You Are My Sunshine Jems Blog Hop.

Hello there,
And welcome to another Jems Blog Hop Day!

Todays the theme is "You Are My Sunshine" and I have a fun card to share with you using the new Happy Birthday die *love it* to make a rainbow style card...

 To make this rainbow stack I die cut the 'Happy Birthday' several times from a selection of the 'brights' card stock, roughly in rainbow order, and then topped with a thick white card layer.
TIP 1: I used tombow to adhere the layers together. To avoid glue leaking out from the layers, use a quartered sponge to dab the glue over each layer.
TIP 2: Use a silicone mat to add the glue like this so the die cut doesn't stick to your work surface/grid paper.

 I kept the rest of the card nice and simple with a Smoky Slate background and some lovely new Bermuda Bay chevron ribbon.

 The new iridescent sequins are lovely, small and the perfect accent.

 I love this layered look to die cuts and it would work wonderfully in so many other combinations of colours!
Try out different combinations and see what works for you and your project!

Lil' Inkers Pineapple Panache Birthday Card for my Daughter!

Hello, 

Today's card is something a little bit different from me! I rarely use non-SU! products but I just love these pineapples from Lil' Inkers and their stitched edged dies too ;-) This was the card I made for my daughters 15th birthday a few weeks ago...

 I inked the pineapple in So Saffron ink then sponged the edges in Mint Macaron. The wash behind them is Blushing Bride made with my aqua painter.

 Love this gold die cut sentiment

 This gold thread is by SU! but sadly retired now :-(

 Sequin love :-)))

 She was really happy with her card, I hope you like it too?

Thanks so much for looking today,
