Hello friends. The third card in my series features the Catherine Pooler Designs Joyful Thanks Sentiments Stamp Set combined with the Appley Ever After Stamp Set and the Woven Cover Plate Die. I like that the Joyful Thanks Sentiments are large and bold sentiments so they make a nice impact on your card.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I stamped the background with Samba, Cotton Candy, Lime Rickey, and Over Coffee inks using the Appley Ever After Stamp Set.

Then I die cut a piece of Vellum with the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangles to cover the top panel. I also cie cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Woven Cover Plate Die and then cut it down to 1-1/2″ in width.

I stamped the sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Joyful Thanks Sentiments Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Over Coffee Ink. Then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I finished off the card by adding some Appolonia Sequin Mix.

I left the inside of the card of the card blank and stamped an apple.

Hello friends. This little llama found his luck at the end of the rainbow! With this card I created some layers with stencils and stamps. It’s easy to do this by masking off areas. Keep reading to see how I did this…

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then cut another panel to 4 x 5-1/4″. I rounded the corners on both using We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper, 0.25″ & 0.5.

For the background, I stamped a rainbow using the Simon Says Clear Stamps RAINBOW IS MY FAVORITE COLOR and Catherine Pooler Designs Samba, Catching Rays, Lime Rickey, and Cummerbund inks. I masked off the rainbow with some post-it notes and then using the Simon Says Stamp Stencil BUILD A RAINBOW and Catherine Pooler Designs Catching Rays Ink to add a sun behind it.

I stamped the clouds from the Simon Says Clear Stamps RAINBOW IS MY FAVORITE COLOR, the llama. shamrocks and sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Wooly Lucky onto some Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I colored the images with Copic colors. I used W0, W1 & 0, R20, & C7 for the llama; G07 & G09, C7 & C9, Y15 & Y17 for the hat and bow; YG03 for the shamrocks; YG03, YG17, G07, Y15 & Y17 for the blanket; and BG000 & 0 for the clouds. I fussy cut all the images and adhered them to the card.

I added some 3M Foam Tape to the cloud in the front and finished off the card by adding sparkle to the clouds with Spectrum Noir CLEAR OVERLAY Sparkle Pen and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Metallic Bright Gold to the sun.

I left the inside of the card blank and just added some shamrocks.
