Masking with Rainbows of Happiness….

Hello! Did you catch my YouTube Live this week? If not, don’t panic the reply is linked later in this blog post. We had heaps of fun this week making a couple of cards using Masking techniques, and the Rainbows of Happiness stamp and die bundle. I absolutely LOVE this stamp and die set, it’s just got very happy vibes!

This card is so bright and happy. I couldn’t not make a rainbow card in rainbow colours; Poppy Parade, Mango melody, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point. But the part of this card I really love is the background, those dimensional, sparkly, Embossing Paste Rainbows! To create those rainbows, I made a mask by die cutting the rainbow from a piece of Window Sheet, and then added the embossing paste over the top.

The second card in this week’s video, uses masks again, but this time with ink to create a really soft background.

You Made Me Happy card using Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Saleabration with StampinByHannah

This card is super simple to put together. The trickiest bit was making sure that the sentiment was perfectly straight on the card (not something I usually worry about!). However, this is super easy with the Stamparatus. I will admit that I don’t reach for this tool all that often, however, since I made this card I’ve reached for it more and more. Its so handy!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #107 | Birthday Rainbow of Happiness

Happy New Year! This week Inspire.Create.Challenge is back with a theme; Birthday. I will admit that this is partly due to the fact that it is my birthday this week, but also January is a great time to make a bunch of birthday cards to last you all year long.

The Stampin’ Up! January-June catalogue arrives on Tuesday, so today is a bit of sneak peak of one of the new stamp and die bundles, paired with one of my favourite Annual Catalogue sets for the sentiment. The Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and die bundle give you a heap of different rainbow sizes and styles, although the one on this card just uses die cuts.

The Designer Series Paper in the background of this card is available for FREE from Tuesday as part of Sale-a-bration, and was the inspiration behind the colour combination on this card. But, it did need turning down a bit behind the die cuts so I added a layer of Vellum.

The sentiment is taken from Artistically Inked, stamped in Mango Melody, and die cut using the stitched rectangles dies.
