 Hello there, it's Sandy Olnok with some sparkly rainbow cards that I thought I would show you today. I picked up a while ago this pad from Memory Box and it's got two sheets of each one of the colors, kind of goldish green, we've got some teal and blue, lots of different beautiful rainbow colors. The glitter on here does not like flake off all over the place so that was a good thing. And they have yellow, they have two sheets of each one of these colors by the way. And then they have another yellow, yay! And I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with this because I wanted to do a special kind of project and I have some patrons who just joined recently and I wanted to send some fabulous sparkly rainbow cards out to them. So I disappeared the entire six by six pad and I'll show you two different designs that I made out of them and I split it between them. First one is this rainbow dye from Ellen Hudson. There's five sections so I cut out the rainbow five times out of five sheets and then it was just a matter of mixing and matching them. And these base pieces, at first I thought that gold color was gold but I'm thinking it's more of green maybe but there's two slightly different colors between them. And then I took the largest arc in each one and put one on each of these different rainbow bases and then did the second and the third and the fourth. Now you can't really get a rainbow order when you do it this way because it's just not going to happen. They're not all going to be in the same order. You could dye cut all of that out of white paper and color them if you wanted or if you're making a whole ton of them then cut them evenly out of the colors that you want so that everybody gets one of those pieces. But this whole process just ends up being kind of random. I just made sure that each one had one of every color in it so that when they all came together everybody had a little share of the joy. So the next step is to figure out how to put them together and what I did was turn them upside down and nest them really tightly because they do fit really well together. Put some scotch tape on the back just to hold them in place and a little bit more across it just so as I'm working with the rest of this it doesn't go anywhere. And then to adhere them onto the glitter paper I tried another glue and that didn't work because the glitter paper is just so textural it doesn't really hold anything and it's almost plasticky too I guess you might say, whatever seals it in. So the dimensional adhesive worked really well to adhere them onto each other and it feels nice and beefy really nice for a card. So I did all of them you can see how gorgeous they are all nested together with one popped up on a layer I just think that looks really gorgeous and rich and yummy. So to make a card out of it you fold your card stock in half and do the hamburger fold not the hot dog fold. There was a little girl who once told me the tall cards are hot dog cards and the horizontal cards with the horizontal fold are hamburger cards that's what she decided and that's what they are in my head and then you put your die down so that it hangs off the top just a little bit that's going to be the hinge where the card bends but it's going to give you that little horizontal flat part on the top you're not going to see it when you adhere it onto the back of these rainbows and they'll still act like cards but you won't have to look at that little cut off spot on the top and then you can write a message inside and they'll stand up which is kind of nice. Now for the other cards I'll put a sentiment on that one later but for the other cards I wanted to put a rectangle of the sparkly paper on coordinating card bases. I didn't have coordinating colors for all of them so I used some airbrush to create a little edge around it. I could have done that with just strokes of marker but airbrush doesn't bleed through so I thought that would be a little bit better and I'd have an inside that would be white. That would be kind of nice so I glued everything down onto card bases and then figured out a simple design that I could do with all of these cards and get them all done and just do kind of a mass production thing. Started out with a sheet of white card stock and cut out circles for the sentiments and I used the rainbow set from Ellen Hudson that has lots of sentiments in it but I just wanted to use smile. There are some other sentiments in there about good luck and better days ahead and all that kind of thing but these cards are going to go to patrons and especially some of my newer patrons and I just wanted them to smile. I didn't want to make them you know think there was anything deeper behind the card other than I just want to make you smile. So in my MISTI I set up a little corner for my circles and since I can't really really put any magnets down on top of that it's such a small thing I just nested them in between some of the magnets and it holds it in there long enough that I can get that stamp stamped onto each one of those circles. Then I just used all the scraps to punch a gajillion circles and you could punch circles till the cows come home on these and if you run out of card bases that had the sparkly on these are going to work as well beautifully on white card bases so you could do the same kind of a thing if you have lots of leftover circles and then I put a series of circles on each one kind of in a little flow and two-thirds down from the top so layout wise it's pleasing and I used two big circles of color two little ones and the ones on the left and right I cut just a sliver off of it so that they have a vertical edge so they feel like they're attached to the side of the card so those are all done then I just wanted to add sentiments onto the rainbows and I put that on a little banner piece that I cut out and use my little scissors to make the arc on the left hand side so I think these are going to be super sweet little cards I got a ton out of one little pack of paper so that was kind of cool to have all of those done in one afternoon and have lots that I can send out to people so if you're interested also in more rainbowy ideas I have a whole page on my blog on my inspiration tab full of all kinds of rainbow projects lots of them are coloring projects so check it out if you're interested in more sunshine and rainbows and I will see you guys again very soon with another video so you take care have a great day and go have fun with color bye
