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

September 22, 2025

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.

I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!

I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received. It's called Spooky Treats. I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit. I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

September 28, 2022
We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September. I love the bright colors paired with Black!

Save

The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black. As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms. And inside the card is a single apple.

The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog. The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion. See them here.

All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet. I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

Save

This card fold is super simple. Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.
