Happy Friday! Dana is here with a bright and sunshine-y project that’s sure to brighten your day, even if it’s snowy and dreary in your neck of the woods (like it is here)!
Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back for a TGIF post! I am sharing a set of cards that were so fun to create and left me dreaming about rainbows and sunshine… definitely something I am looking forward to during these long winter months.
I started my card by creating my card panels with the A2 Arches die set. I taped the arches together (if you haven’t cut your dies apart you can skip this step) and then ran the dies through my die cutting machine seven times to create a variety of colorful frames.
Next, I used the Arched Sentiments set to stamp my sentiments. I stamped the coordinating phrase onto the third smallest frame. Then I stamped and die cut the main sentiment on white cardstock with black ink. Once I was finished, I attached my frames and sentiments to an A2 card base.
To finish my cards, I created a variety of florals with the BotaniCuts Forget-Me-Nots die set. I then attached two or three florals to my card panels for a little added detail.

I just ordered the arches yesterday! Thanks for another beautiful idea!
Great easy idea…thanks. I am glad I already have the arches
What a wonderful idea, Dana! Your cards are sure to lighten hearts and brighten days when they arrive in the mail. So grateful for your inspiration… and so happy that I haven’t snipped apart my Arches dies yet! (I have been busy using the Arches stencils to create lovely ink blended backgrounds in my bullet journal.) Betsy, sending sunny hugs for your always lovely, innovative designs!💗
