Rainbow Color Smash Video Tutorial

I've got a video for you today!  This time it's a technique called COLOR SMASH that makes water coloring so much FUN!  I saw this idea on pinterest awhile back and thought it would be the perfect technique to showcase with OVER THE RAINBOW.



As you can see, this technique allows you to layer colors onto your paper any way you like!  Below is the card I did when trying this for the first time, I used a bit less color and left more white space.



I think I like this one that I made first better, which is your favorite??

All you need are a few simple supplies.  Here's a list of what I used for both of these cards.

Ink refills:  Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Wisteria Wonder (purple for original card shown second)

Paper:  Pacific Point card base, Water color paper 4" x 5 1/2"

Accessories:  Small piece of window sheet, empty stamp case, Stampin' Spritzer with water, Versamark, black embossing powder, heat gun, Fast Fuse, Metallic Sequin Assortment Tombow Multi-purpose glue

I hope you enjoyed today's fun technique!  Give it a try and let me know how it goes!  I'd like to start doing more video tutorials.   If you have anything in particular you'd like to see, leave me a comment or e-mail me, I'd love your suggestions!

Rainbow Shadowbox for Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Bog Hop!!  All during June we are featuring different FUN FOLD CARDS and this week is the SHADOWBOX CARD!

You should be arriving from Mary Brown's amazing blog Stamper Camper's Corner, wasn't her card fabulous!!  If you are just starting out here, welcome and enjoy the ride!  Be sure to stop at each blog to check out all of the cool cards we have for you today.

I used to do tons of this style card, I love how easy they are to make and they have a nice WOW factor to them.  I actually envisioned this card when I saw OVER THE RAINBOW in the new catalog.  I knew that the word "RAINBOW" would be just perfect for a shadowbox, what do you think??

Perfect rainbow, right??!!  The stamp has just the right curve to fit over an oval framelit!

One of the coolest things about this shadowbox is that it folds flat and fits into an envelope easy peasy!  The card is built from two pieces of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock.....that simple!  Just add all the extra bells and whistles to make it unique.  To get the proper shape, score each end of the cardstock at 1/2" and 1" and adhere the edges together with tear tape.

I used the third oval framelit from the center to cut the front panel of the card.  A bit of Whisper White inside gives the perfect base for the sentiment and sun peeping out.  Fluffy Soft Sky clouds from Sprinkles of Life are like the icing on the cake, they add a nice whimsical touch.  And of course I had to add in gold sequins!  Gotta have gold at the end of the rainbow!!

I am super pleased with how this card turned out, I hope you enjoyed it too!  Now it's time for the next stop, Debbie Henderson's gorgeous blog Debbie's Design's to see her amazing card for today.  Don't forget to continue through all of the blogs, you won't want to miss a thing!

Thanks for hanging out with us again!  See you next time!

Over the Rainbow

With all the rainy weather lately in Ohio, I needed a bit of a pick-me-up!  To the rescue was the FUN new stamp set OVER THE RAINBOW.

This is one of those whimsical sets that you just can't help but smile about!  What inspired this happy design for today??  None other than the unique sketch at Try Stampin' -Or Not- On Tuesday.

Isn't this a fun way to inspire creativity!  You can pick the photo or the sketch...or both!  I don't have anything beachy, so I used the sketch to bring my happy rainbow to life.

As you can see, I did some serious paper piecing!  It took a bit of fussy cutting, but it was totally worth it!

Clouds from Sprinkles of Life were a nice compliment and fit just right with a rainbow.  They were an easy addition, the coordinating punch meant no more fussy cutting for this card!

Alright, now it's up to you to turn a little inspiration into a gorgeous card.  Why not give this week's sketch a try with me??  Just hop on over to Try Stampin' to get all the details and see more great samples from the Design Team.

Thanks for hanging out with me today and Happy Stamping!
