This is a sneak peak of the upcoming Rainbow of Happiness bundle and an easy way to make a shaker card! The large rainbow die in the Brilliant Rainbow Dies allows you to cut a negative rainbow perfect for a window shaker card!

Measurements:
Misty Moonlight 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Window Sheet cut to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Foam Adhesive Strips
scrap Basic White cardstock for cloud dies and
sentiment piece

Die cut the large rainbow image into the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock piece.

Cut a Misty Moonlight base cardstock of a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of cardstock. Cut to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.

Adhere the window sheet to the inside of the Basic White die cut cardstock and add Foam Adhesive strips to the perimeter.

Peel off the adhesive strips backing.

Die cut the clouds and using a sponge dauber and Pool Party ink color the edges of the clouds for a little contrast before adhering them to the cardfront.

Stamp a sentiment onto a 1/2″ strip scrap of Basic White cardstock and punch with the Lovely Labels pick a punch and ink up the edges with the Pool Party Sponge Dauber.

Adhere the adhesive strips 3/4th of the way onto the base card and pour in desired amount of current or retired sequins or sprinkles (this is a GREAT way to use your extra sprinkles or sequins! – I used retired Ice Cream Cone Sprinkles for this card!)

Seal the remainder of the adhesive strips down to the base card and adhere the sentiment strip to the bottom of the card and the clouds in the lower and upper quadrants of the card front!

Easy and shaker interactive cards are always loads of fun to make and receive!

Hope this inspired you to use a little sequins or sprinkles especially your old retired batches for a fun, interactive shaker card!

Now go and create art ONE STAMP AT A TIME!

Happy Stampin,’

sneak peak rainbows of happiness in a separated gate fold

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 10, 2021 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, sneak peak

This fun fold was inspired by one of our leading Stampin’ Up! US Demonstrators Lisa C. – thanks for the inspiration! This is a separated Gate Fold card and this is my take on the card using upcoming products which will be debuting in the January to june mini catalog next month on January 4th – make sure to mark your calendars for the Sale-a-bration Kick Off Party on that day! Two New catalogs launch that day!

Measurements:
Mango Melody CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 3/4″ and 2 1/4″ from each end
DSP (sneak peak at the Sale-a-bration DSP that
coordinates with the upcoming stamp set!
2 pieces cut to 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
2 pieces cut to 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″
Mango Melody 3″ x 4″
Magenta Madness 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″
Basic White 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
DSP 2 pieces cut to 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
Basic White CS cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″

Score the Mango Melody or your choice of cardstock at 3/4″ and 2 1/4″ from each end.
Crease the score lines with your bone folder in towards the middle of the base card at the 2 1/4″ score line and back the other way towards the outside edge of the card at the 3/4″ score lines. It will look like the photo below.

Adhere the 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ strips to the outside edge with an equal border all around and take the larger strip and adhere in the adjacent panel. Do this on the other side as well. It will look like the photo below.

Stamp a sentiment on the Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Cardstock and adhere to the inside card base as shown below.

Put together your focal piece stamp an image and/or sentiment on the Basic white piece and adhere the 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ strips to the top and the bottom, adhere this layer to the next largest (the Magenta layer) and the adhere that to the Mango layer.

Close the base card and position the focal piece to the center of the card making sure that the inside sentiment is covered. Place Stampin’ Dimensionals the the back left side of the piece so that it adheres to one of the gate fold sides.

If the card remaining open bothers you – you can use small thin magnets or velcro attachments to allow the card to remain closed.

Love Rainbows and I cannot wait to show you this set and more at my upcoming Sale-a-bration Kick -Off party on January 4th!

Hope this inspired you to try something new – now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
