Welcome back for Episode 3 of my Bunny Burrow series, which is part of my September Stamp Set of the Month series. This stamp set from Trinity Stamps has been so much fun to play with. I love all the critters and the burrow so much! Each week I am bringing you a slimline cared because I have also fallen in love with the entire line of slimline dies that Trinity Stamps has to offer. The slimline set I chose to highlight this week is the Rainbow Builder Slimline die set. It has a magnificent rainbow to cover a slimline card!
For this episode I really wanted to do something different with my critters. I decided to color them in rainbow colors. So I have my pink bunny, which is just adorable! The fox was easy in orange. For the yellow and green I did not have a critter I wanted those colors so I colored my burrow with a yellow door and of course green for the burrow itself. The Raccoon in blue was cuter than I thought it would be and I love it so much. But doesn't that hedgehog look like he was meant to be purple??? The exact Copic Markers that I used can see found in the video for this Episode.
The die cut rainbow in the background is the inspiration for this entire card. The Rainbow Builder Slimline die set makes me so happy! I love that it covers an entire slimline card! But you can also use pieces of it as well. All the clouds on this card are also from the Rainbow Builder die set. I love that I can use the clouds on their own with out the rainbow. The tree and grass are from the Great Outdoors Borders and Builders Slimline die set. Like I said, Trinity has some amazing slimline die sets!!!
For the inside of this card I pulled out the Mouse House and Frappy Camper Perking Spot stamp sets for an additional scene. I love that a slimline card gives you that extra space on the inside so that you can continue the fun on into the card.
The outside and inside sentiments (besides Perk Up) are from the Happy Senti Mini stamp set. The Perk Up sentiment is from the Frappy Camper set. I only glued this grassy border down by putting glue on the very bottom edge that way I can tuck a gift card into the grass for a coffee treat.
This month I am challenging myself to create something cute to go with each of my cards. So this week I played around with all my left over die cut rainbow pieces. Because when you cut with the large rainbow die you will get seven rainbow pieces. You have to die cut the entire die from each of the colors you want in your rainbow. Or from white card stock and then color each white piece the color you want for your rainbow. I chose to do colored card stock. In my video I will show you what I did to use my left over rainbow pieces, so I did not waste any of them. But now on to the cute thing I made.
You can see this rainbow starts with purple. That is my tip, put the rest of your rainbows together, starting with a different color but still going in rainbow order. You might have noticed that in each episode I am using my fuse tool to create my cute thing. This time I wanted to make a shaped shaker tag with one of my left over rainbows. The shaker elements arePuddle Jumping Raindrop Confetti, from Trinity Stamps. Trinity also has the most amazing embellishments and super fun things for my shaker cards!
Fusing this shaped tag was much trickier than doing something with straight edges. I have 5 tips for fusing in this weeks episode, sharing what I learn with you as I learn it.
Be sure to watch the making of this card and tag in the video below so you can see the Rainbow Builder die set in action as well as my tips for Fusing. If you do not see the video below you can also watch it here.
