Pastel rainbow

 Hello there sunshine!  Today I have a sweet little mini slimline card to share with you.

Since my last few cards have been bright rainbows, I wanted to try something a little more subdued.

I grabbed several Trinity Stamps products from my stash and got to work.  I cut the rainbow from the Rainbow Funshine die set six times from different colors of cardstock.  I then cut the basic rainbow shape out of white cardstock.  I covered it with adhesive and added the rainbow strips.

Next I grabbed the the panel die from the mini slimline Clean and Simple panels set.  I lined it up over my rainbow where I wanted to cut it and ran it through my die cut machine.  I then took the panel die and the next layer die and taped them together on a piece of white cardstock.  This way I created a white frame.  

I took the next largest die and cut out the grey polka dot layer.  This paper came from the Winter Hues paper pad (it is retired).  And with the largest die from the set I cut a grey layer.  I glued the two layers and the white frame together.  Then I added foam tape to the pack of the rainbow pieces.  I carefully added them to the open panels of the frame piece.   I mixed grey ink with Shimmer Spray and splattered it on the panels with a paint brush.

While the panels were drying, I stamped the Hello Sunshine sentiment from the Summer Bouquet Builder (also retired) with black ink.  I cut it out with a banner die and added foam tape to the back.  I added it to the panel.  I took the entire piece and glued it to a 6 1/4" x 3 1/4" card base.

I felt it needed just a bit of bling so I added some Bubble Bath baubles with liquid glue.  We have a finish!

Have a great day friends!

Fabulous Fall

Greetings fellow crafters!  Fall has finally arrived in my area and that makes me a happy camper!  I'm lucky to live where the trees turn ALL the different colors.  Since it feels like fall, I felt a fall themed card was definitely called for.  I dug into my stash of old and new products from Scrappy Tails Crafts to create this mini slimline card.

This card actually got its start many weeks ago when I was playing with my newest Distress Mica Spray stains.  I created a couple of gorgeous panels out of watercolor cardstock.

Then I took out the Fall Assorted Leaves dies and cut as many leaves and bits that I could get out of one of the panels.

Let's talk details.  I cut the large leaf vein out of copper cardstock and glued it to the leaf.  I used the long, skinny lattice like die from the A7 Book Add-on & Fancy Oval set to cut three different colors of cardstock.  Next I used the smallest layering panel from the Slimline Shadow Box dies to cut a piece of light tan cardstock.  Then I ran the panel through my die cut machine with the Slimline Tiki Pattern die.  I splattered the panel with Walnut Stain distress ink spray and gold acrylic paint.  Once it was dry I used the Walnut Stain distress ink and a blending brush around the edges of the panel.

The next step was to use the next largest die from the Slimline Shadow Box die set to cut a panel out of a dark tan cardstock.  I also used the Hello die from the same set.  I cut it out of the copper cardstock and the shadow layer out of the same light cardstock.  Now I have a bunch of parts and pieces ready to go.

This is the easy part.  I glued the three colored strips to the left side of the light panel and cut off the extra.  Next came the large leaf.  I used liquid adhesive to add it to the panel.  I glued the "hello" to the shadow layer and added foam tape to the back before adding it to the panel.  I also took the little ball-like flowers and leaves and glued it tucked under the sentiment.

I glued the light panel to the darker tan panel and then onto a mini slimline card base that measures 3 1/2" x 6 1/2".  For the final touch I added Copper Penny Nuvo drops.  Fini!

Thanks so much for visiting today.  May your day be excellent!

Let's talk about my card shall we??

This card is jam packed with lots of the new products from the Harvest Blessings release.  Detailed Multi Layered Sunflower stencil and die, A7 Harvest Blessing cover plate die, Wild Sunflowers stamp set, and a few older items A7 Book Pop Up die and Starry Night stencils.

Step one: Use the Multi Layerd Sunflower stencil with inks and blending brushes. For the final flower layer I added some gold glitter paste.

Step two: Use Wild Sunflowers stamp with brown ink to cover cardstock panel.

Step three: Splatter panel generously with white and gold splatters.

Step four: Cut gold glitter cardstock using one of the dies from the A7 Book Pop Up die set. Adhere to panel.

Step five: Add brown ink around edges of sunflower. Also add brown splatter.

Step six: Put it all together. I did heat emboss the word "Autumn" from the Wild Sunflowers stamp set in gold. I popped it up with foam tape before adding it to the card.

Step seven: admire your pretty card!

Since I had still had the stencil out on my desk, I went ahead and created a second card with a totally different look!

Seet that pretty polka dot paper?  That's from the new 6x6 Halloween paper pad!
