Rainbow Card with Video

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends!

 Today I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I have a fun card to share

with you using the newest Stitched Cloud Backdrop Die from the April Release.

This die puts the cutest stitched clouds into your background 

without actually cutting them out.

I thought what better to go with clouds than a fun and colorful rainbow.

What do you do if you don't have a rainbow die?

Well you improvise, right...

I used the Double Stitched Circle Dies to make my bright rainbow

for this card and I added some fun clouds from the He Is Risen Dies . 

I used a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Wavy Sayings stamp set

and stamped it onto one of the clouds in Versafine Black Onyx Ink.

I thought it would be cute to add some shiny rain drops to the card

so I used an old teardrop punch from my stash and punched out

5 raindrops to match my rainbow. I wanted to give them a shiny 

appearance so I added Gina K Crystalline Drops to each one of them.

I filmed a video to show you just how I made my rainbow from the 

Double Stitched Circle Dies and you can watch it here or on YouTube.

He Is Risen Eclipse Card and Video

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends! 

Today is my day on the Kat Scrappiness blog and 

 I have a fun Eclipse card to share with you and a video 

to go along with it to show you exactly how I made it!

I have 2 guests in my video today.....

My cat Poppers who refused to get off of my desk for the video

so I let her stay, excuse the cat hair....

My second guest is my daughter Taylor who took over for my 

voiceover about half way through the video.

I was frustrated and tired and she knows so much about 

card making she agreed to help me out!

She has a great sense of humor, I love her take on card making!

Now on to the card.

This card measures 4" x 4" and features the eclipse technique.

I started out with a panel cut from the Square Zig Zag dies to stamp on.

I stamped those lovely pastel brush strokes from the 

Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and then I used the He Is Risen

trio of crosses die to cut out a focal point.

I also cut that beautiful trio of crosses out 4 more times in 

aqua card stock to layer under the stamped die cut.

Once I layered the "built up" trio of crosses back on to the panel,

they really stood in a very subtle way giving that classic

eclipse look to the card.

Sparkling Clear Jewels gave a nice finishing touch to this card!

It's much easier to understand in a video so you can check out

my video here or on YouTube.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and I hope it inspires you 

to make your own eclipse card!  Also please consider joining the monthly
