Creating multiple cards was the focus of Spring Card Camp. On Day 11 Dawn Woleslagle created a group of cards all focused around die cutting rainbows made from Simon Says Stitched Circles. I didn’t have any of the other supplies she used, but I had plenty of products to substitute. In the end, I created eight cards starting with two sets of die cut circles in rainbow colors. It’s taken me awhile to get them all assembled as I continue to work on my #100DayProject and the #30DayColoring Challenge. This weekend I worked on Mother’s Day cards for Sarah and Betsy, but today I finally finished the last of the rainbow cards.
These are all variations on the theme. One of the two circles was cut into quarters. The clouds on the bottom I cut freehand. For three cards I used stencils for backgrounds, and one uses die cut clouds.
The other circle was cut in half to create two cards. The design for these was actually one I saw in an email from Reverse Confetti. Once again, I didn’t have any of the products used on that card, but I did have good substitutes.
Although Dawn did not use the die cut circles left from the rainbows, I decided I could put them to good use as well, and created two more cards–one pictured here.
I now have a nice stash of cheerful cards to stick in the mail to friends I haven’t seen in over seven weeks. Three of them already have stamps on them and are headed out the door tomorrow. I still have three or four more techniques to try from this card camp, and Spring Card Camp 2 begins on Wednesday. I’m not having any difficulty staying busy!
Wow! these bright rainbow cards make wonderful snail mail! Maybe I should take the next class. You should watch Jennifer McGuires Time Saving hacks video. It was full of great ideas to save ink, paper and time.
Perfect.
Brilliant & such cheerful cards.
These are great..Clean lines, brilliant colors, and a simple design. They make me happy just to look at them. I am inspired to pull out my stash. Thanks for the inspiration!
