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!

Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!

May 27, 2022

We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.

I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it. See it here or scroll down to watch it below.

That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here. I love these dies!!

As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need.

See the Sweet Songbird bundle here. The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out. They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).

Measurements:
• Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches

Tea Boutique card with a pocket for a tea bag of gift card!

May 26, 2022
Yesterday I shared the cute tea bag gift box below on the right. Today I'll share details on the pretty card on the left.

Both projects feature the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer paper seen here.

The card is an easy fun fold where the card base is a quarter sheet of Fresh Freesia card stock. The Garden Green piece is the part that opens and reveals the tea bag. Of course the tea bag is optional and would work as a gift card holder also.

- Garden Green 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”

This tea bag gift box is so cute! It's about 3" X 4 1/2" and quite easy to make. I used the Cup of Tea bundle seen here for the stamped images and die-cuts.

Save

The Tea Boutique designer series paper seen here includes all of our newest in colors so it's bright and colorful. I chose to use Parakeet Party for the main box and accents of Fresh Freesia, Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis.

Save

Here's a picture of the inside. There are two pieces of designer paper scored every 1/2" for the sides and card stock dividers between each fold for a tea bag.

I used a new punch called the Lasting Label punch for the top corner detail. I share how in the video; you'll look at your punches in a whole new way!
