Today, on the 10th (the last day of a subscriber period as we make sure our accounts are active so we don’t miss out on the awesome June kit coming up) I wanted to share one more card that I made with the May 2020 A Kit In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. This is the card that five of my lucky subscribers will be getting in just a few days.
I used up almost all my kit cloud cut-outs making my other projects, but I wanted a cloud on this card. And if I was making five cards, I needed 5 clouds. So I used my punches to punch out some Whisper White circles. I then layered them over each other and popped the most dominant front one up on Dimensionals to create depth. And here is what I came up with. I absolutely love it! Below are the details if you wish to recreate this card with your leftover kit pieces.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
- 2-5/8″ x 2-7/8″
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
- 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ (for the inside layer)
- Scraps for punching three 1-1/2″ Circles and one 2″ Circle
- Kit rainbow piece
- Start with 2-3/16″ x 2-13/16″ (half of the full size), then cut up from the bottom (parallel to the long side) at 3/4″
- Kit rectangular vellum piece
- Start with 2-5/16″ x 3-1/4″ (half of the full size), then cut up from the bottom (parallel to the long side) at 3/4″
Directions…
- Stamp a fun sentiment onto the largest 2″ diameter Whisper White circle. (I actually printed mine from the Share Sunshine Product Giveback PDF Download that was available through June 2nd and then punched it out with the 2″ Circle Punch.)
- Use a leftover cloud from the kit as a stencil. Move from the top down on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White piece, and sponge Balmy Blue ink where the top edge of the cloud meets the Whisper White paper. Continue until this layer looks filled with fluffy clouds.
- After all pieces are cut, stamped, and sponged, start to assemble the middle rainbow layer.
- Add the rainbow pieces to the top of the 2-5/8″ x 2-7/8″ Basic Black piece. Then add the vellum pieces to the underside. There will be gaps on the right and left edges, but these will disappear as the card comes together.
- Add the largest Basic Black layer to the front of the card base. Add the sponged Whisper White layer onto this. Then add the layered rainbow piece onto this using Dimensionals.
- Form the cloud by first adding two smaller circles so they conceal the gaps in the rainbow layer.
- Add the third small circle above and to the right. Then add the large sentiment circle with Dimensionals.
- Here are three versions I made since the PDF had this sentiment in three colors.
If you didn’t get the downloadable PDF at the time it was available, just use some other fun sentiment that will work in a 2″ diameter circle.
