I love the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. It makes me smile!  Sending happiness wishes is a lovely thing to do.

These cards use the gorgeous Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and dies bundle.

I’ve also used the free coordinating Sunshine and Rainbows DSP which was on offer during Saleabration Jan-Feb 2022.

Even better, the small rainbow dies fit some of the DSP designs, as does the cloud punch, also available in the Jan to July mini catalogue.

There is a video on how to make stencil rainbow cards using the large rainbow die elsewhere in the Craftalong blog.
