So Much Happy

Posted on February 5, 2021 by Susan Horr

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Stamp Off Challenge with Jackie, Buffy and me. This time our challenge is to make a shaker card. I was really happy to see this challenge. When Stampin’ Up!® had the virtual convention this year, Shannon West did a presentation showing how to make an easy shaker card using the Stampin’ Up!® Clear Medium Envelopes and I have wanted to make one. Normally shaker cards take some time to do the shaker part but this was so easy!

Here is my card using the So Much Happy Bundle that is in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalog. This view shows the card standing up. The one below shows it laying down so you can see the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles I used better.

To make the shaker part all you do is take a Stampin’ Up!® Clear Envelope and put a piece of Designer Series Paper and your shaker parts inside it. I used the True Love Designer Series Paper and the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles that are both in the 2021 January – July Mini Catalog. Then you just fold it to the size you need using Tear & Tape to keep it folded and sealed. No messing with adhesive foam strips and acetate. The envelope works great and is so easy!

The rest of the card did not take a lot of time either. I cut a rectangle out of the center of a 5.25″ x 4″ piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut the word “Happy” using the Happy Dies from the Annual Catalog and glued it to the back of the piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock so looked like this:

I attached that to the Clear Envelope also using Tear & Tape and then the envelope to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I cut out the sentiment using the Banners Pick A Punch and cut out the stars using the Happy Dies.

Now, let’s go see what Buffy and Jackie made. I have a feeling they will use the easier way to make shaker cards like me. They were both watching the video.

Happy Birthday to my oldest youngest sister, Katherine. I hope you have a day as awesome as you are!

So Much Happy

Posted on December 16, 2020 by Susan Horr

Stampin Up So Much Happy Whenever a new mini catalog comes out with lots of new products, I always have to remind myself that there are amazing products in the Annual Catalog too. I often forget about them so I decided to start using some more often.

So Much Happy is a perfect name for this stamp set. It is such a fun stamp set with balloons, stars and sentiments and it has an amazing coordinating die set called Happy Dies. The dies cut out a HUGE Happy along with all the balloons and stars and also has some really nice edge dies. Both the stamp set and the dies are in the 2020/2021 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog and you can save 10% by purchasing them in a Bundle.

I first started out by stamping a lot of balloons in Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather. Then I cut them out using the coordinated dies. I also cut out all the ballon strings and bows in the same colors and then figured out how I wanted them placed on the card. I attached some of the balloons using Stampin Seal and some using Dimensionals. Then I stamped the sentiment “happy” in Versamark and heat embossed it using White Embossing Powder and my Heat tool. Lastly I stamped the birthday sentiment in Highland Heather ink. I thought all these colors together looked, well, so happy! Perfect for a birthday card.

Don’t forget the Year End Closeout Sale is still going on. Products are going fast so order soon before they run out!

So Much Happy

Posted on July 15, 2020 by Susan Horr

When I first saw the stamp set called So Much Happy, it made me happy because it has lots of balloons. Who doesn’t like balloons? What really made me very happy was looking at the matching dies called Happy Dies! One of the dies cuts out the large “happy” border and I just love it. It is large and it is different so I knew I would get it right away. There are 15 stamps in the set and 11 dies.

To make this card I first cut out the word happy in Gray Granite cardstock. Then I ran each end of it through my die cutting machine using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I did it this way because I didn’t want the actual word to be embossed. I backed the word with a piece of the 6″ x 6″ 2020/2022 InColor Designer Series Paper in Bumblebee and layered that on top of a Bumblebee card base. Then I cut out the banner and the balloons using the same DSP and the balloon strings in the matching cardstock colors. Lastly I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto Bumblebee cardstock and cut it out using a die from Ornate Frames.

By the way, if you purchase the So Much Happy stamp set with the Happy Dies in a bundle you can save 10%.

It is Bonus Days!! For every $50 you spend during the month of July you earn a $5 coupon towards your August purchases. Purchase $50 and you get one coupon. Purchase $100 and you get two! There is no limit as to how many coupons you can earn!

So Much Happy

Posted on June 24, 2020 by Susan Horr

Stampin’ Up!® has so many new products in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalog that I really love. I bought a lot of the new bundles when this catalog because live on June 3rd. The thing I really like is that they have great stamp sets that have matching dies but you can also mix and match different products from different bundles. This is what I did to make this card.

The stamp set I used is called So Much Happy. This set has matching dies called Happy Dies which are a lot of fun and you can save 10% by purchasing them as a bundle. I didn’t use the matching dies for this card (although in the near future you will see a card I made using them). Instead, I used the Stitched Triangles dies. You know, I have to have all the stitched dies that are available! These dies are bundled at 10% with the stamp set called The Right Triangle.

I also wanted to show the new InColors to show you how well they go together. I did not use Magenta Madness because I wanted to make a more masculine card and didn’t think a very bright pink would help with that. I did use the Stitched Triangle Dies to with the new 6′ x 6″ InColor Designer Series Paper in Bumblebee, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Cinnamon Cider.

Here is a little tip on making this card: I used a T-Ruler to keep everything straight. If you don’t have a T-Ruler you can get one on Amazon. They are very inexpensive and really help to keep things aligned.

Don’t forget, during the month of June you can get an extra $25 in hostess benefits with a minimum $250 order. It is also a great time to join my Stampin’ Up!® family because you can get $125 worth of products for $99 (with FREE shipping) AND you can choose any Bundle in the new catalog for free too!
