Looking for fresh Stampin’ Up! card making ideas? Today, I’m sharing two uplifting cards using the Sunshine Vibes Bundle and Boho Vibes 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper. Both designs feature layered textures, vibrant rainbows, and clever die cutting techniques. Let’s dive in!
Card Making Idea #1: Die Cut Rainbow with Designer Series Paper

This cheerful card begins with a Cloud Cover card base layered with Secret Sea for contrast. I die cut a Basic White panel using the large rainbow from the Sunshine Vibes Dies, then embossed the entire piece with the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder to give it a painted, textured feel.
Tip: Always die cut first and emboss second when working on the same layer to preserve your embossed details!
To bring color into the rainbow, I added a layer of Boho Vibes Designer Series Paper behind the die-cut panel, allowing the beautiful patterns to peek through. I finished the card with a simple stamped sentiment from the Sunshine Vibes Stamp Set for a quick and easy happy mail project.
Card Making Idea #2: Using Die Cuts to Add Texture and Dimension

This design flips the color palette with a Secret Sea card base and a Basic White panel die cut and embossed just like the first card. But this time, I filled the rainbow arcs with individual pieces using colored cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, and Petal Pink.
To add depth and dimension, I cut three additional layers for each arc in Basic White and adhered them behind each colored arc. It creates a subtle shadow and makes each section pop!
A fun detail? The Sunshine Vibes Dies include two leaf dies that mirror each other, and they fit perfectly into the second largest arc. I used these to add even more texture and detail.
For embellishment, I added a sentiment and finished it off with the 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls, which coordinate beautifully with the rest of the palette.
Interior Details: Coordinated and Polished

Both card interiors are finished with a strip of matching cardstock and a layer of Boho Vibes Designer Series Paper, tying everything together and giving the inside a coordinated look!
