A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

  Each card is a unique fancy fold; showing off the fun patterns in the Sweetest Christmas designer paper. 

  I have a limited supply of this pre-cut kit as the Adhesive-backed sequins are unavailable right now; luckily I ordered some before they ran out. So be sure to order this ASP if you want it. 

  This kit to go includes the PDF tutorial, the 10 card pre-cut cards kit, a share of the Sweetest Christmas designer paper, green 3/8" ribbon and Adhesive-backed sequins plus 10 envelopes. 

  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list.  You'll use the measurements in it to cut your new designer paper; everything else is cut, die-cut or punched for you.  

  Click here to get the kit to go.

  Did you know that my Paper Pumpkin subscribers get a ton of alternate ideas every single month?!  So if it's tags like this month, you can look forward to receiving fabulous card ideas, treat projects and possibly a scrapbook layout too! Subscribe here.

  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.  Choose from 1, 3 or 6 month plans.   

  Here's one of my alternative idea for the Ho Ho Ho kit.  I used one of the die-cut pieces in the kit to sponge snowflakes onto the card base.  Almost all of the rest of it is from the kit!  It's so fun to play with the elements and come up with something new.

• Sweet Candy Canes card; unique Christmas color combo

  November 4, 2022

  Hey; I can add photos today!  Here's a project from my stamp a stack class we held last weekend.  

  It features the Sweet Candy Canes bundle seen here.

  The colors are Real Red & Coastal Cabana.  I used the Timber 3D embossing folder for the background texture; stamping the leaves before embossing. 

  The greeting piece is a simple rectangle but I rounded the ends with a circle punch!
