Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to spend it with loved ones.
It’s my favorite time for our family! Our kids are coming as usual and we have a good time playing games, making puzzles, lots of sweet treats and good meals too. We also play Minute to Win It games and have an appetizer showdown too!

A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial
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.
This pretty stamp is part of the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set seen here. She colored the image in with Blends markers. Beautiful work Paula!
I don’t remember seeing a fold like this card before. I love that the main panel on the left is accented by the DSP panel on the right.
Here are her measurements: – card base 10 3/4″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″ & 9 1/8″ – left panel – vanilla 2 3/4″ X 4 3/4″, Early Espresso 3″ X 5″ – right panel – DSP 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, Early Espresso layer 3″ X 4″ – Vanilla inside 3 3/4″ X 5″

Next is a gorgeous card made by Tracey:
Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!
She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.
The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:
She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.
Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….
She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.
Measurements: – Black card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″ – Daffodil Delight 2″ X 5 1/4″ for the left panel, inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″ – Black square 3″ – White front square 2 3/4″, Inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″
