The card I have to share with you today is one that was created during the forever rain we seemed to have last week. But I made a Happy rainy day card. LOL!! It, of course, stars the Playing In The Rain stamp set.
Stamps
Weather is not always what we want, nor is life!, so we have to make the best of it. That is the idea behind this card. It is an easy card to create with the fun Playing In The Rain stamp set. All of the images are included in the set which is awesome.
The images were all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. I went a little outside the norm with my daisies and made them Gerber Daisies so I could have blue ones! The only non black stamping is the rain drops. That is done using Pool Party and matches the water puddle under the bunny. It is not shown, but I stamped a little rain and flowers on the inside of the card as well.
Papers and Colors
To have a “blue” sky, I went with the Glorious Gingham Blueberry Bushel. It was a really difficult decision as to which side of the paper to use. The other side is the larger plaid / gingham. Ultimately the small check won out and I love it. To compliment the bunny, I used Crumb Cake for the card base and then a layer of Blueberrry Bushel. The finishing touch is a single Glossy Dot to further emphasize the rain color.
Reminder for the Designer Series Paper Sale……..only today and tomorrow to take advantage of the discount on the wonderful DSP. The Glorious Gingham that I used today is included in the sale!
The Starter Kit promotion to receive an additional $30.00 of product also ends tomorrow!!! I would love to talk with you about this if you have an interest.

I am sharing a second version of the fun Twist card today. This one uses the Zany Zoo and Bright & Beautiful DSP for an exciting look to a birthday card.
And here is the open, and Twisted, view:
Stamps and Dies
The Zany Zoo Bundle is one of the fun parts of this card. The raccoon and balloons immediately make me smile and think happy things are going to happen. And the die set makes cutting out the raccoon with the balloons so easy. I could not resist the sentiment that is on the front. It may be more suited for the inside, but I wanted it to continue the happy of the raccoon on the front of the card. The sentiment is from the stamp set as is the inside sentiment.
Papers
To go along with the Happy and Fun theme I could not find a better option that the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series paper. This paper has fun on every sheet. But these stripes were perfect. They allowed me to use bright colors and stand out. The card base is Lemon Lime Twist with Azure Afternoon as the layers.
Layout
This card was first made by me back in April. It is a sweet and more subdued version. You can see it HERE.
I have a pdf of this card. Which would make the other as well, just using different papers and stamps. Click on the photo below and you will get the pdf.
Thank you for stopping by today!!
Don’t forget that the Designer Series Paper sale only has a few days left!!!! This gorgeous Bright & Beautiful DSP is included in the sale.

Today I am joining the Fun Fold Blog Hop of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. You all know that Fun Folds are my favorite thing. Well today I have found a new twist to an old fold. I am calling it a Pinwheel Tucked Fold. It stars the Irresistible Blooms products.
The Fold
I love this fun look on the front of the card. This Fun Fold I saw on Karen Titus’s page. It is really simple and can be used as a single layer card with this Fun part as the inside once opened. I decided to add it to a regular top fold card. Here are open views.
The Fun Fold is cerated from a piece of 6X6 DSP. I used the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. (Tip: it is included in the DSP Sale even though it is an Online Exclusive. ) All you need to do is score at 1 1/2″ on all four sides. Fold and burnish the score lines. Then cut off each of the corners leaving a square in the center with 4 flaps. Place your paper in the orientation you want your pattern. Beginning with the flap at the top, fold the top right corner down flush with the score line. Turn your paper and do all four sides. To finish, fold down each flap where the folded edge is laying on the flat of the adjacent flap. When you get to the last flap just tuck it in like you would on a cardboard box.
Stamp Sets and Colors
The stamp sets I used are the Irresistible Blooms and the Beautiful Balloons. I chose to stamp on the strip of DSP at the bottom front of the card. It did not look finished when I stamped only on the Basic White layer. The colors are Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink. With two soft dolors the Memento Tuxedo Black really pops. Although I did add the two main colors with the balloon and the confetti swirls. To finish the card I scattered a few of my new favorite embellishments. They are the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins.
Measurements
Petal Pink card base is 4 1/4 X 11
Basic White layer is 4 X 5 1/4 with same size for inside layer
Petal Pink square is 3 1/4 X 3 1/4
DSP is 6X6
inside of fun fold is Basic White at 2 3/4 X 2 3/4
DSP strips for front and inside are each 3 3/4 X 1
Thank you for stopping in today and hopping along with us. The lineup is below for you to visit the other Fun Fold ideas of the day.

