The Umbrella Days Stamp Set features rain-themed images, including umbrellas, rain boots, and clouds, as well as heartfelt sentiments perfect for sharing your love and care. Pair these images with your favorite fun fold and color combination to transform a traditional card into a piece of art that will surely stand out on any mantle.

For this fun fold project, I used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper to set the scene. I pulled my color combination straight from the paper: Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon, and Pumpkin Pie. I thought this color combination was perfect for chasing away the rainy blues, but make sure you check out my Color Combination Library if you’d like something softer.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Fold the 4″ x 7-1/4″ at the 5-1/4″ score line. With the fold at the bottom, adhere to the Granny Apple Green cardstock to create the base of your card.
  2. Adhere the 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Bright & Beautiful Paper, Pattern #1, to the center top of the Azure Afternoon cardstock (it will be centered on the area above the fold.)
  3. Fold up the bottom of the 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Azure Afternoon cardstock and adhere the Bright & Beautiful Paper, Pattern #2, to what is the “front” flap of the card.
  4. Fold the 2-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock at the 4-1/4″ score line. With the fold at the top, adhere to the center of the 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Bright & Beautiful Paper.
  5. Adhere one of the 2-1/4″ x 4″ pieces of Basic White inside the Azure Afternoon cardstock. Tip: when you fold up the bottom of the 4″ x 7-1/4″ piece of Azure Afternoon cardstock, the outside of the 2-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece Azure Afternoon cardstock should “close” the card.
  6. Using the other piece of 2-1/4″ x 4″ Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment at the top of the card and the umbrella person underneath the sentiment using Black Memento ink.
  7. Ink up the raindrops image using Azure Afternoon ink and stamp off 2 times on your scratch paper, then stamp over the sentiment. Repeat if necessary.
  8. Color in the umbrella image using the Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to the front of the 2-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded Azure Afternoon cardstock.
  9. To finish, add a bit of Wink of Stella to the umbrella to make the umbrella glisten in the rain.
