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.

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

Artfully Layered birthday card with video

April 22, 2022

Here's another pretty card I made during last week's FB Live. I featured the Artfully Layered bundle from the Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.

Save

The colors include Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with White. I used three different dies in the Tropical Layers dies. The rick-rack border, the leaf and the crosshatch texture. See the bundle here.

Save

The greeting is heat embossed on the Coastal Cabana CS strip using White embossing powder. Adding heat embossing to your project steps it up a lot!

Save

Tip: get two colors from one ink pad. Note the two shades of Coastal Cabana on the leaves on the lower left of the card? I stamped off for the multiple leaves image once for a lighter hue.

The Faux Sea Glass Shapes are back in stock! Get them here.

Yesterday was my weekly Facebook Live where I shared 3 projects featuring the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June mini catalog. This cute stamp set is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. See it here.

I added all of the upcoming new In Colors to this card!

Save

The clouds are heat embossed on the Balmy Blue CS using White embossing powder. The clouds are an outline stamp but I wanted to fill them in to look 'white'. So I used my Chalk Marker to color them in and love the effect! I am so sad to report that this neat Chalk Marker was on the retiring list and is already sold out. You could use White craft ink or White chalk pastels and color it in too.

The kite is stamped on White CS using Black Memento ink and colored in with the NEW In Color Blends markers. I fussy cut it and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Save

I stamped the sun image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS using Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut it. There is not a punch or dies to coordinate with this stamp set, but I didn't mind fussy cutting the kites or sun. Easy to do!
