Sunshiny Happiest Day card with measurements plus more ideas in the video
I had a blast creating with the Happiest Day stamp set. I shared two more cards in my previous blog posts.
Today's project is what I'm calling a 'Sunshiny' card.
I chose my color scheme from the Full of Life designer paper I used on the background – Petunia Pop, Balmy blue & Summer Sun. Of course I added Black for the contrast I like.
I thought the Postage Dies were a great way to layer the elements here. Below is the inside view of this card:
I added a zig-zag of the Iridescent Striped ribbon under the greeting for the 'glitter' effect.
See this adorable Happiest Day stamp set here.
Here are the measurements; but you can see the other two cards I made on the video here.
Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
- White postage die-cuts 1 1/2" X 2 3/8", large is 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
- Black 1 5/8" X 2 1/2", large is 3 3/8" X 4 5/8"
- DSP – 4" X 5 1/4"
Check out the video below; I share two more sweet cards for the Happiest Day stamp set.

What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too
You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card? Well that's what I'm calling this technique!
I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base. I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!
The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results. See the set here.
Here's how I stamped the inside:
Products used:
- Happiest Day stamp set
- Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
- Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP
I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them.
Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with an easy addition of glimmer strips and a few other ideas as well.
