25 Feb

The best handmade cards make you smile with glimmer and glee and these cards are incredibly fun and easy to make. 

Where do you find card making inspiration?  I can be inspired by many things but strips of Rainbow Glimmer Paper caught my attention so I set out to make the best handmade cards with the scraps I had. I am giddy over these handmade cards and I hope y’all love them too!

AND the best handmade cards tutorial have more than one design idea so I have 3 more cards to share with you. The Stampin’ Up! ‘Nothing’s Better Than Bundle was my super fun bundle to demonstrate today.

Did you know I googled to see if there was such a thing as a rainbow beverage? There is! So of course, my best handmade card had to start with that inspiration! 

Best handmade cards start with a rainbow cocktail featuring the Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Cocktail stamp.
