Welcome to the New Product Blog Hop for the May/June catalog!
There will be several of the new products featured throughout this blog hop.
You should have arrived here from Aggie's Arrows of Hope Designs. If you get lost, a list of all participants can be found on Melinda Everitt's blog.
I have a feeling that the Sunburst Background Thin Cut that I used will be used by a lot of the blog hop participants... it is a great product! It cuts out the border but you are also left with the inner pieces from the sunburst.
My intention was to create ONE rainbow card but I quickly realized that I had to cut one sunburst for EVERY colour that I wanted to use. Rather than wasting all the remaining inside pieces, I decided to create 12 cards with the rainbow colours going around the card. I had to cut 12 black outlines to insert all the coloured pieces. That process was very time consuming and there are photos below to show the process as I had all the outlines lined up and began sorting the pieces. They weren't adhered until later.
I stamped 12 sentiments from the Spot-On Sentiments stamp set - one in each of the 12 rainbow colours. Those were adhered to the circles after being die cut with a circle die. I didn't add anything else to these cards - they are busy enough as they are!
On a side note, I had adhered all the rainbow pieces down and was waiting for the stamp set to arrive... I always have a drink on my desk - and it is always sealed - except this time. Of course, I knocked it over, right on top of the pile of 12 assembled cards! I moved awfully fast to dry them off and no major damage was done. I did have to cut off two fronts and place them on another card base but I was lucky. NO MORE drinks on my desk - ever.
I hope you enjoyed my project.

Wow! Amazing cards! I love the bright colors!
These cards are bright, fun and beautiful. I love them. I am glad there wasn't any major damage from the drink, it could have been so much worse.
That is A LOT of cards! Great job.
GREAT thinking on the use of the pieces. They all look super great! Love your color choices!
Beautiful collection of cards! I have something similar on my "to try" list. Thankfully they survived - I would have been devastated.
Beautiful cards! They remind me of church stained glass windows. Lovely!
All that hard work nearly went down the 'drain'! OH MY!! Good save! I love ALL of those cards! How clever to just make them into 12.
I so am lovingvthe effect of the multi colours. On my list of things to create.
Love the colours, and yeah that is a down fall of this set unless your using scraps but not a bad downfall to have so many great cards on hand!
Your 12 cards are stunning and amazing! I am sure I'll be seeing many more cards using the frames from the cardstock colors you used in these cards. I'm looking forward to it!
omGOSH, that could have been a disaster with your drink, way to act quickly! A real treasure trove of fab cards! xoxo
These are fabulous! There are twelve lucky people out there just waiting for one of these. But now you have me questioning whether I should have my tea on my work table... LOL!
Love the rainbow of cards! So fun!
