The design of both cards is the same: rainbow stenciled background with the brand new In The Round Stencil, a die cut sentiment with either the new Chunky Love You Dies or Chunky Happy Dies, and a stamped sentiment strip from the new Happy Days Stamp Set! I love a great, versatile design that can be used for many different occasions, don't you?!!!
A phrase from the Happy Days Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment was die cut with a Nested Banners Die. All the greetings were adhered to the center of the card with foam adhesive.

Hello friends! The latest release from Simon Says Stamp, Crafty Hugs, is now available! I'm sharing two soft rainbow stenciled and background stamped backgrounds thank you cards featuring several new products from the new release. I am always needing thank you cards and the new Extra Large Thank You is incredible. The two new stencils from the release: Geo Leaves and Radiant Hearts are sure to be new favorites!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these stamp and stencil layered backgrounds cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
Both cards feature a similar pastel rainbow stenciled technique but feature different background stencils. I love how you can achieve similar results with different products!
For my first card, I stenciled the Radiant Hearts Stencil on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" smooth white panel with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, and Cracked Pistachio. I removed the stencil (temporarily held in placed with Pixie Spray) and applied a light layer of ink over the stenciled designs with the same ink colors.
The Thank You Text was stamped over the stenciled background with white pigment ink.
The Extra Large Thank You Dies were die cut 3 times from smooth white cardstock and adhered one on top of another for a dimensional, bold greeting.
A sentiment from the US of Craf-ay Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The phrase was die cut with a Nested Banners Die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.
The design was finished with a scattering of Rainbow Sequins.
The second card features the Geo Leaves Stencil. The rest of the card was created exactly like the first design.

Hello friends! Today I am guesting over on the Simon Says Stamp blog with these lift ink butterfly backgrounds cards featuring the June 2020 Card Kit, Beautiful Butterflies. The gorgeous designs from the Beautiful Butterflies 6x8 Stamp Set make the most fantastic ghosted backgrounds on these rainbow alcohol inked beauties!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these lift ink butterfly backgrounds cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
All three cards are the same basic design but feature different alcohol ink colors and greetings. I purposely created a rainbow effect with my three cards, even though a "rainbow" isn't featured on the individual designs. 🌈❤️
Tim Holtz Idea-ologyTypography Findings were used to create the greeting. I glued them in place with Glossy Accent and positioned them easily with a pair of craft tweezers.
A sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies 6x8 Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being trimmed into a strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

Today I'm sharing this set of four inked, stenciled, stamped, and die cut cards featuring lots of new Sunny Days Ahead products as well as some of my previously released favs. I love mixing and matching newer and older product. I am also sharing some tricks and tips for masking stencils in the video. I love this effect!

Leaving that stencil in place, I next used Pixie Spray on the back of the brand new Rose Trio Stencil to hold it in place and inked the roses with Simon Says Stamp Goldenlocks and Sunshine inks and the leaves with Scuba and High Dive inks. I decided not to mask the images and let a bit of the green "bleed" into the roses for a super soft look. Since I already was inking the yellow over the lightly inked aqua background this worked for these cards.
For the mom cards, I die cut the Outline Mom outline and die from each background. I also die cut the outline from smooth white cardstock twice and die cut the mom from Lawn Fawn Rainforest Cardstock. I inlaid and paper pieced the greetings on each background as shown. I love this technique of making a large die cut sentiment part of the background design.

The carrot was die cut from Orange Cardstock and adhered to the acetate window. The bunny from the Small Die of the Month Club Kit "24 Carrot" was die cut from Whip Cream Cardstock and adhered to appear to be hanging onto the carrot frame as shown. The inside of the bunny's ears was die cut from Bubble Gum Cardstock and adhered in place. The R32 Copic Marker was used to add shading. Warm Gray 00 and Warm Gray 3 were used for the bunny and R30 was used for the cheeks.
The front panels were backed with two layers of foam adhesive and the shaker "well" was filled with sequins before the backer was put in place and the shaker was adhered to a white top fold card base.

Hello friends! I just love a good rainbow stripe, don't you?!!! I'm sharing a couple of birthday cards started from a single background that started out with wanting to showcase a striped die cut sentiment. I am always needing birthday cards so anytime I can create more than one in a sitting, it's a good thing! Both cards feature multiple MFT Stamps stamps and dies, many brand new from the February Release or other recent releases! Let's get started!

The new Number Jumble Background was stamped on a 4" x 5 1/4" smooth white background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts Satin Pearl embossing powder. I picked this embossing powder because I wanted a tone-on-tone background that showed up a little better than a white or clear embossed background.
A rainbow of cardstock strips were trimmed to approximately 1/8" wide and adhered to a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of smooth white cardstock with a layer of Stick It Adhesive on the front. The panel was run through my Spellbinders Platinum die cutting machine to flatten the strips and secure them to the Stick It Adhesive.
The pieces and backgrounds were adhered to white top fold card bases as shown. I love that there is no waste with this design! I ran both cards through my die cutting machine again to secure the sentiment inlay into both backgrounds.
The Mini Cupcake Maker Dies were die cut from multiple cardstock and assembled to the top of the die cut greeting as shown. Glossy Accents was applied to the cherry and sprinkles on the cupcakes.
