Little Rainbow Notecards...

Hi All! and a very Happy Tuesday to you! Today, I thought I would take a break from all the challenges for a change and post something just for fun.  I've been having such a great time creating with my Lil' Inkers Rainbow's & Clouds Dies and Stamps set! In fact, I have gone a bit crazy with them lol .. I have made up a bunch of really fun note card sets that I plan to give as gifts and even popped a set into my Etsy shop as well, for good measure. 8-)


I really kept these very CAS as I was making a bunch of them, but I think they still came out pretty darn cute, just the same..8-)  The other thing I really love about this fun little Dies and Stamps set is that you can use up your scraps and bits of leftover  DP's and CS, how great is that! lol  Here's a few pics of the individual cards..

These were Super easy peasy to make up and really quick too!  I used my Flourishes Classic Ivory CS to create my standard A1 ( 3 1/2" x 4 7/8") note cards to fit the A1 sized envelopes I had on hand. I ran various scraps of dp's through my CB using my Lil' Inker  Rainbow & Clouds dies and decided on my rainbow stripe's color combos. For my BG I used some scraps of left over kraft from my stash and embossed them using my CB again and the divine swirls embossing folder for a bit of texture. I popped up my fun little rainbow and clouds ensemble with a few dimensionals, stamped my Lil' Inker Sentiments with Memento Rich Cocoa directly onto my note cards and added some fun coordinating polkadot ribbon to finish them all up!  See, easy peasy... 8-)

Hope you all have a fabulous day & thanks so much for stopping in!

    These are so Cute! I love the swirl embossing on the kraft paper--perfect with the clouds. You are so good at mixing patterned paper. Using lined paper for the clouds was such a great idea! I am definitely going to have to get this set--if for nothing else but to CASE your notecards!!! Have a marvy day! ~Hugs, Cheryl
