Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Again!

Posted on August 3, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is a re-do of a card I shared with you a few weeks ago before the January/June Mini Catalog retired. I wanted to do this card at a stamp camp last month but the designer paper I had stamped on for the front and the inside was sold out and retired so I had to improvise. I'm very happy with what I came up with! View my original card HERE.

To mimic the look of the retired designer paper, I used a blending brush to gently swirl (by starting the swirling motion off the paper) Soft Succulent ink onto my Basic White layer. I did this for both the front and inside layers.

I stamped "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from Artistically Inked with Starry Sky ink BEFORE embossing the layer with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. Aren't those tiny butterflies cute? They are self-adhesive Brushed Brass Butterflies!

I used the watercolor-look images from Artistically Inked to fill in the detailed line blooms from Happiness Abounds. I stamped the large watercolor image with stamped-off Orchid Oasis, then stamped the detailed line bloom with Starry Sky. I stamped the smaller swirly image with stamped-off Highland Heather ink, then stamped the detailed bloom with Gorgeous Grape. I cut them all out with Blossoming Happiness dies.

I embossed the blooms with the same Painted Posies folder, added touches of Clear Wink of Stella, then adhered with dimensionals. I added the largest Iridescent Rhinestone from the pack to the center of the largest bloom.

I stamped two sentiments from Happiness Abounds on the inside with Starry Sky, and a repeat bloom in the lower left corner.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Happiness Abounds!

Posted on June 2, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Seems like I am on a birthday card-making roll right now. I must admit, birthday cards, after Christmas cards, are my favorite cards to make! Today's card is a combination of the Happiness Abounds bundle of stamps and dies with another piece of Abstract Beauty 4 x 6 Specialty Designer Paper and the Artistically Inked stamp set.

I was thinking about how I wished the Happiness Abounds stamp set had some stamps to fill in the blossom outlines with color and realized I might be able to use the watercolorish images from Artistically Inked. I stamped the large bloom first with the largest image in Artistically Inked with stamped-off Orchid Oasis, then stamped the Happiness Abounds outline bloom with Starry Sky. After I cut it out with the Blossoming Happiness die it was perfect! I stamped the smaller blooms with the smaller Artistically Inked image and stamped-off Highland Heather, then stamped over it with the Happiness Abounds outline using Gorgeous Grape. I cut both of them with the coordinating Blossoming Happiness die. I added an Iridescent Rhinestone to the center of the largest bloom and Clear Wink of Stella to all. Before I adhered to the card I added some texture with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.

I stamped "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from Artistically Inked with Starry Sky ink directly on a piece of Abstract Beauty Specialty Paper before embossing with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. I added a couple more Iridescent Rhinestone for more sparkle.

After adhering the stamped/embossed layer to the card front I wrapped White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon around both front layers, tying in a pretty knot.

Inside I stamped two phrases from Happiness Abounds directly on the Abstract Beauty Specialty Designer Paper, as well as another large bloom with Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky ink.

The Abstract Beauty 4 x 6 Specialty Designer Paper is discounted 50% on the Last Chance Retired List, so go to my online store and grab yourself a couple of packs of the gorgeous paper today!

Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty Abounds!

Posted on June 1, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My Memorial Day weekend was such a whirlwind of activities that I had absolutely no time to stamp! I finally got a few things caught up yesterday (laundry was a biggie) and was able to create this card with the Happiness Abounds Bundle of stamps and dies and Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" Designer Paper. The Abstract Beauty paper is on the Last Chance Retiring List and is discounted 50% ($7.50 instead of $15), so I wanted to play with another one of the prints from the pack before it goes away!

By the time I finished the card the light was fading, but I think the card still shows up quite prettily. I took my colors from the Abstract Beauty print: Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent, and Basic White.

