Look For Rainbows

Hi and welcome back to my blog. Today I have a fun rainbow card to share with all of you using lots of goodies from Kat Scrappiness!

Rainbows and shakers are two of my favorite things so I love to create them any chance I get.

I started out by using a raindrop stencil from my stash that is similar to the Newton's Nook Raindrops Stencil. For my inks I love to use the Atelier Inks from Inkon 3 because they blend so smoothly and the colors are so vibrant! I used a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock and a mini blending tool and then I ink blended in rainbow order over the raindrops using these ink colors:

Once I had the ink blending done I took my panel and cut out a smaller panel using the largest die from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle Dies from Kat's store.

Next I took the smaller cloud die from the He Is Risen Dies and I placed it in 3 different places on the raindrop panel and cut it out so I could make 3 different shaker wells on the front of my card.

I turned the panel over and covered it with a piece of acetate making sure to cover the open cloud areas. To pop the panel up and create the shaker wells, I used foam tape to section off the clouds and pop the whole panel up. Now the fun part! I filled all 3 shaker wells with some fun Rainbow Bright Sprinkles! I covered the backs of the clouds with white card stock and then matted the whole panel on to a purple panel measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

I then placed the finished panel on to a white card base.

For the sentiment I used Versafine Black Onyx ink and the Rainbow stamp set by Taylored Expressions and it fit so perfectly with the theme of the card. I also used some Sparkling Clear Droplets around the finished card to add some extra shine!

For one extra fun added element I used the Rainbow made of polymer clay that is included in the

Teal Kawaii Cloud Sprinkles. What a fun element to add to any card!

This card is just all full of color and whimsy and I love how it turned out!

Kat Scrappiness is definitely your go to shop for all things shaker related!

Mini Notecards by Lisa

Good morning crafty friends!

I'm over on the Kat Scrappiness blog today to bring you a sweet mini trio of notecards. I have an easy technique that I think you are going to fall in love with. We are going to make mini notecards using the nested dies we all love and reach for all the time for our regular sized cards. The finished size of each card is approximately 4 1/8" x 2 3/4". What you need is the largest die from any of your nested die sets. I've used rectangles but squares would work as well. The 3 nested die sets I've used are the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangles, the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles and the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies.

For my trio of sweet cards I used patterned paper for the card base for some color and variety but any paper or card stock would work.

After I die cut the largest size die from each set, I folded the paper in half to create a mini card.

Then comes the fun part! Decorate to your heart's desire! I added a piece of white card stock to the front of each mini card and stamped a background with florals and then popped the focal points up on foam tape. I used the Scripty "Hello My Crafty Friend" die as the sentiment on 2 of the cards. I finished each card off with some pretty colored twine and 3 sparkly sequins from the Barbie Sequin mix. I stuck with the rule of 3 to place my sequins down and it was just the right amount of added sparkle. Since the card base is made from dies that have decorative edges, your cards will have 3 fancy edges that are so pretty!

Making these mini notecards is a cinch and uses dies that you probably already have in your stash. Kat's nested dies are the perfect size to create these mini cards. It might not be a new technique but it sure is fun! Small notecards are perfect for lunchbox notes, quick thank you cards or for any occasion that calls for a quick small card! For some added fun you can make your envelope out of the same patterned paper to match your card. The possibilities are endless!
