Make it Move! A Rainbow Birthday Card Featuring Art Impressions
Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! I have a bright and happy birthday card to share with you using the So Sweet “Armfuls” Art Impressions set. This rainbow-inspired birthday design features some ink blending, a bit of foiling with glue, and an interactive element—action wobbles!
In this project I used our Simon Says Stamp Balloon Bunch stencil to create the rainbow background—the bright hues look so good paired with the marker choices I made for the elephant’s coloring. I foiled on top of a Flashy Flare embossed background, which adds a great highlight around the rainbow panel! There are other cute embellishments such as chunky glitter on the cupcakes and clear Splash Drops that are placed around card. The sentiment I chose for this card comes from our Simon Says Stamp and CZ Design Birthday Basics set.

Did You Know? January 2025 Edition!
Hello crafters, it’s Shari Carroll here with you! I have a new edition of our popular Did You Know series today!
If it’s your first time seeing this feature, each month, we bring you fun facts, creative tips, and even crafty hacks about your favorite supplies and brands; you can then use these awesome tips that you learn in your next crafting projects! Are you ready to learn some fun tricks? Keep on reading!
January is one of the best month for organization and I have some simple suggestions to help you out.
PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING 9.5×12 SLEEVES FOR YOUR CRAFT TACKY MATS
Did you know that you can store your Craft Tacky Mats in our Pawsitively Everything cardstock sleeves? These sleeves are sturdy and can be simply modified into a folder. I like to cut the right side to create an opening to place my mat inside. The back (inside) of the sleeve has a matte finish which makes it easy to place and remove them.
Tip: Place the transparent grid or clear sheet onto the front of your mat before storing.
PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING HALF SHEET and PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING CLEAR POCKETS
We have been producing more and more embossing folders that have coordinating dies. I usually don’t keep my original packaging and have tried to stick my die to the outside of the folder to keep them together, but it never fails that they get separated. I found that putting them together in a Half Sheet sleeve is a quick and easy solution. I love the smaller Clear Pockets which are perfect for my dies with their secure fold over flap.
To keep your folders with dies together in one place, THIS acrylic crate is a great option.
PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING STORAGE BOXES
Have you been collecting the Tim Holtz Spritzes? I found they fit nicely into our Pawsitively Everything Storage Box. Each box can hold 8 spray bottles which is a manageable number when working on your projects. They can also lay on their side to help keep the mica spread throughout the length of the bottle. These are also easy to see what colors is in each box which is handy in a pinch!
Oh boy, small items can be hard to organize. I found this packet organizer fits so many different things that I use on a daily basis. It’s a stackable drawers system where the bottom of one fits right into the top of another. I was thrilled to find how well my re-inkers fit in each section. I have them stacked on a shelf and love that I can see thru the drawers and I have quick access to what I need.
I hope these tips have helped you learn a few tricks for your organizing… Thanks for tuning in today and spending some time with me!
