Here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So – let’s start off by taking a peek at this ADORABLE, very usable Happy Everything stamp set. 


There are so many BEAUTIFUL items have already been created with this stamp....love it!!!  Today, I chose to create some bright, happy cards with this exclusive stamp set. 


Here they are. 

Did you notice???  These cards are the EXACT same card design...just turned 1/4 turn!J
They card pattern I used comes from our FABULOUS How-To-Book, Make It From Your Heart, volume 2....and I used pattern #25. 

I LOVE how much different the 2nd card can look!!  Which one do you like better???


Let's take a closer look....


I added a background of Dry embossed on this card.  I used the Honeycomb embossing folder & was amazed at how much of a different look it created with that one piece of paper! 

You can also see I used the Lagoon Hearts washi tape (cut in half) on this card. 


I used this card for one of my home gatherings recently, and I needed a bit faster of a card - since there were a lot of people attending.  

That's why you see the Cricut cut flower. J Still beautiful (vs. stamping a flower) but a lot quicker to create!!

(I LOVE the chevron, sunset washi tape on this card!) 


****Just a note - the Blossom paper pack will soon be retiring as well (it's on backorder til July 10th at the time of this post)!  This is a FAVORITE paper pack of mine, and many of my customers! 

 This is a while supplies last item - so make sure to contact your own CTMH consultant today to get yours before they are gone!  


Have fun creating with this BEAUTIFUL Happy Everything stamp set!!   J
