Rainbow of Happiness Easel card with video tutorial

The other card we made at my February card clubs was this bright rainbow easel card. We have so many wonderful rainbow themed products right now.

Details:

• The rainbows and small clouds are die-cut using the Rainbow dies (currently unavailable through March 28th). 
• The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here). 
• The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly! 
• The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
• The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order. 
• They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins. 
• The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  

Have you noticed this gorgeous glimmery specialty paper in the annual catalog?  It's perfect for rainbows & that touch of glitter.

• Check out these Team Swaps!

  March 24, 2026

  The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

  First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

  Save

  She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

  I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

  ~~~

  Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

  Save

  Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card from Kim.

  Save

  She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

  Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

• Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

  March 23, 2026

  ---

  I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

  Save

  I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

  It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

  That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.
