Watercolor Rainbow Card Set_1

Hey friends! Are you as excited about the new Among the Stars release as I am??? I LOVE the new Build a Rainbow die, and I thought this would pair up great with the new Uplifting Thoughts stamp set to create some happy cards!

The Build a Rainbow die set is really versatile and there are so many ways you can use it. I ended up cutting the rainbow in half to create two cards… and I loved it so much I had to make two more! I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color in my rainbow, but you could definitely use other coloring mediums for this, or even cardstock if you are short on time or not a big fan of coloring!

You’ll see I created these rainbow scenes with a few other Simon products;, including the Happy Days die set. These dies are actually a coordinating set to the Happy Days stamp set that came out with the May 2016 card kit. However, all the shapes are really great for using on their own, which makes them a great addition to you stash, even if you do not have the stamp set! I used both the cloud and sun dies for my scene, but I could see all sorts of fun being had with all the other dies too. When you take a look at products in a creative way, and not just the obvious, you can come up with so many unique card designs!

To see how I created these happy rainbow cards from start to finish, be sure to check out the video below!

  1. As usually, I love the SSS release! I especially love the paintable prints…. so fun to sit and color while watching TV – then easily put a card together. Thanks for the chance to win!

  2. I could have sworn I commented this already but Uplifting thoughts is my favorite, as soon as I saw the “Be Brave” sentiment I thought of my daughters. Even the little globe would make an outstanding background. I’m diggin’ the bear (warm weather) also.

  3. Spreading happiness…….great sentiments from the new collection will brighten everyone’s day. What a wonderful way to send a little love.

  4. fabulous new sets.. love the stars, and kitties and ice cream and all the dies.

  6. This is a wonderful release! Many many great items included but my favorite would have to be Uplifting Thoughts. In light of the events of this past week, the stamps in this set are needed more than ever. I’m going to make cards with these beautiful sentiments & send to as many friends & relatives as I can to spread the message of kindness. Great & very timely release, SSS!

  7. It is a beautiful collection. My favorite is the Uplifting Thoughts stamps set. Those are just perfect for when you’re thinking about someone and want to say hi (without just saying Hi or Hello).

  8. This collection is amazing! I love the celestial stamps and dies,the flamingo stamp, the layered banner dies and the stars. But I think the best thing is the uplifting quote stamps. Wow! I must order it right away!

  9. The stackable items without stitching will be my new go-to! What a fun and summery collection…love how they coordinate with previous releases.

  10. Awesome, I can’t say that enough. All the thought and work out into the design and release. Love it. Can’t wait to play with them.

  11. Wow, there are so many great new products in this release. I especially love the warm weather animals set. The bear in the swim trunks is absolutely adorable!

  12. Uplifting thoughts is perfect!!! Also summertime bear is too cute!!
    Excited to see the hop tomorrow!

  13. What’s not to like about the WHOLE release?? But if I really had to choose JUST ONE, it would be the Tropical Leaves set! So On Trend right now …

  14. I LOVE the new summer-themed water-color card set!! Summer is my FAVORITE!! Most of all I love the “Uplifting Thoughts” stamp set. That’s exactly what our world needs right now – more kindness, less hate and violence.

  15. I love the new mosaic die, the background stamp and the sentiment stamp. I would love to get several sets of stitched basic die sets, but they are so expensive.
