Rain or Shine

There are a couple of patterns in the 4" x 6" Abstract Beauty designer series paper that I thought were great backgrounds for the Flowering Rain Boots images.  


I used two of those patterns on these cards and the sentiments are stamped on the same pattern, using the opposite one on each card. The tulips are stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and the boots are stamped on Pattern Party designer series paper and Friendly Hello designer series paper.

I added a few of the Silver and Clear Epoxy Essentials as accents.

Little Paradise

Living in North Dakota, this is definitely not a scene we see!  Especially now when we are snow covered and our temperatures are below zero so often, it is nice to think about warmer days and a little paradise once in awhile.


I used the Paradise Palms stamp set and coordinating Palms dies (which you can bundle to save 10%).  There is a lot of stamping involved with the top layer, but the card came together rather quickly.  The palm branches on the larger trees were just stamped in Very Vanilla, die cut and popped up with Stampin' dimensionals.


Supplies:
Paradise Palms
Early Espresso, Old Olive, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake, 
Mango Medley ink
Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Early Espresso card stock

Sunshine and Rainbows

I went a little crazy with the scrap bin on these cards coordinating them all with the Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper (SAB 2022). The card stock colors all coordinate with the colors in the designer series paper pack and I used Granny Apple Green for all the card bases.


There are die cuts made with the Picture This, Stitched So Sweetly, Tasteful Labels, Stitched Rectangles and Messages dies. I also used a couple embossing folders - the Hive 3D folder, Tin Tile 3D folder and Painted Textures 3D folder.


For the sentiments I chose to use the Many Messages and Special Moments (SAB 2022) stamp sets...


I also added a variety of different adhesive embellishments to each card.


Since the cards all coordinate with each other, I wanted to share them with you all at once instead of in different posts to show that you can use the same papers and other products to put together many different layouts.

Or cut out images for paper elements and accents. The rainbows and clouds can be die cut or punched using the Brilliant Dies or the Cloud Punch (sold separately). Pair with the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle (sold separately) to add additional patterns and rainbow-themed greetings.

Leave a Trail

The Wildflower Path stamp set not only has some great options for stamping flowers on stems, but it also has some really good sentiments.  My favorite is in the one used on this card, and I think it can be used for lots of different occasions.


In the background, I used the Picture This dies on a piece of Soft Succulent card stock and then added some Harvest Meadow designer series paper behind it. Then I added a layer of Basic Gray that was embossed with the Stripes and Splatters folders and on top of that, a piece of Whimsy and Wonder designer series paper. The stamped layers are both mounted on Misty Moonlight card stock and I added some Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card.
