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.

You can see the glimmer better in this close up.

They could add greetings inside the easel if they wanted to.  We used Night of Navy ink for all greetings.

• Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

  March 18, 2026

  Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

  Save

  You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

  I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

  Save

  My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

  I used a few different products here:

  • The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
  • notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
  • And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
  • The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

  Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
