Absolutely in love with the Here Comes the Sun kit from Taylored Expressions. Limited quantities, I don’t think this one will be around long! So stinking cute! Mix and match the pieces for adorable hellos in a mailbox near you soon!
I used the new Radiant Cutting Plate to make my rainbow background. It takes a few cuts upfront, but then you have options for 11 different backgrounds right off the bat! You simply alter your rainbow order by one open space. I love this little sunshine die and the options for radiants behind the circle glow.
Here I’ve paired the rainbow with the Cloud Stacklets that are (thankfully!) making a comeback to the TE Store. These versatile clouds never left rotation in my die bin when they retired. I use them all the time. I thought the little faces from the Here Comes the Sun set were adorable. The Frame-in-Frame series dies in white showcase your design perfectly.
The TE cardstock colors to create my bright rainbow are: Plum Punch, Jelly Donut, Gumball, Cookie Monster, Cilantro, Green Apple, Lemon Meringue, Candy Corn, Cherry Pop, Lollipop, and Strawberry Milkshake. YUMMY!
For my second design, I used the Radiant Cutting Plate to ink blend a variety of warm shades around the sun with the cute “Here’s to another trip round the sun” sentiment. The colors I used are Pineapple, Banana Cream Pie, Guava, Pink Lemonade, Raspberry Sorbet, Mulled Wine, Sweet Potato Pie, and Peaches n Cream. My sentiment is embossed in white on the middle of the sun that is popped up. The entire panel was splattered with Bleed Proof White.
And one more bonus card this week. I loved the little “you melt my heart” sentiment. I thought it paired well with a big puffy cloud heart, the Cloudy Skies cutting plate, and the sunshine die from the Here Comes the Sun kit. I embossed my sentiment in white on vellum to attach to the card base. I added a few of the white hearts from Bits ‘n Pieces around the sentiment.
Tip: I like to stack multiple layers of cardstock with the A2 Cutting Frames that are the same color. They build interest without being busy!
