“Screen time” in our house has officially become a problem. We restrict it to what feels, to me, like a normal-ish amount – half an hour of TV at night, maybe an hour of educational-type computer games over the course of the day, and a half an hour of garbage (Angry Birds, etc) – but it’s...

I used the new CZ Design/Simon Says Stamp Archie Jr. Solid letters, from the latest Simon release, Blossoms and Butterflies, to make a couple rainbow cards!!... Can I just say, I LOVE THESE LETTERS!!! They are small and the font is sweet...they are PERFECT for making longer words....I really love them!!! I die cut white fun foam to layer these die cut letters, another thing that makes these letters SO easy to create with(I die cut the whole alphabet several times to have extra letters)... I die cut the colored letters from paint chips...when making a rainbow with this many colors, paint chips make it easy to have lots of colors, and to have little pieces...for little letters. I adhered the paint chip letters to the fun foam die cut letters, and adhered them to striped paper, then popped up the card panel on top and bottom of the sentiment. I added a couple die cut hearts for some happy love. Here's a close up... The second one, a thank you card, done just like the first... I used a piece of striped, rainbow, Lawn Fawn paper, that I cut from a diagonally striped paper piece, making the lines horizontal(I LOVE this paper!). I added strips of black paper on the top and bottom for definition. What is super cool about using paint chips for these fun die cut letters, you can match the letters to the patterned paper! I don't know about you, but I don't always have cardstock that exactly matches the patterned paper that I use in cardmaking, so in this instance...Paint chips...PERFECT!!! Here's a close up... I may have said it before, but worth repeating...I LOVE these letters!! So much fun, cards that say it all simply with a sentiment!!! Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
