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!

Two February Card kits; first is the serenely beautiful Sand & Sea

February 4, 2021
Here are the beautiful set of cards featuring the Sand & Sea suite for my February cards kit to go.

Save

Each month I create a unique cards kit around a group of current Stampin' Up! products. You receive around $20 in products and it costs just $28 with the pre-cut kit and PDF tutorial!

Besides the pre-cut supplies for 10 cards (including the punched and die-cut pieces) you'll receive the following:
- 1/2 pkg of Sand & Sea designer paper (6" X 12")
- Blushing Bride & White twine
- a share of new Opal round gems
- a share of adhesive die-cut shells
- the PDF tutorial which includes measurements, supplies, photos and step by step directions.
**This kit does not include stamped images. I used the Friends are like Seashells stamp set; you could use what you have or add it on to your kit. If you want either the stamp set or the bundle you can add them to your kit at an extra 10% discount! And you get a Sale-a-Bration choice then too!

*You'll also need your own ink. I used the following colors: Blushing Bride, Sahara Sand, Misty Moonlight & Pear Pizzazz.

Order here to receive a kit by February 20th. Or choose the PDF tutorial only here.

*The kits should be mailed out at the end of February via Priority mail; barring any back-ordered items.
