Playing In The Rain

Sunday, April 9, 2023

I have been playing with my PLAYING IN THE RAIN stamp set along with the RAIN OR SHINE designer paper.
I am super happy to tell you that the PLAYING IN THE RAIN stamp set and dies are carried over to the new Annual Catalog! However, and here'd the catch - if you want to take advantage of the 10% bundle price you will want to grab those NOW! Before the end of April.  ALSO...the RAIN OR SHINE designer paper IS on the LAST CHANCE LIST. If you love this coordinating paper, grab it NOW!

You can view my previous post of PLAYING IN THE RAIN HERE


This first card was inspired by Mary Brown, I changed up the sentiment and used a past Paper Pumpkin stamp. Don't forget to utilize these great stamps as you accumulate them.
Just a heads up that the designer papers IS on the LAST CHANCE LIST, and they typically go pretty fast. Some will have a discount so those especially will go fast. Check out the LAST CHANCE LIST links below.

                                                               Inspired by Glenda Calkins
The LOOSE DAISIES are so sweet and add just the perfect touch. The panels are 1", 2" and 1" 

I absolutely love this next card that was inspired by Tina Wardell

The little butterfly comes from EASTER BUNNY, and the "sending" 
comes from EDEN'S GARDEN, you just need to mask off the word "hugs" when stamping.
The ALPHABET ALA MODE DIES are one of my favorite! the letters are stacked 3 high and colored with the Tahitian Tide Stampin' Blends, dark on the top and light on the bottom.
I love this technique called Peekaboo Circle
The ladies will be making this card at an upcoming Tuesday Class
The inside sentiment is from CHARMING SENTIMENTS - this set IS carried over to the new Annual Catalog
Inspired by Karen. The other stamp set used is BIGGEST WISH 
and inside I used FRAMED OCCASIONS
Biggest Wish is carried over to the new catalog but the Framed Occasions set is on the last chance list
Inspired by Mary Deatherage
Inspired by Bree Wrenwick on Instagram
Inspired by Marsha LaFroth on Youtube
I can't wait to use this baby shower card for a special baby shower in May
inspired by Karen Titus on Pinterest. 
No instructions, I had to come up with the dimensions on my own
so not sure if I did it justice or not.
I thought the corner was a little empty so I added one of the flower pieces 
that I fussy cut out from the designer paper.
For the front "hello" I used CONVERSATION BUBBLES, 
and for the inside I used the FRAMED OCCASIONS again
Both Conversation Bubbles and Framed Occasions are on the LAST CHANCE LIST
Inspired by one I saw on Pinterest - no blog link, and I know that St Patrick's Day is over, but I just couldn't resist such a cute card. I will save these for next year. 
Which one do you like best? 
The one with the stripes or the one with the polka dots?
The sentiment comes from SIMPLY FABULOUS (on the last chance list)
I used the Brights 6x6 paper stack and the vertical rainbow is cut from 
SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS (retired)
previous SAB designer paper and the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES
I love the "BONUS" dies the come with the PLAYING IN THE RAIN, 
like the bridge and the grasses  
Here I go again making a holiday card for a holiday that has passed, 
but I will hold on to this one for next year.  Inspired by Cindy B
DANDY DESIGNS Designer Paper from SAB, Scalloped Edge from 
HAND PENNED (on the last chance list)
heart punch (retired, just use whatever heart punch or die you have on hand)
Sentiment from MEANT TO BE (retired)
The stump is three layers thick with Crumb Cake, sponged with Soft Suede 
(Soft Suede color is on the last chance list)
Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon (on the last chance list)
What does the fox say?
original designer: Heather Klump (no blog)
Again I used the DANDY DESIGNS Designer Paper that was free during SAB
Other product: TAILOR MADE TAGS DIES, 
POOL PARTY SHEER RIBBON- (on the last chance list), WHITE TWINE, GEMS
Inspired by Chris Lang (no blog) I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest.
Inspired by Kathy
Using the SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS Designer Paper 
that was free during SAB a while back
The XOXO comes from a previous Paper Pumpkin set.
This next card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. (no name, no blog)
I also used the RAINDROPS 3D Embossing folder and the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH
I stamped and cut out the umbrella on Balmy Blue cardstock - the one that is attached to the fox stamp in the PLAYING IN THE RAIN stamp set, and cut it out, then I used the light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend to make it darker. For the handle I just created one with my Sharpie Marker and hand cut it out.
One last card with PLAYING IN THE RAIN - for now, because it is carried over to the Annual Catalog
I saw a card like this on Pinterest by Karen at Stampinghabit.com, but she has no link to her exact card. 
I changed it up by using the DECKLED RECTANGLES DIES, Hand creating the odd shaped hearts and printing the sentiment on my computer. I added a bunch of rhinestones (the original had some sort of bright gem). I had enough designer paper left to make 2 of these cards, and I can't wait to send them out next year
