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!

Hippo’s & Dandelions?

July 27, 2020

Today I have two more swap cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team. I still have more to share yet!

The first card is made by a brand new demonstrator; Tracey. This was her first swap too! She used the new Hippo Happiness bundle.

Save

Her colors are Just Jade, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness. She stamped her own background using some of the images in the set. That swirly die-cut we all love is from the Painted Labels die-cuts. Such a sweet card!

I LOVE these dies; look at all of the labels. There are 9 of them!

Save

Karen made this pretty card below with the new Dandelions 3D embossing folder.

Save

She used our Vellum card stock; did you know when you run it through an embossing folder it turns 'white' or opaque? So cool! You'll start looking at using vellum and your folders more now, right? She added adhesive to the back of the flower heads and behind the greeting.

Her sentiment if from the Forever Fern stamp set and is punched out with the new Rectangular Postage Punch.

More swap cards coming up!

Nothing’s Better Than cards

July 24, 2020

Have you noticed the 'Nothing's Better Than' bundle yet? You will want to check it out on page 91 of the Annual Catalog.

Candace made two CUTE cards with it and the new Rainbow Glimmer paper.

First up is a fun card with a ton of stitched die-cut circles from glimmer paper for a background.

Save

Her colors are Just Jade with Misty Moonlight and Early Espresso. The stitched circles are all part of the Rainbow Glimmer paper!

Save



Her next card uses the same bundle except she stamped and colored the chocolates and cookies this time. I believe she used watercolor pencils for her coloring.

Save

The 'Chocolate' greeting die-cut is the same Rainbow glimmer paper seen here! You can see this cute bundle here.

Save

You'll see more swaps and talent tomorrow!

Huge Stamping Sale!!!

This weekend is our annual Stamping sale where many of my customers sell off their excess paper crafting supplies. I have a fantastic crew of helpers I call my 'committee'. They set up the sale, do the books, and basically run the entire thing! I am so blessed to have them. Luckily they love it but it's a ton of work!

If you live near us in ND it's so worth a road trip!!! Gather some friends and stop in Saturday!

Remember, this is not my stash! I usually do not sell things here anymore. I save my items for my BOGO sales.

Save

Because of the huge quantity of items and the large number of sellers, I am unable to take requests for wanted items. I'm so sorry about that. I know these photos are a big tease to those who do not live near me and I apologize!

Save

If you live near us in Minot, ND it's well worth a road trip! It's Saturday from 9-3 pm for everyone. The Early Bird sale starts Friday for my current customers (those who have shopped with me in the last 6 months).
