Layout of the Month - January 2022 - Card #3

I am so tired of gray days and sickness, I can't even tell you!  So this week I used my layout of the month to get myself out of this dreary space and into a brighter place.  I'm even rhyming without noticing.

For dimensions and instructions for this month's layout, click HERE.

Today's samples were both made using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle (#157727, $44.00) & the Cloud Punch (#157749, $18.00.)  

When you purchase these two items during Sale-a-Bration, you also can earn the Sunshine & Rainbows 6x6 DSP pack (#158126) for free.  This pack of paper is sure to break through your cloudy days.

These cards were made utilizing the scraps of each other so let's do this one step by step.

First, cut the rainbows into strips from the DSP and cut them individually so you have rectangles with rainbows.

Next, put your rainbow die on the DSP and run it through your Cut & Emboss Machine.  This will punch out four arcs while leaving just a little hint leftover.  Set this piece aside!

Layer the four arcs on a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of Whisper White by using glue dots on the back.

Punch out the clouds from another piece of SAB DSP.  If you have some that are near the edges, just layer them together with adhesive and dimensionals like I did here.

Now layer your 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 piece of Bermuda Bay Cardstock on your card.  Layer the three 3/4 x 3 3/4 strips on top of it.  Then add your rainbow piece using dimensionals.  Add the two clouds, using adhesive on one and dimensionals on the other.  Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2 x 3ish strip and add with adhesive.

For the next card, cut your card base to 11 x 4 1/4 and score at 5 1/2.  Add your Mango Melody 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 piece of cardstock to the paper with adhesive.  Add three strips of the DSP using adhesive.  Stamp your sentiment on the bottom of the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of Basic White and add to the card with dimensionals.  Add a rectangle rainbow from the DSP to the card with adhesive.

Now, put dimensionals in the three areas on the scrap from card #1.  

Layer this on the card over the DSP. 

Isn't it fun?
