Sunshine & Rainbows DSP - a FREE Sale-a-bration item when you make a purchase of $50 (before tax & shipping fees). But only through February 28. Shop HERE at my online store.
Rainbow & Sunshine & Shamrocks card:
I chose a version of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP with lots of green in it to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, coming in March. One side, full of rainbows; the flip side of the DSP is mostly-green with subtle white dots & dashes, used as a strip along the side of the card. Sentiment is from A Wish For Everything stamp set. I stamped it using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White CS and die cut with Layering Circle Dies. For the shamrock: die cut 3 hearts (or punch, if you have the retired mini heart punch) out of Granny Green Card Stock. You can use Sweet Hearts Dies or Give It A Whirl Dies - there are various heart sizes in those sets, too. Adhere the hearts with a Mini Glue Dot, forming the shamrock. Free-hand cut a stem and glue that. Add a little bow using Simply Elegant gold trim. A strip of gold foil paper helps the focal point "pop." Then lastly, a bit of sparkle - I used the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Supply list: Go Rainbows.
CARD DETAILS:
- Card base: Basic White CS, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score/fold at 4 1/4".
- Mat layer: Granny Apple Green CS, 5 1/4" x 4". Adhere to card base.
- Designer Series Paper layer: Rainbow DSP: 5 1/8" x 3". Green & white: 5 1/8" x 1 1/8". Start by adhering the green-white piece to the right side of the card front (on top of the mat layer). Then adhere the rainbow piece, and slightly overlapping the green piece. You want to have just a small border of the Granny Apple Green mat layer showing all around the DSP pieces (approx. 1/16th).
- Focal Piece
- Die cut a circle with Layering Circle Dies.
- Die cut 3 hearts from Granny Apple Green. Adhere tips together with a Mini Glue Dot, forming a shamrock. Adhere this shamrock to the Circle, near bottom right edge. Cut a piece of Granny Apple Green CS for a stem; glue to the shamrock.
- Use stamps from A Wish for Everything stamp set to stamp "St. Patrick's Day" in Memento black ink onto the Circle, next to the shamrock.
- On a scrap piece of Basic White CS, stamp the "happy" from A Wish for Everything stamp set. Fussy cut. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals to the Circle.
- Cut a strip of Gold Foil paper, approximately 3 1/2" x 3/4". Cut an angle on one end. Glue to card front.
- Add the Circle focal piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Tie a small bow with Simply Elegant gold trim & adhere to the stem of the shamrock. Mini Glue Dot works well for this.
- Add a few jewels/rhinestones.
You have it!
