Keeping is Simple with the Choose Happy stamp set!

Hello Everyone,

Sometimes less is more! So today’s card features a easy technique that still so pretty!

The Choose Happy stamp set has cute images and tiny mix and match sentiments, these would be great for planners and journals too!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I masked off the Basic White card panel with some sticky notes. A touch of residual brown ink from a blending brush defines the section from the background.

The flowers were added next using Memento ink so they could be coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used Calypso Coral and Old Olive!

The sentiment was stamped on to a simple strip popped up on dimensionals.

Here’s an alternative colourway using Pool Party and Granny Apple Green.

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you the card I made for this week’s Monochromatic Instahop!

Dimensional Topper using the Flowers of Beauty Dies

Hello Everyone,

Sometimes it’s the little extras in a stamp or die set that can become the feature element of a card!

The Flowers of Beauty dies not only coordinate with the stamp set, but has these cute tiny flowers too.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I used the Stylish Shapes dies to create frame around the sentiment.

Each little flower was shaped and added with some multi-purpose glue. Rhinestones were added for lots of sparkle!

Here’s an alternative layout using different colours for the flowers and iridescent pearl centres.

Love how this turned out! I think would look great as a wedding card!

Hello Everyone,

We’re going back to basics, with some simple Stampin’ today.

Super easy to do….

Vintage Style Card Topper using the Perennial Postage Bundle

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m creating something a little different. The vintage look isn’t my usual style but I thought it suited this card design.

The Perennial Postage Bundle combines pretty all occasion sentiments and this fantastic set of dies.

I used six of the smallest squares to create a topper, layered with Very Vanilla and Early Espresso card stocks.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I used Pecan pie ink to stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the squares to match the card base.

Some twine, gems and sequins finished off the topper which was adhered with dimensionals.

More Last Minute Cards with the Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

Are you ready for Christmas? I still have some things to do but it’ll come together I’m sure! 🤞🏻. This batch of cards should finish off what I need on that front at least.

The same layout looks so different in each of these colourways….
