I’ve got a really cute and colorful rainbow card project to share today as part of the brand new April release for Pinkfresh Studio!
When I saw this Color Block Rainbow die, my heart may have fluttered with joy and I new I could make a very clean and simple card for my bestie. And actually, because I have two besties, I had to get creative with the leftovers for a second card.
The cool thing is, you can make several rainbow cards once you have all of your colors cut out!
Here is my video showing you how I created the first card, with a peek at the second one made from the leftovers.
Thanks for stopping by! Now, onto the hop!

Cathy, there are literally six items you used on that card that I have discovered I NEED. I have been looking for a set of die cut words that included both the background and the text that weren’t a stamp and I have been thinking of getting a rainbow as well. This one is perfect! I am always looking for a good set of sentiment stamps and that glue holder thingamajig would be perfect on my table. The giveaway is a great opportunity and the free shipping code is excellent!!! Thanks for sharing on this hop, I loved both of your cards!
