Hues of Happiness Card Kit to Go or PDF tutorial

I hadn't planned on featuring this designer paper for my May card kit to go but once I received it I had to use it!  If you love florals you will enjoy this card kit!  

Save

Stampin' Up! hit a home run with this paper!  It's filled with a beautiful variety of florals and ombre backgrounds.  

Save

I created 10 cards using color combinations in the DSP; many of which are fun fold designs. I used the Happiness Abounds stamp set for my greetings and a few extra accents inside.

You have a few choices if you're interested in this kit.  I have the PDF tutorial only, the pre-cut kit to go with the tutorial and you can also add on the stamp set or bundle with the pre-cut kit so you have it all!  

The PDF tutorial is emailed immediately after payment and the kit is sent out via Priority Mail at the end of May. 

**This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive. If you'd like to get a pre-cut kit filled with product AND a free PDF tutorial each month contact me here.

• Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2

  April 17, 2024

  ---

  Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

  First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

  Save

  I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

  The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

  Save

  It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

  Save

  I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way! 

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
  • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal. 

  ~~~

  Next is a sweet pocket card.  Don't you love her beautiful sponging?! 

  Save

  This card has a hidden pocket between the layers.  See that little envelope sticking out?  

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
  • Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
  • Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"

  ~~~

  Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front!  These are also included in the Sending Love dies. 

  Save

  She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring).  The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral. 

  Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!

• Artist of the Month showcase: Donna with the Sending Love bundle

  April 16, 2024

  ---

  Donna chose the Sending Love bundle for here 'Artist of the Month' showcase.  

  Today I'll share half of the cards she made and the other half tomorrow.  

  Save

  This one is a favorite of mine. There's something about the color combination. Vanilla with Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral. And her coloring!

  Next is a card that looks just like a postcard!  

  Save

  She stamped a background on the Starry Sky 'Postcard' layer then added the best 'faux' postcard over it.  Below is the inside view: 

  Save

  Next is her amazing slimline card; it's a huge WOW!

  Save

  Isn't this an amazing scene?  She used Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and the In Color DSP. She created the hills with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  They're half off right now at just $17.40 instead of $29.  I've used these so often and am very sad they're retiring.  

  Save

  The cloudy sky was created by using the cloud/scalloped Basic Border dies as a mask (top die seen above). She also used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here for the stitched cloud die-cuts; they're just $19.50 and were $39.  The 'Sending' die-cut greeting is from the Sending dies seen here.  They're also on sale for $19.80.

• Look at these Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card – Fast & Fabulous!

  April 15, 2024

  ---

  Do you ever want to craft & create but don't have enough time to get out multiple supplies and think up ideas?  Time should never stop you from creating!  

  I made a few of these cards on last week's Live video and afterwards made more; all in just a few minutes! 

  Save

  I didn't need any inks or stamps; I used the greetings in the card pack.  So fast!  

  I used the Sweet Thoughts card pack seen here; it's 40% off right now. And the cards & envelopes are also on sale. See them here. 

  There are times you need to make quick, easy cards just to get your creative fix! 

  Save

  I did use a paper trimmer to cut some of the cards into pieces. For instance notice the colorful striped edges on a few of the cards.  Those are all from one M & More card; I cut it into 3 pieces.  

  Who wouldn't love to give or receive these pretty cards?! 

  Save

  I used just half a package of these beautiful cards to make these 15 full cards.  These Memories & More cards in the pack are discounted right now in the Last Chance list. They're now $6 instead of $10.  See them here. 

  Save

  The photo of the cards above does not do them justice! Check out the stack on the above left.  The package includes 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts that are fun to embellish with.

  You can use these for cards OR scrapbooking.  I shared my Sweet Thoughts scrapbook pages on Friday's post; see it here. Click here to see my pre-cut scrapbook kit (or tutorial) in my Shop.  

  Save

  You can see the envelopes behind these cards.  They are included in the cards & envelopes pack seen here. They're larger than our standard cards – finished size is 6 1/4" X 4 1/4" and are also discounted to $8 instead of $10. 

  Save

  I did add Iridescent Pearls and a few ribbons to these cards. Not necessary but always fun to embellish! 

  Save

  I hope you don't let time stop you from crafting. Add a few of these Memories & More cards or a kit from our Kit Collection for those times you want to create easily without much 'work'.
