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.

  Here’s the card I featured on last week’s video. We made it at my February card clubs locally and it was a big hit!

  Save

  My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie & Basic Beige. There are two different pieces of the designer paper that’s called Nature Walk and can be seen here.

  There are lots of pieces and extra elements to this card. It was super fun to put together. That neat striped embossing folder on the extra Lost Lagoon layer is called Lovely Stripes and can be seen here. It’s one of my new favorites.

  This card is kept closed by the narrow ‘flap’ attached to the right side of the card. I added a small triangle to the DSP layer to tuck the corner into. Works great To hold that flap down!

  Save

  The flap is adhered ‘underneath’ the DSP layer inside the card. *note the other embossing folder used on the card above. It’s called Stone & Vine and is also a deeply textured folder seen here.

  There are many, many details on this card I want to highlight. Here goes:

  • The die-cut leaves and ‘wood’ piece under the greeting are from the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.
  • The die-cut leaves are cut out from our two-sided card stock. I love that you can choose the light or the dark side which gives more color choices!
  • I added Pecan Pie ink to that wood die-cut with a blending brush.
  • The greeting is from the Three Banner punch bundle seen here.

  I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click to see it.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card; I hope you watch it as I give multiple tips and ways to make your crafting process easier.
