Supplies
- Assorted cardstock from CutCardStock (sunset hues, blues, greens, and white)
- Circle, cloud, hill, and sentiment dies
- Die-cutting machine
- Paper Trimmer
- Adhesive
- Clear embellishments/sequins
Create Sun Ray
Choose a mix of warm and cool cardstock shades and cut sunburst rays using your die or trimmer. I am using
I cut each ray with a paper trimmer. To start cut each piece 7/8″ wide & 3″ long. Mark the bottom of each piece at the center. Trim diagonally from the top to the center mark on each side.
Adhere the rays to a Cougar White Smooth 4″ x 5 1/4″ background panel in a fanned-out pattern to mimic the rising sun. I mark the center of the background panel to help align the rays as the photos show.
Trim the rays with the edges of the background panel.
Die cut pieces for the sun, clouds and hills using
BUILD SUN CLOUD AND HILL LAYERS
Center the circle die cut.
Add blue cloud dies starting with the darker color up top, then medium blue and light blue.
The green hill die cuts go on next.
Adhere the die cut sentiment cut from Cougar White Smooth to the bottom.
I cut a piece of Cougar White Smooth to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 5 1/2″ along the 11″ side and fold to create a top folding A2 card base.
Adhere the background panel to the card base.
EMBELLISH WITH SPARKLE
Add a few clear sequins or gems across the card front to give it a touch of sparkle and a polished finish.
