Hi, everyone! Summer’s not quite over yet! Teri here to help you stretch the season out a little longer by making this You Brighten My Day Card. Yep, I’ll show you how to make a card with a great big sun on it!
Brighten My Day Card Panel
Layer a piece of yellow patterned paper panel onto a card base with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. If you don’t have a piece of patterned paper, make your own with inks or ink sprays like I did.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames and 3D Foam Strips
Die-cut a rectangle postage edge shape in white cardstock. Now the fun – let’s build the focal point, the sun! Take several 3D Foam Circle Frames to make one big circle…I used six circles. Next, take several 3D Foam Strips and cut them into small pieces. Place them on your postage rectangle to look like sun rays.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with white flock. How? Take off the top liner of all 3D Foam Circle Frames circles and 3D Foam Strips pieces. Cover them with flock, press to secure into the adhesive, and tap off the excess. Designer’s Note: For a sparkling option, use one of our foils like the pretty Metallic Transfer Foil in Pastel Colors.
Trim the rectangle to fit onto your card front and use 3D Foam Strips Large White to mount it onto your card.
Embellish the Sun
Let’s give your sunshine some personality by adding a mouth, a pair of wiggle eyes, and a sweet yellow bow to it. I used the Adhesive Dots Small to secure all.
Complete the Card with a Sentiment and Embellishments
Stamp a sentiment on white cardstock and place it on your card with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. Complete your card by adding a few sequins or gems to it with the Adhesive Dots Small.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to make a Summer-inspired You Brighten My Day Card of your own.
