Salute to Retiring Favorites: Happy Happenings

Happy Friday! After a week of getting back into the routine we're looking forward to a busy weekend, baseball (weather depending), Battle of the Books school tournament are tops on the list and we can't wait (I'm sure your family is just as busy as ours this time of year). It's during the busy times that I'm so thankful for our coordinating product suites which make crafting so fast and easy. Today's card is another one packed with retiring goodies and showcases the Party Animal Product Suite as well as the Happy Happenings stamp set (both retiring). This was also another card where I had previously stamped the image but never got around to finishing a project with it so it's helping clean up the studio (bonus!)

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Party Animal Designers Series Paper (retiring) for the cardfront (this pattern isn't super busy so it works well on a larger surface). Next I added another piece of the DSP that was matted with Emerald Envy cardstock.

The greeting, from the Happy Happenings stamp set was stamped in Emerald Envy ink on Whisper White cardstock and then cut out with the Big Shot and Layering Circles Framelits. I used some Crushed Curry cardstock to create the scalloped circle mat for the greeting using the same framelits and then attached it to the cardfront with dimensionals. I wanted to add a little something special to finish the card and the Party Animal Embellishments (retiring) are perfect (they're metal and I love that they have a little loop at the top so I tied a bow using Crushed Curry Baker's Twine (retiring) and then attached the embellishment to the cardfront with a glue dot.

Really, this card maybe took 5 minutes to make but I looks extra special due to the coordinating elements and the person receiving the card will love it! This product suite is also great since it works equally well for boys or girls so you've got everyone covered and to make things even better, all the the items in this product suite, DSP, embellishments, cardstock, and washi tape are on sale so make sure to order yours soon since they're only available while supplies last!

Proverbial Stampers Color Challenge: Happy Happenings

Good morning and Happy Birthday Eve (to me, yeah!!) I love birthdays and ramp up to mine all month so I'm super excited. Today I decided to play along with the Proverbial Stampers color sketch and make this super fun card that is perfect to let someone know how fabulous they are (and I have some great friends in that category).

I started with Mint Macaron cardstock for the cardbase and then added a mat of Night of Navy cardstock behind the cardfront that was Smoky Slate designer series paper (from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack). Next I took a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and Boho Chic Embossing Folder to make a flag.

The Tie Died stamp set is so much fun and I used it to make the circle image using Smoky Slate and Night of Navy ink before cutting it out with the Big Shot and Layering Circles Framelits.

The greeting is from the Happy Happenings stamp set and was stamped with Night of Navy ink on Whisper White cardstock and then cut out with the same Layering Circles Framelits as is the scalloped circle mat using Mint Macaron cardstock. The greeting is attached to the cardfront with dimensionals and the final touch was to add a little sparkle with a piece of Silver Sequin Trim just peaking out from the side of the circle.

This card was so easy and fun to make and what a great color combination, definitely did the happy dance when it was finished and I know anyone who receives it will enjoy it just as much.

Just a reminder, we only have 3 more days of Sale-a-bration so make sure to get all your final orders in to get your FREE SAB goodies (there are some great products this year, including recently added Annual Catalog and Occasion catalog items), don't miss out!!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 15

Good morning! One of the things of love about being thankful and showing gratitude is that it isn't limited to the holidays, it's something we can demonstrate and do all year long. For today's 30 Day Gratitude challenge I decided to change things up with this pretty card that can be use any time, for any occasion.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase. The green DSP was a leftover on my desk from a past Paper Pumpkin kit so I loved being able to use it and clean up my desk (a little!!). Next I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and Floral Affection Textured Embossing folder (it's great and has two different embossing folders for double the fun) and matted it with Night of Navy cardstock.

The greeting is from the Happy Happenings stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Whisper White ink before being cut out with the Big Shot and Layering Circles Framelits. I used the same framelits to cute the scalloped circle mat using Crumb Cake ink. Before attaching the greeting to the cardfront I took a piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon and cut it apart so I had the individual strands. I took a couple of strands and looped them and attached to the back of the greeting and then attached it to the cardfront with dimensionals. I took one more strand of burlap and tied a knot and then attached it with a glue dot for the finishing touch.

This card has such a pretty, natural look I really liked how it turned out and was actually really simple to make, love it!!
