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

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.

• 3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay

  August 5, 2021

  ---

  Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle.  Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

  I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz.  Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.

  The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut.  Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

  This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle:

• Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!

  August 4, 2021

  ---

  Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts.  She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!

  I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card.  The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows! 

  She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.

• The Pretty Pumpkins bundle slipped right by me!

  I regret not ordering the Pretty Pumpkins set after seeing what my friend Marilyn made with it.  Look at these gorgeous images!

  She made them for my New Catalog launch last week. I think they're simply beautiful and that greetings font is beautiful!!

  She made 3 cards for our display and this is the second one.  I'll share the last one soon.  

  The pretty paper is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper.  I believe she used the baby wipe technique for the left pumpkin.  For the right one she added Wink of Stella to the die-cut pumpkin.

  Again; look at the stunning font on this fabulous greeting.  I have so many friends I'd give this card to!
