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!

Easy way to make a 3 panel card with the Friendly Hello Bundle

January 11, 2022
I shared this pretty card on last week's FB Live. It features the new Friendly Hello bundle. The stamp set AND the 12 X 12" Designer Paper is free with any $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

These pretty colors include Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White. I colored in the bird, flowers & leaves with Stampin' Blends markers.

My top favorite thing about Stampin' Up! is our coordinating colors. The fact that everything matches & coordinates so effortlessly takes so much work out of the creative process! I used to struggle so much to get things to match before I 'met' Stampin' Up!

Measurements:
- Pool Party card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, White 4” X 5 ¼”
- Evening Evergreen 2 7/8” X 1 ¾”.
- DSP 3 pieces 1 3/4” X 5”, 1 7/8” X 3”, 1 7/8” square
I stamped one of the images onto the edges of my inside layer; almost like a frame. Love this added detail!

3 ideas with the Friendly Hello bundle with video & measurements

January 10, 2022

I featured the Friendly Hello bundle on last week's Facebook Live. One of the projects is this 'latch fold' card. Click here to get to my page & I hope you'll follow me too.

It's normally called a Joy Fold card but I added the flowers on the lower left as a latch to hold it closed. I like it when a fun fold card stays flat and doesn't pop open on it's own.

The color combination is Pool Party with Fresh Freesia. I think it's soft & springy; which we sorely need right now in North Dakota. It's super color the last few weeks with more snow than I like!

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.

I stamped the left flap of the card with the double flower image instead of texturing it. I like the tone on tone stamping. It adds detail without getting 'busy'.

I added the new Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers. Love these so much! I'm actually gifting a package away to everyone who places an online order over $50 this month. See them here.

Calming Camelia 2 ways with video!

January 7, 2022

Today I'm hosting my Spring Launch & BOGO Bash event! If you're local to me in Minot, ND stop in! It's from 3-6 pm. I guarantee it will be worth coming! I'll have yummy treats & hot cocoa, great BOGO selection, tons of samples and door prizes too!

~~~

On one of my weekly FB Live's I played with the Calming Camelia stamp set from the new 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog. See it here. I'm so excited it's SAB time!!

Save

I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade. After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also.

Save

The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog.

Which layout do you prefer? Vertical or horizontal?

This pretty stamp set is free to hosts during January & February with an order over $300. You probably think that's way too large of an order. But there is a way around that! Here are a few ways:

1. Gather with a few friends and place your order together so you can earn it free. See it here.

2. Or contact me here for a host code just for you and a few friends. Each of you orders using the host code and the orders count together towards Host benefits. You'll get this stamp set free AND $36 in free product as well!

You can see the video below; I share a few projects as well as some beautiful Swedish stars!
