Brighten Someone’s Day: Creating a Get Well Soon Card with The Rabbit Hole Designs

 Hello, crafty friends! Rick here today, writing for The Rabbit Hole Designs blog. I'm thrilled to share a colorful and heartwarming get well soon card using the fabulous Pinwheel Stencil and Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set & Dies from The Rabbit Hole Designs. This cheerful project is perfect for brightening someone’s day with a burst of vibrant color and heartfelt sentiment.


Let’s start with the background, where the Pinwheel Stencil takes center stage. I began by placing the stencil over a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of White 80 lbs Cardstock and secured it with low tack tape. This ensures the stencil stays in place while we work on the design.

Here’s a handy trick: lightly trace the stencil pattern with a pencil before adding color. This step makes it easier to stay within the lines. After tracing, I removed the stencil and used my alcohol markers (from my stash) to fill in the traced areas. I chose a range of colors to create a beautiful, blended effect within each section of the pinwheel design.

Pro Tip: For smooth blending, start with the lightest color and gradually add darker shades. This helps create a seamless transition between colors.


To add definition to the design, I placed the stencil back over the colored areas and traced it again with an alcohol safe black pen. This step enhances the detail and makes the pinwheel design pop. After removing the stencil, I trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5 1/4". This slight reduction in size allows for a nice border when mounted on the card base.

Next, I cut a strip of Vellum Cardstock about 1 3/4 to 2 inches wide and wrapped it around the card front, securing it with strong adhesive. The vellum adds a soft, elegant touch without overshadowing the colorful background. I then mounted the entire panel onto a slightly larger piece of black cardstock and adhered it to an A2 top folding card base.

Pro Tip: Use a bone folder to ensure the vellum adheres smoothly and doesn’t create any bubbles or wrinkles.


The Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set & Dies are perfect for adding a heartfelt message. I stamped the “Get Well Soon” sentiment onto a scrap of  White Cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink, which gives a crisp and clear impression. I used the coordinating die to cut out the sentiment and created dimension by cutting three additional layers from scrap cardstock (from my stash). Stacking these behind the stamped sentiment gives it a sturdy, chipboard-like feel, making it stand out beautifully.

To finish off the card, I added some Matte White Enamel Dots around the sentiment for a bit of embellishment. These little dots add a subtle yet impactful detail. Lastly, I used a White Gel Pen (from my stash) to add highlights to the colored pinwheel design, adding a touch of whimsy and bringing the whole design together.

Pro Tip: When adding highlights, think about where the light would naturally hit your design. This small detail can make a big difference in making your card look polished and professional.


I hope you enjoyed learning about this cheerful get well soon card. The combination of the Pinwheel Stencil and the Sentimentally Speaking Stamps & Dies from The Rabbit Hole Designs makes for a delightful project that’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Don’t forget to experiment with different color combinations and make this design your own.


Happy crafting, everyone!

Just Because card with the Paisley Bandana Stencil

Hello friends. Carrianne here. I am so happy to be back on The Rabbit Hole Designs Blog! Today, I would like to share with you a card featuring the newly released Paisley Bandana Layering Stencil. This set contains two 6 x6 stencils that are easy to layer together. 


I started with an A2-sized panel of lavender colored cardstock. I inked blended two shades of purple, creating a fun paisley background. I adhered it to my card base with glue at an angle to create a fun design. I turned it over and trimmed the excess material from the edges with my craft scissors.

Pro Tip: When trimming the edges of a card, always start from the backside by flipping it over. This will prevent cutting the card base and make sure the cut is clean.


The Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set and coordinating dies are also from the new release. I stamped the sentiment in purple ink, cut it with the matching die, and then popped it up on foam dots for dimension. I added purple sequins to complete the card.


Thank you so much for dropping in with me today! Have a Fantastic day!

Missing You with Candy Twist

Hello friends! Welcome back to the blog. Today's card features the new Candy Twist Stencil and Sentimentally Speaking stamp set and coordinating dies.

I created the background using pink and yellow dye inks and the Candy Twist Stencil on a gelli plate. I trimmed the panel down with the middle frame from the You've Been Framed die set. I cut the Sunshine Die (also from the You've Been Framed die set) into the panel and then "highlighted" the sun by partiallly stenciling with the Candy Twist Stencil in yellow. I blended blue dye ink around the edges of the panel. Before adhering the panel to an A2 card base I lightly blended the Candy Twist Stencil on the card base. The sentiment is from the new Sentimentally Speaking stamp set.

Thanks for visiting!

Sparkle and Shine! It's your Birthday!

 

Hello crafty friends!  Jenn here with a fun and sparkly Birthday card!   I wanted to try stenciling on a piece of fine glitter cardstock.  I thought it would be interesting to see the sparkle through the stenciled colors.