I stamped the roses on Basic White with Balmy Blue. I stamped the top rose on a piece of post-it-note, then cut it out to create a mask before stamping the lower rose. I then stamped the lower rose on another post-it-note to cut out to create another mask before stamping the leaves. I colored the roses with both Light & Dark Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends and the leaves with Light & Dark Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends. I added highlights of Clear Wink of Stella to the roses and colored the rest of the Basic White layer with a Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend. I also cut the left side of the 2 1/2" x 3" layer with the "torn notebook" Blossoming Happiness die.

I added a few Iridescent Pearls when the card was assembled.

I stamped the Happiness Abounds greeting with Soft Succulent ink on a 3/8" strip of Soft Succulent, then used Paper Snips to cut the ends at an angle. I added the focal image layer and the greeting to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added texture and interest to the 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Balmy Blue with another of the Blossoming Happiness dies.

Inside I stamped another Happiness Abounds sentiment, another rose, and more leaves to coordinate with the front.

This card came together very quickly! Here's the shopping links for the supplies:

Stampin’ Up! Nothings More Than!

Posted on May 26, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With the "notebook" die from the Happiness Abounds Bundle the possibilities are endless for creating "notes" and such for cards! I decided to use this die to create "notes" for a birthday card with the Nothings Better Than stamp set and Love You More Than dies!

After I stamped the chocolate chip cookies with Early Espresso ink randomly all over a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Crumb Cake, I then used a Blending Brush to add shading to the edges. I stamped 3 cookies on a Crumb Cake scrap, then cut with a Love You More Than die. I also added shading to the cookies with the same Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink. I cut the "notebook page" from a 2 1/4" x 3 1/8" Basic White layer, then created the "torn page" look with the Blooming Happiness die. I stamped the phrase with Sweet Sorbet ink and cut "cookies" from Sweet Sorbet card stock with a Love You More Than die. I added the die cut to the front with dots of liquid glue. I added the cookies with dimensionals.

For the finishing touches I added a few Sweet Sorbet 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.

Inside I added a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Sweet Sorbet, followed by another "notebook page", this time 3 1/4" x 4 3/8". When I cut out the "Love you more than" with the dies of the same name, I put Adhesive Sheet on the back so it would be easier to adhere. I stamped "cookies" from Nothings Better Than with Early Espresso, and "birthday wishes" from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set with Sweet Sorbet ink. I added an Early Espresso cookie here and on the envelope front and flap to coordinate it all together!

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds New Catalog Sneak Peek!

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another card I created with New Annual Catalog Sneak Peek products!

I used the Happiness Abounds Bundle that includes the Happiness Abounds stamp set and Blossoming Happiness Dies. I also used Hues of Happiness 12" x 12" Designer Paper and Parakeet Party 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.

I stamped the flower with Melon Mambo ink, then used ink squeezed onto the lid of the ink pad to paint the bloom. I used an "empty" Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to paint the bloom, as well as the Mossy Meadow-stamped leaves. Don't ever throw out an empty Wink of Stella! You can re-use them with ink pad ink, re-inker ink, etc! I added a Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Color Opal Round to the center to finish it off.

I stamped the greeting with Tuxedo Black ink, but beside the Mossy Meadow card base stamped with Mossy Meadow leaves, it almost looks like Mossy Meadow too! One of my favorite pieces from the Blossoming Happiness dies is the one I used to cut the top edge of the Basic White focal image layer to look like it has been torn from a notebook!

Inside is all stamped with Happiness Abounds images.

I used the book-binding fold for this card, adding a 3/4" x 4" strip of Hues of Happiness Designer paper to the binding edge.

I also created a second card with the same colors and products, but used a Blending Brush to add the Melon Mambo ink to the bloom for a softer look.

I created a third card with another strip of the same print of Hues of Happiness designer to feature a Fresh Freesia bloom. All of the Hues of Happiness prints are in an ombre design.

Tomorrow only! Free Shipping on all orders of $75 or more! (before sales tax).

Supply links for today's card that are currently available. The rest will be orderable on May 3rd!
