Last weekend my sister and her husband came to Nashville for a visit. Emily had been to Nashville once to help me when I had my Achilles tendon surgery last spring but we didn’t get to do much since I wasn’t walking at the time and Peter had never been here before. We had a great time going to Broadway in downtown Nashville one afternoon. We went inside a lot of the honky tonks and listened to some great music. Then on another night we went to an Italian restaurant and then to a show at the Listening Room. If you have never been to the Listening Room you should go. It is where singer/songwriters get to play the music they wrote for famous people. It was a lot of fun and we got to hear some more music by the people who wrote it. I am not sure why they are not famous because the songs were great and they all sang really well.
Hues Of Happiness is a beautiful suite of products that are in the Stampin’ Up!® 2022/2023 Annual Catalog. This suite includes the stamp set called Happiness Abounds, coordinating Blossoming Happiness dies, Glossy Dots and Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper. One of my favorite (among many!) things I love about this suite is that some of the dies cut out some of the images in the Designer Series Paper. I think that is a fantastic idea and I use them a lot.
This card was very easy to make, although it doesn’t look like it. I first cut out the flower and the leaves from the DSP using the appropriate dies. Then I cut out the squares (two squares that are 2.5″ and two that are 2 5/8″) in Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo card stock and layered them on top of each other. Then I adhered the flower and leaves on the diagonal of one. I layered both of them on a 3.75″ x 5″ piece of the Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper, a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Melon Mambo and a Blushing Bride card base.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink on a piece of Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo card stock. The entire card took no time at all, yet I think it is beautiful.

Here is another card where Designer Series Paper is the star of the show. The fun thing about DSP is there are different designs on each side that usually coordinate with each other. There are also other packs of Stampin’ Up!® DSP that you can mix and match as I did with this card.
To make this card, I first layered a 3.75″ x 5″ piece of the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper onto a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Fresh Freesia card stock. Then, I tied a piece of Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon around it and layered them onto a Basic White card base. Next, I cut out three 1.25″ x 3 3/8″ pieces of Fresh Freesia card stock. I layered a 1 1/*’ x 3.25″ piece of Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper on top of each of the Fresh Freesia pieces. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set called Sending Smiles in Gorgeous Grape ink and cut it out using the coordinating die in the Sending dies set. If you purchase the Sending Smiles stamp set and the Sending Dies using the bundle item number, you can save 10th %. I layered the sentiment on top of the card using Mini Dimensionals.
I am almost done setting up my stamp room again from our move back to Nashville from the cottage. You never realize how much stuff you have until you have to pack it up and then put it away. Then again, you can never have too many stamping products. I need everything I own and more! You all understand, right?