I have a fun technique to share with you today. And I actually created it myself. At least I have not seen it done before. A really quick method to create a background for your cards. It is paired with the Layering Leaves and Bough Punch for a bright card.
Background
This fun background was created when I was trying to create some stripes with watercolor. Except I messed up and it looked horrible. I happened to look at a clear block that was standing on it’s side and realized the sides are not flat. Duh!!! Like I didn’t already know that. So I took the H Clear Block, inked the side with Pebbled Path Ink and stamped. My lines are not straight, but that is okay with me. The best part is that you get two lines at once. I tried to eyeball the straightness and the placement by doing the block with between stamping. It is definitely an easy background to try and I hope you will give it a shot.
Colors and Stamps
To pair with the Pebbled Path, I wanted bright colors for the layers. The card base is Parakeet Party with Bubble Bath as the layer. Keeping with those colors, I stamped the leaves from Layering Leaves stamp set with Parakeet Party and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. For the little flower looking pieces I stamped with Parakeet Party and colored the tip with Bubble Gum Dark Stampin’ Blend.
The sentiment is such a sweet one and is great for many card occasions. It is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. The ink is Pebbled Path to tie back to the stripes. I also stamped some Bubble Bath splatters, from the stamp set, around where the leaves would be.
Punches
There are two punches used on this project. The first is for the leaves which is the Boughs Punch. A tip I have used is to punch from a scrap of paper. Use that negative to place your stamps. I placed them stamping side down into the negatives (both stamps) and then picked up with a Clear Block. That way when I stamped the images they were perfectly aligned to punch out. This is especially good when doing multiples!
The second punch is the one used on the sentiment. It is the Happy Labels Punch. This is a pick a punch. There are two sizes of scalloped ends. I chose to use the larger scallops for this card. The sentiment is adhered over the greenery with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then a scattering of the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins in the pink color are used.

Today I have a second card made using the Patchwork Pieces Dies. This is the sunburst looking one. I have created a flower garden look with some fun products.
Dies and Stamps
There are two different Die sets used today. The main one is the Patchwork Pieces Dies. This set contains two dies that cut a scene for you. You can see the other die HERE that was used in a card I posted a few weeks ago. Both Dies are made to fit the pieces back together. And I will say that both can be a bit tricky. In each instance I had to look at the die itself to place the pieces. But once you get started it is fine. For this card I used a piece of DSP that was 3 1/4 X 4 3/4. That leaves a very thin border once it is cut. And I layered it on a White that is cut 3 1/2 X 5. I wanted the layer and it’s border to assist me in placing the pieces.
The second Die set used is the Sending Dies. They pair with the Sending Smiles stamp set but are no longer bundled together. All of the additional layers are stamped using the Sending Smiles stamp set and die cut with the Sending Dies. I love the sentiment label. There are two different sizes of this in the Die set.
Colors and Extras
The card base, and all of the colors, came from this fun flower DSP. This piece is from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series paper. It is one of the large packs of paper and has pieces that can pair with a number of the stamp sets and punches. The Night of Navy and White help the DSP to pop. So the flowers were pulled from the colors also. Daffodil Delight for the daisy and Bubble Bath for the little flowers. I did go traditional on the stem and leaves with Shaded Spruce. It is also used for the sentiment to not feel as left out!
The sentiment is bookended with Blue Pastel Sequins. There is also one of the large pink Pastel Sequins in the center of the daisy. The light doesn’t allow it to really show. And the final touch is the Starry Sky Metallic Ribbon tied onto the end of the sentiment.
