Count Your Rainbows!



Hey! Hope you're all ok.
Today I've used some Reverse Confetti products to create this rainbow styled card.
The sentiment is all about counting rainbows and my first temptation was to go the obvious route of a literal rainbow. Then I looked at my Reverse Confetti dies and thought they'd make a fun accent to the sentiment stamp.

I did actually have the image of Iron Man's arc reactor in my head when I was creating this- so you can probably see where the design of the centrepiece came from!
I used these dies

I simply cut the large circle and then cut the smaller circle centrally out of the large coloured shapes. Simply cut out small pieces and add onto a white shape.
I stamped the 'count' onto the white ring through to the base cardstock. I wasn't sure it would stamp completely but it did!
By adding it to two layers, you can then raise the outer ring to give dimension 
Add a little white gel pen stitching and you're done. Simple CAS but with a rainbow vibe!

See you next Tuesday!

Happy Colours!


I have a necklace which is just lots of buttons attached together and I call it my happy necklace.
So bright and sunny, I'm always asked if I've made it and where I got it from. Wearing it just makes me feel happy!
These colours on the card are like that. How could you not smile when surrounded by the rainbow of tones?!
I've just used two Paper Smooches sets (Design Motifs & Cyber Cafe) and the squiggle stamp is from Newton's Nook (Love a La Carte). Mixing and matching is the best way of getting an unique look
I decided the stripes were too heavy & so cut up the card to create a tag..
I should have left well alone!!
Have you ever wished you'd left things as they were?!!

Well, I'll see you next week.. I've still some teachers cards to finish- we've not broken up from school yet!

Hanging Letters & Alphabet Stamp Sets!

Good morning everyone! I'm posting an idea rather than stamp set today.
I thought you could try this with this Avery Elle set
or maybe this Paper Smooches one?
or even this Mama Elephant set?

I've just suspended the individual letters on some embroidery thread to spell out the phrase. I used a Lawn Fawn alpha set- but these sets above would be PERFECT!These individual alphabet sets are soo handy. Gone are the days of hunting for sentiments or wasting gazzillions of peel off sheets because you've run outta vowels. Have a go at creating a phrase & presenting it in a different way- be unexpected...it's much more fun ;-)

I'm going to be unexpectedly short & leave you more time to shop ;-)
(not many more days to treat yourself before Christmas!!)
