutorial to my Youtube channel soon.

Let me know what you think of this project.

The gift box is 6″ long and each side is 3″ wide. Here are some instructions that may help.

I used a 12″x 12″ piece of Mango Melody cardstock and cut and scored the box using the instructions above.

Then I cut some of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP for the panels and triangular ends.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners of the front flap.

To assemble the triangle I used Stampin’ Seal + on the flaps that are on the triangles. Then I wrapped the sides up and pressed the edges together. A bone folder made it easier to secure the adhesive in place.

I used super strong magnets to help hold the box flap in place. Mini Glue dots were used to secure them in place.

To finish the gift box I used one of the Brilliant Rainbow Dies to cut the gift tag. I stamped the greeting on this tag and then added some ribbons through the rainbow cut aways. They were gathered up and tied with a piece of white Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack. The tag was then attached to the front of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I’ll come back and add a link to the Youtube video tutorial once I have uploaded it.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a card ready to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
