Farewell to Happiest of Days

Leave a reply

I’m continuing my Farewell to stamp sets that I will miss with Happiest of Days. Happiest of Days is a lovely little stamp set which I’ve used a lot in my classes. Here are some of my favourite cards to show the variety. Just click on a photo to go to the original post.

I’ve used this one for masculine and feminine birthday cards – this one is using tranquil tide and lemon lime twist in both markers and card stock. I love how it’s so simple and yet so effective.

Next a totally feminine birthday card featuring Whole Lot of Lovely DSP (still available last time that I looked), gold heat embossing, powder pink shimmer ribbon (not retiring!) and some colouring with pear pizzazz and powder pink Stampin’ Write markers.

Here I used a powder pink watercolor wash for the background to my card with some berry burst marker for the cake stripes. Set off with gold heat embossing, this card could be for any celebration.

I made this one solely to feature the gorgeous little powder pink bow. Pre-tried in case you’re bow challenged. I also love the deep fresh fig border around this one.

Happiest of Days

Leave a reply

I was making a few duplicate birthday cards since I need a few at the moment and as I was using the Happiest of Days set to do that, I decided to use another of the images in the set. I love the line drawings.

I started by stamping the decorated sentiment in versamark and then heat embossing it with gold powder and then coloured in the rose and leaves using powder pink and pear pizzazz Stampin’ Write markers. I blotted it with a tissue in case I had any ink sitting on top of the embossing to prevent smudging. I intended to use dry embossing as a background but the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP called to me and well, you can see that I listened! And then I added a piece of the powder pink 3/8 inch shimmer ribbon and wow, I can see why two of the colors of this ribbon are backordered (only until the end of the month)! It’s really shimmery and really easy to tie – although I did my usual and the bow is a separate piece. It makes it easier to have the ribbon flat on the card if you do it in two pieces.

There are a few more images in this set; I think I may play later on today.

Designer Series Paper

Leave a reply

Stampin’ Up! has many beautiful papers that they call Designer Series Paper (and we tend to shorten to DSP). Each year they bring out new ones and there are so many gorgeous papers that it’s hard to do them all justice. So here I’m sharing some notebooks which I covered in DSP but highlighting each of the new in colors. Notepads are easy to cover – just measure the front of the pad and add a teeny bit to the length (so that you don’t bend the cover when opening it), then score where you need the cover to bend and have a couple of inches to glue down onto the back. The most fun is choosing the papers and decorations and then your basic scratch pad is all beautiful.

Here I’ve used Powder Pink with Whole Lot of Lovely DSP, Berry Burst with Color Theory DSP stack and Fresh Fig with Fresh Florals DSP stack. They each have the sentiment from Crafting Forever which I love in coordinating ink stamped on whisper white and then matted in a teeny tiny  scallop in the base cardstock color. I cut these out with the layering circles framelits dies.

To finish off the new in colors, we have lemon lime twist with naturally eclectic DSP and tranquil tide with Delightful Daisy DSP. I can’t decide which is my favourite. Which is yours?

For the rest of July, if you place any size order with me, I’ll send you one of these scratch pads with your thank you card. Just let me know which you’d like or I’ll select one at random for you.
