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!

Country Club Designer Paper; make a card with NO stamping!

May 5, 2020

I have some friends who are seriously into golfing! They golf almost daily in Arizona. So I knew I had to send her some cards made with this Country Club designer series paper.

Once I had it in hand I realized that one whole sheet has golf images on it! In fact you can get 12 cards from one sheet! Look!

Save

I cut the image to 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" and colored it in with Blends markers. Just like a coloring book! Next I added a layer of card stock to it. Then added it to a piece of the Country Club designer paper along with a 1 1/4" strip of card stock. Easy peasy!

Easy Country Club Fun Fold card

May 4, 2020
At first I thought this Country Club designer paper was just for people who liked to golf. But once I had the paper in my hand it's sooo much more than that! It is full of wonderful patterns and plaids too!

Today I'm sharing a project my Card Club gals received in April. It's a unique fold that really shows of this cool designer paper.

Save

The card opens up in the middle and the back is one flat piece. Here are the measurements:
- Night of Navy 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
- Crushed Curry 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Country Club DSP 3" square on top and 1" X 3" on the bottom.
- Green or Smoky slate strip is 3/4" X 4"
I used the A Good Man stamp set for the greetings. I added a knot of the Country Club Twine Combo pack beside the greeting with a mini glue dot.

Here's the project sheet with directions, measurements and products used. You can download and save it or print it out. Download 2020 April Clubhouse birthday

I'll have a few more cards featuring this designer paper tomorrow.
