Very Best Occasions Rain or Shine

 Greetings!

The Rain or Shine Designer Series Papers (DSP) feature so many adorable critters playing in the rain.  Many of the animals are shown in multiple skin (fur) colors and have shirts and accessories in more than one color.  This is great for using two or more of the same character on a card, yet they are all a little different, just like we are. 😊

The papers are designed with some of the creatures sized to be cut out using the coordinating Playing in the Rain dies.  This is a welcome feature as the coloring is already done, so all you have to do is die cut them out and put them on your card.  There are additional animals that are sized perfectly to punch out with the Decorative Circle punch, which is what I did for this card.  Punching out a couple of the beautiful prints included in this DSP makes for a quick, easy, adorable card.


Isn't he the cutest little dancing dog!  The Loose Daisy embellishments that are also part of this Rain or Shine collection are such a fun accent, and the Dots & Spots die is a great way to elevate the background panel from plain to fun.  This die cuts out the little holes allowing the base color to peak through.  Fun, fun!

Here's How It's Made:

Die cut Basic White panel with Dots & Spots die.  Adhere to Smoky Slate folded card front.

Punch out little dancing dog, and both prints from DSP using the Decorative Circle punch.  Ink "You're the best ever!" with Basic Gray, stamp onto splatter print circle.  Adhere all three to card front at angle from upper left to lower right, using Stampin' Dimensionals, with center circle overlapping the other two.

 


Adhere a few Loose Daisy embellishments with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I chose to carry the outside look to the inside.


Ink message (which is also from the Very Best Occasions stamp set) with Basic Gray, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, punch with Decorative Circle punch.  Choose a couple prints from the Rain or Shine DSP and adhere, with message in the middle.