I am using The Rabbit Hole Designs' new Paisley Bandana 2 Layer stencil paired with the Happy Scripty Word and Shadow Layer dies, the Birthday Scripty Word with Shadow Layer die, and the Matte White Enamel Dots.  I created a frame using the You've Been Framed dies.  
On a piece of 6"x6" snow white glitterstock from my stash, I am use the Cottontail Blending Brushes with Distress Oxide inks randomly stenciled with Cracked Pistachio, Dusty Concord and Picked Raspberry with the Layer #2 stencil. I let it dry for five minutes and then positioned the Layer #1 stencil and randomly inked it with Rusty Hinge and Uncharted Mariner. I am pleased with the results!
I ink blended the same ink colors on a piece of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" white cardstock.  I added flecks of white gold watercolor and red gold watercolor to the ink blended panel. While it dried, I die cut Happy and Birthday twice from white cardstock  and glued the 2 layers together. I die cut the Happy and Birthday from the ink blended panel making sure to use all the ink blended color bands. I glued the ink blended words to the white layers.
I cut the 6"x 6" stenciled glitterstock to a 5 1/4" x 4 " card front. I nested and die cut the small and medium frames (from the You've Been Framed dies) and cut them from white cardstock. I centered and glued the frame to the card front.  I positioned the Happy Birthday sentiment in the frame and glued it into place. Using the Bitty Blending Brushes, I colored the Matte White Enamel Dots with the Distress Oxide inks.  After letting them dry, I added the colored Enamel Dots to the card front and attached it to an A2 green cardbase.

Lucky To Have A Friend Like You

Good morning, crafty friends. It's Carrianne here sharing more inspiration, featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs Pinwheel Stencil from their latest release.


To create this fun background, I began by using an A-2-sized panel of watercolor paper. I decided on a favorite color combination, pink and yellow, and began inking the Pinwheel 6x6 stencil. I then spritzed water over the entire stencil, flipped it over, placed it on top of the panel, and firmly pressed it with a cloth. I removed the stencil and was delighted with the outcome. A smaller rectangle was cut from vellum and attached to the panel with glue.


The sentiment is from the Friend 3x4 Stamp Set. I stamped it on black cardstock and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I also used the coordinating die set, Friend - Scripty Word Die Set. I cut Friend and the shadow die from white cardstock and adhered them together with glue and attached it to the panel on foam strips for dimension. I finished the card with clear sequins. 


Thank you for dropping in with me today! Have a Fantastic day!

Make a Wish - a new interactive birthday card surprise!

How crafty friends, Jenn here with an bright and cheery interactive birthday card featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs'  Pinwheel stencil and Sentimentaly Speaking stamp set with coordinating dies both from the June Release. I paired it with the Cupcake image from the Year 4 Birthday stamp set.

TRHD Supply List
Year 4 Birthday stamp set 

Other Supplies
Candle Light Pear Blossom Press 
World's Best Foam Tape 
Zero Centered Ruler 
OLO Markers
Distress Oxide inks 
White Embossing Powder
Using the Cottontail Blending Brushes I blended the Pinwheel  background on a piece of 4" x 5 1/4 Oceanside cardstock using Salvaged Patina, Salty Ocean, and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide inks.  I am using the new Candle Light interactive blow-out candle by Pear Blossom Press to create the interactive component.  The cupcake image is colored with OLO Markers. The sentiment is created by treating a piece of Sweet Pea cardstock with the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool. The sentiment is the word Birthday and Wishes is heat embossed with white embossing powder and then die cut with the coordinating dies.
I positioned the cupcake image and Candle Light on the card front to locate the placement. I use a no-photo blue pencil to mark important areas, 1) where the candle flame will light up and 2) the hole needed for the action to blow out the candle flame. I glued the cupcake  onto the card front with liquid glue. I created a die placement template by die cutting the top 1/2 of the small flame (from the PB Press Stamp & Die set) onto a small piece of scrap cardstock This template helps to position the tiny flame die in place. I secure the die with low tack tape and die cut the flame.
 I punched a small hole in the right side of the candle for the small activator to turn off the light. Turning the card front over to the backside, I glue a small piece of yellow vellum over the flame. I lined up the candle light and created a double thick foam channel to slide the light into position. I removed the release paper and cover the channel with a piece of cardstock.  This channel allows the candle to slide into position and helps guide the air you blow at the candle light to extinguish the candle flame.
I framed out the card with The World's Best Foam Tape. I also creating a door opening in the pink card base allowing you to change the battery if needed.  I use a zero centered ruler and the blue pencil to mark the location for the hidden door. 
After die cutting the hidden door, I removed the release paper from the foam tape and centered the card front onto the card base.  I folded a small bit of washi tape over the bottom flap of the door for easy battery changing access.
I stamped the words "press here" in black ink over the candle''s on button.  I typed and printed out the sentiment "blow out your candle". It is ink blended it in pink ink and glued to the card front.

Best Wishes - Candy Twist Stencil

Hi friends, Carrianne here. I'm thrilled to be back on the blog and sharing this delightful card featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs Candy Twist Stencil and Sentimentally Speaking Stamp with their coordinating dies. Have I mentioned how much I love stencils? I really love the simplicity and ease of creating cards with them. The result is always fabulous, and they do all the work with little effort. 


For the background, I used the Candy Twist Stencil on an A-2 size white panel and inked it with Distress Oxide Inks, Spiced Marmalade, and Twisted Citron using my Cottontail Blending Brushes. I cut the panel using the You've Been Framed Dies and adhered it to a lime green card base. 


I stamped the sentiment from Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set with Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder on black cardstock and cut it with the matching dies. I adhered it to the panel with foam dots for added dimension. The card was finished with black sequins and a few stars. 


Thank you so much for dropping in with me today! Have a Fantastic day!
