COLOR PALETTE
There are 17 beautiful colors in the Rainbow Splash line. You can pick out a rainbow of these dye-base ink pads to get you started if you want to give it a try, I would also recommend getting a matching reinker when you are ready for the colors that you choose.
For today's card I decided to use the rainbow of colors below:
RAINBOW SPLASH INKS
The full rainbow looks like this!
They are also available as set with their matching reinkers!!!
I swatched each of the inks onto white cardstock tags so could get to know the colors better. They are lush and GORGEOOUS!
RAINBOW SPLASH CARDSTOCK
If you like the pretty inks, you will be just as happy to know that Rainbow Splash offers matching/coordinating cardstock!
A rainbow pack is a great way for you to get the brighter colors!
RAINBOW SPLASH EMBOSSING FOLDERS
Embossing folders press designs and texture into paper and are a great shortcut to a fantastic card:
Note: I also inked the red and blue embossed papers after embossing to show what it looks like when you highlight the raised designs with ink.
The embossing folders will be included in the I WANT IT ALL collection!
RAINBOW SPLASH GEM STICKERS
A bling addict like me is super excited about the gems in the Rainbow Splash line. I think about these little darlings as jewelry for your cards!
PICTORIAL GUIDE
STAMPING
Trim white cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Use a ruler to draw a straight line in pencil about 1/4" from the bottom of the cardstock
Using a stamping block or a MISTI, stamp the "Crayon" image from the Schoolhouse Messages Stamp Set in an even brown across the bottom of the white cardstock, starting with the Crimson Ink Pad and continuing with each color shown, finishing with the Sea
Stamp the "Checkmark" and "Proud of You" sentiment, also from the Schoolhouse Message set using the Black Ink Pad across the top
Trim stamped cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5" and attach foam dots to the back.
Stamp "A+" onto white cardstock in Grass Ink
If die-cutting, use the matching circle outline die from the Schoolhouse Messages Stamp Set to frame to stamp image and then run though a die-cutting machine. If cutting by hand, use a scissors to cut out the circle
Attach a foam dot to the back
DRY EMBOSSING
Trim Scarlet cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Place inside the Twinkling Stars Embossing Folder
Run the embossing folder through a die-cutting machine
ASSEMBLY
Apply glue to the back side of the embossed cardstock and adhere to your folded card base
on the stamped layer, remove the backing from the foam dots/tape and adhere to the embossed layer
attach the "A+" cut-out
EMBELLISHING
Use a rule to guide your placement of the large Gem stickers in a row on the "Crayons"
Aren't these inks yummy?
The little green A+ looks so cute to me!
Oooh the bling makes this even more special!
I hope you will give this one a try. It's a fun card to make!
Is there such a thing as Rainbow Happy? If so, I am definitely that. I hope you will be too as you get to know the Rainbow Splash line!

The idea behind encouragement cards is a simple but meaningful way to recognise the importance of learning and positive support. Small messages can make educational experiences feel more personal and motivating, especially when people are working toward new skills. In professional education, resources such as nec moodle can provide a structured way to explore specialist contract topics. The College of Contract Management also reflects the value of accessible learning for ongoing development.
Anyone researching nvq level 6 site management can consider exploring the College of Contract Management as a source of online professional education. Its learning resources may be suitable for individuals who want to study construction-related subjects and continue working towards their career goals. Discussions around construction education can also encourage professionals to share experiences and consider different routes for career development. People working in construction often look for ways to strengthen their knowledge and prepare for new professional challenges. Developing skills in communication, organization, supervision, and project coordination can help broaden your understanding of what effective site management involves.
I was going through some academic discussion threads and noticed how often students struggle with coursework, especially when the requirements start getting more complex than expected. Someone casually mentioned Assignment help in UK in the middle of the thread, and it made sense because sometimes you just need a different explanation style to understand things properly. Academic writing itself isn't impossible, but it does feel demanding with structure and referencing, so even a small mistake can throw off the whole submission. I keep running into issues where I understand the topic but fail when putting it into a proper format, especially with citations and argument flow. It gets a bit frustrating when formatting takes longer than writing the content itself. Still,…
For this reason, site management remains an important topic among professionals seeking practical industry knowledge. Strong organizational skills continue to support successful project delivery. The College of Contract Management is often included in conversations surrounding career-focused learning. Across many construction environments, effective communication helps reduce delays and improve coordination between different teams. Site leaders frequently oversee daily activities while ensuring work aligns with project objectives.
