Birthday Wit Rainbow Surprise

I have finally fallen for the Rainbow trend, and I mean big time. I seem to be using the the rainbow colours on so many projects and I love it, why did I wait so long to jump on board?

I have spotted that there are a few birthdays coming up in my diary, so it is time to get a wiggle on and make cards for them. I admit that if there is more than one birthday in a fortnight I will generally make the same card for each person, so having a design that works for everyone is a good thing to have in your arsenal of ideas; this is one of those projects.

I was looking at the Birthday Wit stamp set for a while, and was really amused by the sentiments, but it has finally got to the top of my Wish List and I am using it quite a bit. What I have to admit though, is that the Petal Pair Embossing Folders have been in my craft room since my first pre-order and I have only just broken them out of their package! Why didn't I use them sooner, they are fantastic.

I have continued the idea of 'Wit' with this card by making the outside really clean and simple, but with a burst of colour on the inside; I just hope the recipients get my subtle joke!

A Good Day for a Rainbow

I really seem to have got the Rainbow Bug, here is a second card in only a few days, that uses the classic Rainbow Colour Scheme.

I am using some of the Springtime Foil Specialty paper from the Second Release of Sale-a-Bration Items, it is really wonderful, and great for using with all of your colouring tools. This time I have used the Stampin' Write Markers, which work really well on the foils. The colour sits on the whit paper well, but beads off the foil, so you can just wipe it away with a piece of kitchen paper and reveal the stunning foil.

The stamp set is one of those hidden gems, it covers so many occasions and works with the new scalloped circle punches to make some really cute cards - in this case a plea for some sunshine. I have used Basic Grey to stamp the outlines of the images as it gives a softer look, which is what I wanted for this card.

I used some of the off cuts from the Painted Love 12 x 12 cardstock pack, which were left from the last Rainbow card I made and shared with you over the weekend. You can get four 4 x 4" cards from one 12 x 12 " sheet of card, and still have a piece of 4 x 4" cardstock left, it really is a great way to use your 12 x 12" card.

Eclectic Expressions Rainbow Card

This is project uses last of the new Second Release Sale-a-Brations items, and it is fantastic.

I have finally embraced the Rainbow Trend that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment, and, using one of the examples in the Second Release Leaflet as my inspiration, I have created a 4 x 4" card. I hope you agree that this is not only cute, but really easy to put together.

I have used pretty much the whole of the Brights Colour Family in this, so have listed the full Ink Pad Collection in the product list as getting the whole set, saves you 10%, and we always like to save money if we can. Other than the inks, there really aren't that many products needed; the Wink of Stella is of course optional, but a bit of glimmer is always good.

I hope you like this project and will give it a go. If you need any of the p roducts and you are in the UK, I would love to earn your business. Everyone who orders with me gets a handmade card and gift at the beginning of the following month, plus, if you sue the Hostess Code you also get to share the Hostess Rewards, and lotsof other benefits along the way.
