 Γεια σας my crafty friends and welcome back to another card making video full of rainbows. Today I'm showcasing the June card kit by Simon's stamp and the theme is all about rainbows. You will find amazing products here. This is a great value for money this month and let's take a quick look on what you will get. This is a set of stickers, epox stickers with rainbows and clouds. You will get a full package of the new domed bledding forms. Didn't have any of those so it's a great opportunity to try them out. A set of four ink cubes by Simon's stamp in lovely bright colors. You'll also get a die. This is a die that is going to give you a rainbow. It doesn't cut out the inside pieces but it does emboss them so you will get a lovely effect from that. Also you get this huge stencil. Now this stencil is amazing it gives you so many different opportunities. Let me put it on here so you can see all the designs. Works on a slimline card as well and you will get rainbows, clouds and many shapes. Here is a really striking A2 envelope for sending out your cards. Here is a package with tons of gems in rainbow colors. I will be keeping that on top of my deck so you will see me using it throughout the next cards. Now you will also get your pattern paper, lovely bright colors perfect for the season. The yellow one is adorable it is full of suns with faces on top and just like colors you can get everything you see in this box separately if you like but if you get it as a bundle you will get a better price. So these were the pattern papers. You will also get a little pom pom in yellow from Doris and with the stamp set you can create rainbows straight or in a curve bigger and smaller. You also get lots of clouds as well as many sentiments. And finally you get a couple of card stock, this amazing rainbow one and a white. If you want to win this card kit I do have a giveaway on my blog. Make sure to leave me a comment there. So for today I'm going to create a couple of cards and hopefully inspire you. I am going to start on a white panel and I will work with the edge of the stencil. So I'm using some tape to secure that stencil on top of my paper and then I'm going to use the domed foam tape included in the kit along with the blue ink from the kit and I'm going to apply some ink all over the top of my card stock. I'm not going for the perfect blending here, I like to have splotches and that is because it looks more like a sky. I don't want to have a completely flat color, I think it looks more interesting this way. And there are many ways to use this stencil. You can walk it along that sky and create even more clouds one on top of the other however I'm going for a more clean and simple look today. So I'm just going to add my sky at the top and leave the bottom white. Now once you have this background you can stamp a rainbow at the top and you can add your sentiment on top of the cloud where you have that white space and you are ready to go. However I'm going to show you how I'm going to take it a step further and I'm going to use embossing powders for the rainbow which is going to give some extra shine. The embossing powder at the same time is opaque so on top of the blue sky is not going to be a problem it's going to sit on top of it. If you don't have colorful embossing powders you can do that in another way. So you can first stamp your rainbow you can apply clear embossing powder if you like which is going to give that shine and then on top you can blend your blue sky it's not going to go over the rainbow since embossing powder resists the ink. Now look how I did add the next row of rainbow just attach it on the previous one and then remove the first one this way you know that you have placed that stamp exactly on the same curve as the first line. It is really difficult to align long stamps because they have a mind of their own but this is a nice trick. Of course I'm going rainbow order here I'm going to apply orange and you can go ahead and do that step again and again until you have a full rainbow aligning all those lines inside the previous one however I'm going just for a half rainbow and I'm going to stop at four colors. I don't want to use this panel as a whole that's why I'm using a rectangle die this is one of those that have a lovely stitching all around I'm going to run it through my die cutting machine and this way I will end up with a panel I like to have smaller panels than the actual A2 card because this way I end up having a border and I am a big fan of borders I always think that they make the card look more finished. Now I'm going to use that stencil again and this time I'm not going to do any stenciling I'm just going to draw a line along that design. Don't forget that this is always another way to use your stencils so all I'm going to do is some fuzzy cutting of course I'm going to cut outside that black line so you won't be able to see that at the end and I will end up with a layer of cloud that I can pop on top of my card. Since I want to have that lovely stitching around that cloud as well so that I have a continuous design with the main panel I'm going to use the same die to cut out that little piece and when I place it on top of the other cloud it's going to give me a layer which is something that I absolutely love dimension plus it's going to make that rainbow as if it is coming from behind that cloud. From the stamp set I went with a sentiment that says you are my rainbow on a cloudy day and I did stamp that with black ink on this cloud but of course you can go with different colors to match the colors of your rainbow. To finish it off I'm going to stick it on top of my card base and this is a standard card base that's four and a quarter by five and a half and if you want to add an extra shine you can go with those tiny gems and I'm going to spread them around following the colors of the rainbow so red gems on the red stripe and so on. Here are some close-up photos on the first rainbow card for today and let's move on to the second one and this time I'm going to play with pattern paper and the epoxy stickers so from this pattern paper this has a very light cloud design on top although it's not visible on camera and that was two inches and then from this rainbow cardstock I'm going to cut out a slightly bigger panel so that I will end up having borders on each side of the blue one. Now on this blue panel I'm going to cut out windows I'm going for three windows here and if you don't have such a tiny square die maybe you have a circle die just cut out windows there and this is where I'm going to put inside my little rainbows later on all three windows are cut out towards the top so I do have enough space at the bottom to add my sentiment later on I'm also sticking this panel on top of a scrap piece of white cardstock so that I do have some white background on those windows and then all I'm doing is playing with the epoxy stickers I'm having those rainbows tucked inside the window and coming out and on the outside I also add a little cloud these are quite dimensional and shiny and they make a card looking extra special and if you find that they don't stick to well you can always add a dot of glue underneath I'm going to stick my window panel on top of the rainbow pattern paper making sure that I end up having a border on each side and this is already looking so adorable I'm going to place that on a standard card base that's four and a quarter by five and a half and you can have it either at the center or slide at the edge I don't like having things too standard that's why I'm going to shift it a little bit for my sentiment I went with you make me happy which I stunned with blocking and then died cut it with a banner die this will go at the bottom of my design and I love how the fishtails of this banner exit the main panel and you can leave it as it is or like I did you can even play with hearts and add even more embellishments inside the windows and the clouds so here are the two cards that I made for today showcasing the june card kit by Simon's stamp don't forget down below the description area you will find the full list of all the supplies that I used today and on my blog if you leave a comment you get a chance to win this card kit I hope that you had fun today that you got inspired thank you all so much for watching and I hope you'll all have a lovely day
