Hi, friends! Want to make someone smile? Teri<\/a> here, and I’ll show you how to put together a couple of quick rainbow cards to pop in the mail and make the ones you love smile! Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Create a Rainbow with Pop and Dimension<\/h4>\n
\n
\"Rainbow<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Start by die-cutting a rainbow and some clouds from white cardstock. Don’t have a rainbow die? You can make rainbow bands by using nested circle dies together.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Rainbow<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Take your rainbow bands and apply color to them with markers. Flip your rainbow over and add a few strips of tape to them to hold them together. <\/p>\n

Make your rainbow pop by adding some small strips of Crafty Foam Tape<\/a> to it.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Rainbow<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Stencil a pattern onto a piece of cardstock (or use it plain), and adhere your rainbow to it. Add your clouds and a stamped sentiment.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Rainbow<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Give your rainbow an extra happy feel by adding some 3D Foam Hearts to it, as well as around it. Coat the hearts with flock or glitter!<\/p>\n

Rainbow Card with Less Pop<\/h4>\n

Worried about sending a card through the mail with a lot of bulk? You can easily make a rainbow card without any Crafty Foam Tape<\/a> or 3D Foam Hearts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Rainbow<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Change your design by adhering everything to your card with a “flat” adhesive, like Dots<\/a> or Strips<\/a>. Also, look for ways to add to the overall design. Stamped birds or butterflies in the background are a great way to do that! <\/p>\n

\n
\"Rainbow<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You can also add sequins to your clouds with Adhesive Dots<\/a>. Sequins are a great embellishment for cards because they are mostly flat and don’t add much bulk to cards! <\/p>\n

\n

I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make rainbow cards of your own!<\/p>\n

Happy creating!
