Lots of Happy Card Kit

The Lots of Happy Card Kit from the new Stampin’ Up Occasions Catalog makes me “HAPPY!” It’s an all inclusive Kit with everything you need to complete to make 20 cards, including stamps, ink, a stamp block, adhesives, embellishments, envelopes and FOUR watercolor pencils. Watercoloring these cards was actually quickly done using Blender Pens.

Here’s a “group shot” of these gorgeous cards. Truly beautiful!

As you can see, I used the stamp set that was included to decorate the envelopes, also.

The close up shots of each card:

Stampin’ Up also offers a complete set of Watercolor Pencils with even more colors, so I pulled out a couple of those for some alternate ideas.

I wanted a truer blue for the lavender, so I used the Pacific Point Watercolor Pencil.

I used the Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil and Wink of Stella on this card. See the shine on the flowers? Just that little extra touch with Wink of Stella!

So much fun to complete this Kit!

Look at everything that’s included!

This all-inclusive Kit is just $35.00 in the Occasions Catalog, Item 146388. Add just $15 in product to that order and get a FREE Sale-A-Bration Item that coordinates with the Lots of Lavender Stamp Set.

One of my favorite things about using Stampin’ Up products is that everything is coordinated for you! And this Lots of Lavender Stamp Set perfectly coordinates with the Lots of Happy Card Kit.

Birthday Memories Suite and February Events Schedule

One of my favorite Suites from the Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog is the Birthday Memories Suite. Bright and cheerful, colorful and very retro. Loved it from the first time I got to play with it! With the cold, gloomy winter weather we’ve had so much of lately, I’ve begun to be drawn to our more colorful Suites and decided I had to create a card with this adorable little girl.

Birthday Memories Card

One of the BEST things about Stampin’ Up is how everything is coordinated for you. The Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper is the background paper here. The Birthday Girl, present and floral bouquet were all cut from the Designer Series Paper using the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies with the Big Shot. The little girl and the Daffodil Delight Double Stitched Ribbon are both mounted on Pacific Point Cardstock, which is one of my very favorite Stampin’ Up colors. The sentiment was stamped using the Birthday Delivery Stamps Set. See how it’s all coordinated for you?! Makes creating beautiful projects so much easier!

I must admit that I came across a picture a couple of days ago that inspired this card. One of those “long ago” pictures! Yep, that’s me.

Little Dixie

We had a Fun Folds Cards Class and made these cards using this same Suite. See how bright and cheerful this set is?

And here’s the GREAT thing–the stamps, dies and Designer Series Paper are all three available in a Bundle that saves you 10%. Purchase this set through March 31st and you’ll get a FREE Sale-A-Bration Item of your choice!
