"Make It Rain: Stunning Card Tutorial with the Umbrella Days Bundle and Clear Embossing Technique"

 Hi Friends!

If you’ve been searching for the perfect rainy-day card idea, look no further! Last week on my Facebook Live, I shared how to create a stunning handmade card using the Umbrella Days bundle and the beautiful Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. But the real star of the show? A fabulous technique for creating realistic rain using clear embossing powder. Trust me, this card is a showstopper!

This project highlights the magic of embossing, turning simple designs into textured works of art. With clear embossing powder, I was able to mimic the look of raindrops glistening against a stormy background. It’s one of those techniques that’s surprisingly easy to do but delivers maximum impact—your friends and family won’t believe you made this yourself! Combine that with the versatile Umbrella Days bundle and the dreamy patterns of the Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, and you’ve got a card that’s equal parts elegant and heartwarming.

The Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper was the perfect companion for this project, with its soft tones and elegant patterns bringing out the best in the Umbrella Days bundle. The combination is a match made in crafty heaven! And don’t even get me started on the sentiments—uplifting, heartfelt, and perfect for sending a little love, no matter the weather.

To make crafting a breeze, I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial that walks you through the entire process. From achieving that rain effect to perfectly layering your cardstock, I’ll show you every tip and trick to bring this design to life. And for those who love to plan ahead, don’t miss the graphic I’ve shared with a full supply list and measurements. It has everything you need to gather your materials and start creating with confidence.
