The Birthday Project Challenge - ROYGBIV

Despite different backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions, one thing we share that unites us and is worth celebrating is the birthday of friends and family. Recognizing the special day of someone you love with a handcrafted card straight from the heart is always a good idea and if stocking your stash with unique birthday designs is on the agenda, have we got the perfect challenge for you! 

Our monthly Birthday Project challenge features ideas for getting creative with your birthday card making. Our team is excited to share their ideas, and we’re ALL excited to see how the challenges inspire you!


Rainbows are always the right choice — especially for celebratory occasions like birthdays! While we offer a number of options in our selection of stamps and Die-namics that are a literal representation of this iconic imagery, incorporating that cheery color combo can be done in an endless variety of ways. Get creative this month and share your rainbow-inspired birthday cards with us!

MFT products are encouraged, but not required - just make sure to add rainbow colors to your birthday project to be eligible! You can enter your cards for this week's challenge in the Inlinkz Link Up at the bottom of this post.

Handmade card by Vika Salmina featuring products from My Favorite Things #mftstamps
Vika added a die cut rainbow to her card and used watercolor to add in all of the rainbow colors. The clouds on each end really help the vibrant colors stand out on her scene.

What's cuter than a collection of rainbow animals ready for a fun celebration? Laura used black ink for all of her stamped elements and created a rainbow by adding the colors to all of her safari animals.
