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!

Tomorrow is the last day; get two pre-cut kits and save on shipping!

May 15, 2020
tomorrow is the last day to get either of my May pre-cut kits to go. I have two choices! You can choose one or both! If you want both I can combine shipping to save you money.

First is the Quick Cards kit; 10 cards including a few unique folds. And they're not all flowery either! Of course you can 'add' flowers if you'd like to……

Save

This kit to go includes $20 in product AND a pre-cut cards kit; all for $28 plus shipping. The product alone costs just over $24 so you're getting the 10 cards kit for less than $4. It includes a full pack of 6 X 6" Regals designer series paper, a full spool of White Flax ribbon and 1/2 pkg. of Holiday rhinestones.

I used the So Sentimental stamp set on my cards. You can substitute any stamp set you own though.

There are three options for you with this kit. Purchase and see them all here.
1. First is the complete bundle that includes the pre-cut cards, product, pdf tutorial AND the So Sentimental stamp set for $59.50.
2. Second choice is the pre-cut cards kit, product and pdf tutorial for $36.
3. Lastly you can purchase just the pdf tutorial; with no kit or product for $15.
*I have a limited number of these kits available. If you want one; do not wait! Go here to get yours.

**If you are already subscribed to my monthly kits to go I have one of these set aside for you. Do not order another!

The second available kit includes these gorgeous cards! Stock up on your supply of masculine cards with this kit that requires NO stamping!

Save

It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards. It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets.

I have a limited supply of this kit on hand because many of the products are retiring. Many of these items are on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

Purchase it here by May 17th.

Both of these kits will be mailed out at the end of this month, which gives you some wonderful crafting time.
