Crafty with Caly: C9 Rainbow Stitches and Strings
Hi friends! Happy Saturday, and thanks for stopping by our blog today! Please join me in welcoming back special bi-monthly guest Caly Person in the latest edition of our Crafty with Caly blog series! Be sure to watch the video for all the details and enjoy!
Hi, Friends! It’s Caly with you today sharing a rainbow card using the Concord & 9th Rainbow Stitches and Strings set! I love yarn/string wrapped rainbows and have made them – check out the video if you want to see what those look like! The dies from the Rainbow Stitches and Strings set mimic the look, but I couldn’t help but wrap it anyway.
If you’re interested in seeing how it’s done, I have a quick video to share with you!

I die-cut the rainbow bands using C9 cardstock, ink-blended it give it some shading, then wrapped the top bands with matching embroidery floss. The coordinating C9 cardstock and ink colors used today are Grapefruit, Buttercup, and Sea Glass. I used a bit of Wheat ink on the fringes too. I made a second card showing you what it looks like without embroidery floss too.
What do you think? Which one do you like better? With or without floss? It’s fussy with the floss, but I think it adds a lot of interest. I added foam adhesive between the bottom and top bands to give it lots of dimension, then I added the fringe at the bottom of the rainbows.
Before adding the rainbow to a card panel, I stamped the sentiment first over cream cardstock.
I finished by attaching this panel to a card base. Super clean and simple, in my opinion, but the rainbow gives so much texture and color and I love how it turned out. I hope you like it too!!! Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly

Hello! It’s Caly with you today, sharing a card for Lawn Fawn! The summer release includes tropical-themed stamps and dies and I’m using a few of them today for a fun interactive card.
I used images from the Toucan Do It stamp set and colored them using Copic markers. I stamped the branch and the toucan ready to take flight on a whole panel for the Magic Iris opening and the rest of the images on a separate panel to die-cut later for my card. To avoid masking, I colored the area around the toucan and branch using Copic markers as well to match the background that I create next.
- Reds: R20, R30, R32, R35, R37
- Oranges: YR20, Y32, YR12, YR15
- Yellows: Y11, Y15
- Grays: C5, C6, C8, C10
- Browns: E21, E23, E25, E27
- Greens: YG06, YG09
- Blues: [B000, B01, B04], [B91, B95, B97]
- Purples: V01, V05
My card also features new products including the Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On Dies and the Tropical Vine Border Dies. I used Lawn Fawn Cilantro cardstock on both and ink-blended them with Wild Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.
For the Magic Iris Add-On panel, I ink-blended Seedless Preserves, Mermaid Lagoon, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks. I then die-cut the panel and adhered the Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On frame over the opening using foam adhesive for dimension.
After creating the Magic Iris mechanism, all I had left to do was adhere the ink-blended background panel over it and attach the accessory images to create my scene. I hope you like it! I love that the iris opening reveals another toucan friend! Thanks for visiting! ~Caly
