There is a new fun cover plate design coming out in the new Catherine Pooler Designs Summer Nights release and I couldn’t resist creating a fun and colourful card with it. This easy rainbow die-cut card would also be a great basis for a kid’s birthday card! Of course, you could easily make a more selective colour scheme with the Capture the Flag Cover plate die, or even shades of the same colour hue and add some beautiful florals over the top to create a stunning card. I’ve also got a card using the leftover from the die-cutting along with the fun whimsical butterflies in the new Night In-Flight stamp set.
New release from Catherine Pooler is available on 5th May 2022. or if you're a stampnation member the 4th of may.

Start off by die-cutting the Capture the Flag Cover plate die out of white card. Keep all of the triangles and place them back into the die as this makes it easier for you to create a rainbow background. Start from the top and take each triangle die-cut in turn and use the direct to paper inking method in rainbow order to colour the card.

The colours used to create this rainbow background are as follows: Flirty Fushia, Party Dress, Samba, Tutti Frutti, Limoncello, Melon Ice, Mardi Gras, Aquatini, Something Borrowed and Drive-in.
Use the outline die-cut to help position the triangles onto a white card base, foam mounting the triangles to give more dimension. Add a stamped sentiment from the Night In Flight stamp set and add it to the front of the card. Lastly, embellish with a variety of sequins from the following sequin mixes: Portland, Pierre, and Park Avenue.

using leftover die-cut pieces!
For this card, we use the die-cut outline from the previous card to make a background. First ink blend a soft background with the following colours in this order from the bottom right to the top left of the card: Melon Ice, Lime Rickey, Suede Shoes, Drive-In, Grape Crush.

Trim the panel down and add the white die-cut from the Capture the Flag Cover plate die with glue over the top of the panel. Stamp a selection of butterflies from the Night In Flight stamp set in matching colours to where you want to place the image. You can multi-ink the stamps with more than one colour for variation.
Use the coordinating Night In-Flight dies to cut the images out to add to the front of the card. The sentiment uses a black and white die-cut using the Just Thanks die, offset slightly with one another to create a shadow. Lastly, embellish the card with clear drops.
