Stampin’ Up! – Rain or Shine – No Stamps! #TGIFC405

Happy Friday everyone!
It’s Friday which means another TGIF challenge. This week was a scary one when I first saw it … NO stamps? What??? But..I had a heap of fun and love how it turned out.
I had a play with the brand new Rain or Shine suite because that new Designer Series Paper that features those gorgeous critters is just too cute – no stamping required.
Are you up for the challenge? Check it out here.

There are so many cute Designer Series Paper collections, Memories & More cards and more that can easily be used to make a card – no stamping required.
I have actually combined both and used the brand new Memories & More cards for the sentiments on my card today.

Here is a look at my finished card.
Isn’t it cute? I am just obsessed with this Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper.
The background and all the cut elements on this card are cut straight from this paper. Even better? The dies coordinate!!! No fussy cutting required.
I have used the coordinating dies to also cut some cute little elements like the grass and adorable little bridge.

Here is a close up look at the finished card where you can see some of the detail.
I have added my elements onto the card with some Dimensionals to add some height and dimension.
To add some more dimension to my background, I actually cut my Designer Series Paper and took a Blending Brush and added some Balmy Blue ink to the outside. This just helped to add some extra depth.

To embellish I have spritzed some Wink of Stella and some of the gorgeous blue & gold sequins.

Do you see that sentiment? It’s a sticker – taken straight from the Enjoy the Adventure Memories & More Cards. Easy!

Here is a look at the inside of my card.
This was so simple. A couple of strips of the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and an umbrella cut out from the paper as well as another one of those gorgeous sentiment stickers.

This card was so easy and so much fun!

Be sure to go and check out this week’s challenge & play along!

I hope that you got some inspiration from today’s post.
Until next time,
Crafty hugs. xx
