Happy Labor Day, crafty friends! I hope you are having a restful day so far. I wanted to create a quick post to share this card set that I made earlier this summer. It has quite a story to go along with it, so here we go. Spellbinders asked me to create a video with this project kit in May. Then there were some production delays, so we put creating with it on hold. Then we got the go ahead again, and I created/filmed my projects. We ended up having a couple family things come up, and headed to Montana a week early. I photographed the cards before we left, and I had my laptop with me in order to upload the video footage and get it edited. Well, when I did that....a quarter of the videos were corrupt. Nothing I could do about it, because I didn't bring these products along with me to Montana. Got home & re-recorded the content that was corrupt. I edited and did the video voice over....by then, this kit was sold out. Sigh.
My friends at Spellbinders were so understanding, and let me know that they were actually planning on re-stocking this kit, and that they would share the video when the Happy Place project kit was officially back in stock. And friends...today is that day! Woot woot! Here is my video that is on the Spellbinders YouTube channel.
Happy Place project kit card set
SUPPLY LIST
You can see how these cards come together on the video, but here is a little overview of the different products used. For this first card I stamped & heat embossed the Kaleidoscope Art stamp set to water friendly paper in gold. I gave it a good water wash, then dropped Turbo Teal & Watermelon Fusion liquid color to it. I lightly spritzed with a spray bottle, then used a brush to move the colors around. I added shimmer to it with Sparkle Silk. I stamped the sentiment from Share Your Smile in Black Licorice, then trimmed into a banner. I adhered it over a knot of gold thread with foam tape. Then accented with Rainbow Drops & Splash Zone sequins to finish.
For this card I ink blended the Sunny Day stencil to white cardstock using the Turbo Teal and Watermelon Fusion inks. I stamped & gold heat embossed the attractions from the Enjoy the Ride stamp set, then fussy cut. I stamped the sentiment to white cardstock in matching inks, then diecut with the ticket shaped die from the Booklet Binding die set. I layered everything to a teal cardbase, then added Sparkle Cuts to the attractions. I finished by accenting with Rainbow Drops & Splash Zone sequins.
The final card is a shaker, using the Pool with a View die set. I started by creating the shaker first, and filling it with Splash Zone sequins, Confetti Sparkle Elements and Sparkle Dust Glitter. I also diecut the beach ball, adhered it to the card front and covered it in Journey Glaze to give it some shine. I stamped the sentiment from the Make a Splash stamp set, and trimmed it into a banner strip. I adhered it coming out from underneath the beach ball, then accented the card with Rainbow Gems to finish.
That is my card set today! You will notice that many of the products are available by themselves, but you do get a significant discount by purchasing the Happy Place project kit. So definitely keep that in mind. If you have any questions about my cards, leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply.

Happy Sunday, crafty friends! I hope you've had a good weekend so far. We had a great day at home yesterday - the temperature was PERFECT outside. Josh home-brewed for the first time in a couple years so he could use the hops he grew, and he is now invigorated to get back to doing one of the things he loves most....and I just love that for him. We had a friend over who hung out & helped him. They set up our Surface outside and watched football...it felt like a normal fall Saturday, which is just plain glorious right now. Some normalcy feels fantastic.
Our September challenge at Pinkfresh Studio went live today, and this month is all about rainbows! You know I love a good rainbow, so I created a couple cards for it! I actually demonstrated these cards live on Hochanda in July, but never finished them in full or photographed them. So I added some finishing touches to each one, as they were perfect for the challenge!
I hope you'll play along with our challenge this month! There are (2) $50 gift card codes to be won, one for a cardmaker and the other for a scrapbooker. We also love to see your Pinkfresh Studio projects, and it's a great way to connect & create with us. Join in on the fun!
Rainbow Colors Card Set
SUPPLY LIST
For the birthday card, I started by stamping the Pop Out Rainbow in the colors linked above., then diecut the panel with the largest Diagonal Stitched Rectangle. Next I diecut Sentiment Suite: Happy Birthday. The scripted word is cut 3 times; once from champagne glitter paper, and twice from white cardstock, while the shadow is diecut from vellum. I stacked & layered those cuts together. Using the diecut sentiment as a guide, I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Simply Sentiments: Hello directly to the rainbow panel in Detail Black ink.
Next I diecut the Artistic Bow from white cardstock and assembled. I layered everything to the card front as shown, then accented with our Crystals Mix in rainbow order to finish. The stamped background is mounted to the cardbase with a full panel of foam adhesive to give it that added dimension that I love!
For the second card, I stamped just a few stripes at an angle using our Pop Out: Straight Stripes stamp set. This is what I love about the versatility of our pop out stamps - you can use them as is with the frame for a fully stamped background, or use use a few to create a clean & simple one like this! No matter what....you will always have perfect stripes. I diecut the Sentiment Suite: Hello exactly the same as the first card, and used it as a guide to stamp the rest of the sentiment as well.
While this card looks different, it is put together pretty much exactly the same as the first card. Easy peasy!
I hope you will play along with our September "Rainbow" challenge this month! If you have any questions about my cards, leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply.
