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!

Last of 3 ideas with the Friendly Hello Sale-a-Bration bundle; treat box & video

January 13, 2022

I've been sharing the projects I made on last week's FB Live and this is the last one. It's a pretty treat box that's actually quite easy to make.

Save

The box above features Pool Party, White & Black colors with a bird & flower accent. The one below is in Fresh Freesia with Pool Party accents.

Save

Here are both together. I used the same stamps & Designer paper but look how different they are! Black glittered ribbon vs sheer Pool Party ribbon also makes a difference in the overall look.

Save

Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle. It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022. It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase. Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.

And here is the template & measurements. Watch the video here or click below to see how to make it from start to finish.

Here's what the box looks like open. You can fit quite a few small treats inside. This would be perfect for a Valentine's treat box too.

Below is the video for three projects using this beautiful FREE bundle. This box is the last project I share.
