My Happy Stamping Place

Birthday party sheep

I had some fun with this card.  It is a re-make of a card by Dawn Griffith.  She did a version with the Darling Donkeys back during January 2021 Sale-a-bration.  These sheep are celebrating a birthday in a big way!  This card has a lot of detail to it but it's not terribly difficult and was very fun to make.  We made this in my September stamp club and the ladies seemed to love it!  Here is a view of the front, the front flap opened and the inside of the card.

Isn't it fun?!  I am currently running an in person and virtual stamp club hybrid.  What that means is that you can join and come make the cards in person at my house or you can do it virtually from the comfort of your own home.  If you would like more information about joining my monthly stamp club please send me a message at kathleen@myhappystampingplace.com.

For a list of supplies used for this card please see below.  All supplies can be ordered through my website. The sheep stamp set and dies are both products you can get for FREE with a $50 or more purchase($50 for each Sale-a-bration product) through September 30, 2021. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Coastal Dahlias

Hi, welcome back!  My card today is one we made in my September stamp club.  It's a simplified version of a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru.  I love a pop of black in a hand-stamped card.  It makes almost any color stand out.  We stamped the background and the focal point all with images from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set.  This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration stamp set.  It is FREE with $100 purchase through September 30.  The only stamp that isn't from the stamp set is the greeting.  The stamp set comes with greetings but I wanted to make this a birthday card so I used a horizontal happy birthday stamp from the Artistically Inked stamp set.

 

You can line up the inside image with the outline pretty well free hand but we used the Stamparatus tool to get consistent results.  All supplies can be ordered on my website.  For a list of supplies used to make this card please see below.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Penguin card with a twist

I created this penguin card on a Facebook Live video this week.  I used a simple layout with a twist.  The main image is a little more putzy than the other cards I made with this layout but the layout is still simple.

The patterned paper is actually a pack you can only earn for FREE with a $50 purchase during the Sale-a-bration promotion.  This promotion goes through Sept. 30.  You can order all supplies on my website.

Masculine card with a twist

I showed some cards using this simple card layout with a twist.  I made a simple version and a more elaborate version. The card below is the simple version of this card layout.  A masculine card using the Enjoy The Moment stamp set.  I thought the texture and images of this stamp set would lend itself well to a masculine card.

You can see the Facebook video on my page here.

Blending Botanicals

It's been busy around here.  I bet it has in your world too.  The best thing of all is that I have a new granddaughter.  We are in love!  She's just 2 weeks old and she has changed our world.  

So I've been a little distracted.  

 

There is a lot of new things happening in the Stampin' Up! world too.  The annual catalog came out early this year - in May of 2021.  The Holiday catalog and a 2nd Sale-a-bration promotion are starting August 3 of 2021.  I have lots of new product to play with!  The card I'm about to show you was created for my monthly stamp club members.  We used the blending brushes to create a backdrop for the silhouette flowers.  I recorded a video on how to make the card as well.  Here is the card.

Below is the list of supplies used on the card.  All supplies can be purchase on my website.

I am hosting an in person Stampin' Up! Open House on Sunday, July 25 from 2-5:00.  If you are in Minnesota and would like to come you can contact me at kathleen@myhappystampingplace.com.

I made a Facebook Live video last night making this card last night.  Unfortunately, I had my audio turned off so you couldn't hear me.  I'm a bit out of practice I guess.  I deleted that video but wanted to share this card I created on the video.  The background is made with the blending brushes.  I will making another video soon using the blending brushes.  This time I vow to remember to have the audio on!  ;)

All of the supplies used to make this card are listed below.  As always you can order them on my website.

 

We are on baby watch here.  My daughter will be giving birth to our first grandchild any time between now and June 28.  She is being induced on the 28th if she hasn't given birth by then.  So exciting!

Pretty Purple Pansy

I had a quick play with some new product from the upcoming Stampin' Up! catalog.  This pansy suite is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I didn't even delve into the dies that are in the suite yet.  There are unlimited possibilities with this suite.  I wanted to whip up a quick card with this stamp set so this is what I came up with.  This is a go to card layout for me.  Simple and cute.

The painted texture embossing folder isn't new to this catalog but its new to me.  I just love how it really looks like textured paint! I need to make some mother's day cards with this suite.  I've mentioned before that purple is a color I associate with my mom.  I will be making a purple card for her with this set.  

Speaking of my mom, I went to visit her this past week. I have 9 brothers and sisters.  My mom lives in the house we grew up in.  It's really small but somehow we made it work.  What choice did we have, really?  She is 89 years old and has macular degeneration so she can't see well.  We are all pitching in and cleaning a room in her house when we visit her.  I opted to clean her bathroom/laundry room.  I used a lot of elbow grease and replaced some bathroom rugs and such.  As we were sitting and visiting later she said to me, "It was a lot of work raising 10 kids, but it sure is paying off now!"  I love it!  

Below is a partial list of supplies used.  Some are available now and the rest will be in the annual catalog that goes live May 4.  You can order supplies on my website.

Misty Zebra

Are you sick of zebra cards yet?  I hope not because I have a few more to share with you.  I had a fun stamping session in my craft room a few nights ago and created some simple cards with the Zany Zebras stamp set.  The patterned paper comes from the A Flower For Every Season 6 x 6 designer series paper pack.  Even though there are various patterns, they coordinate.  The trick to pattern mixing is to pair a small pattern with a larger pattern.  You see that at play here with the larger floral background with the misty moonlight dots strip of dsp. 

Pattern mixing not only works in paper crafting but also in fashion. Have you tried it?  I usually go for a larger floral pattern paired with stripes or small dots.  Give it a whirl!  

All of the supplies used in this card are listed below.  You can order them from my website.  Some are retiring by the end of the month or sooner(while supplies last).

Green Striped Zebra

The Forever Ferns designer series paper is an unlikely choice to use with the Zany Zebras stamp set but I think it works!  The watercolor striped strokes in the paper with various greens gave me the birthday boy card I wanted to achieve.  Sometimes slicing off a part of the front of the card and letting a little bit of the inside of the card to peek through is a great twist to a traditional layout.  Simple but effective.  

I love the sentiment with this image.  And don't we all deserve to kick up our heels?  I'm ready for it! All supplies are listed below and can be ordered on my website.

I have a few more Zany Zebra cards to post and then I'll switch gears to another stamp set.  I have new product from the upcoming annual catalog(comes out in May)that has arrived at my door.  I will be creating with that product soon but I still have so many retiring products to say goodbye to as well. So many fun projects ahead!
