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!

Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch.

Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July! But you can still order it right now. I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.

Today is the last day for the 36% off promotion! Plus Elegantly Said bundle & punch tips!

May 31, 2021
Today is the last day to get in on the Starter Kit promotion seen here. If your wish list is larger than $99 it only makes sense to choose this option.

Don't think of it as a commitment, but as an opportunity to get your SU products at a discount while you can. When you're done ordering what you want you can stop. That's it! Simple and smart.
- Your first $300 in orders isn't 'due' until the end of September. And we have the Holiday catalog AND Sale-a-Bration to order from in August. It starts for customers in September but one of our favorite Demonstrator perks is pre-ordering from NEW catalogs a month earlier than everyone else.
- Another thing you might not know is that our $300 minimum order amount is retail; not discounted price. So we're really spending just $240 to stay active and enjoy the discount. All orders, yours or your friends all count.
- There's no need to sell or hold classes unless you'd like to.
