Day Two: Lots of Happy Card Kit

Stampin Up Lots of Happy Card Kit Birthday Cards - Rosanne Mulhern

I’m back again today with another card alternative using the Lots of Happy Card Refill Kit.  Like I mentioned yesterday, I only purchased the refill kit and used sentiments from sets I had on hand.  This proved to be a fun exercise.  HERE’S yesterday’s card.

Here’s the details

  • Look at all the elements included in just the refill kit.  The All-Inclusive kit includes even more.  That’s a lot of cards and a lot of fun!

  • All the elements I used on this card came from the refill kit and were colored with Stampin’ Blends.
  • I sponged the vellum leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink.

  • The sentiment is from the Best Birds stamp set.  It’s stamped in Basic Black ink and cut with the Layering Squares Framelits.
  • A Gold Foil scalloped square and Basic Black square are adhered to the larger square included with the kit.  It’s then popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

  • Two sentiments from the Best Birds stamp set combined to create the inside sentiment.
  • I cut the kit’s image to embellish the inside, as well.
  • Again the envelope didn’t need any help from me, but I just couldn’t resist with this one and added a little more embellishment to the front.

A Week of Lots of Happy!

Happy Monday!  Today I’m featuring something a little different on my blog.  I will be posting a project each day using the Lots of Happy Card Kit available NOW in the new Occasions Catalog.

I have had the most fun putting together this weeks’ worth of posts featuring the images and products from this kit.  However, I only purchased the refill and used sentiments from my Stampin’ Up! sets that I already had.  I also used Stampin’ Blends to color the images that came with the refill kit.  I think this is just another testament to the versatility and value you can find with Stampin’ Up! Kits.  After all, it’s really all about the creativity, so I just got a little more creative and came up with a week of alternate projects along with the projects featured in the video.

Here’s the details

  • The card base, Whisper White card stock layer and striped Designer Series Paper is from the Lots of Happy Card Kit Refill.  This was so easy since everything is already pre-cut and scored.
  • Using the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon included with the kit, I wrapped it vertically around the DSP layer and added a small bow.
  • I popped the Whisper White and DSP layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals unto the card base.

  • The floral image is also included in the kit and was so relaxing to color with Stampin’ Blends. After coloring the flowers, I added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to each of the blooms.  It gives them a pretty shimmer.
  • The vellum leaves, also included in the kit, were sponged with Pear Pizzazz ink.
  • The sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and is stamped in Basic Black ink and cropped with the Layering Circles Framelits.
  • Another circle is cut from Lemon Lime Twist card stock.
  • As a finishing touch, I added a few iridescent sequins.

  • The inside sentiment is also from the Birthday Blooms stamp set.
  • A little strip of card stock give the inside a splash of color!
  • The envelope that was included with the kit needed no help from me!

Baby, It’s (really) Cold Outside – TTTC #29

Welcome back to the first Tic Tac Toe Challenge of 2018.  This week’s challenge board is so relative given the fact that the temperature here in SE Pennsylvania has been below freezing since right after Christmas.

I loved all the winter elements that Felicita gave us to work with this week as I was definitely in a winter frame of mind!

Tic Tac Toe Challenge - Lawn Fawn - Rosanne Mulhern

I reached for some non-SU products to create this card.  I’m a huge fan of Lawn Fawn’s sweet images and have had this Winter Alpaca set for quite some time.  The sentiment could not be more perfect!

Here’s the details

  • The A2 card base is Whisper White thick card stock with a gingham pattern measuring 4″ x 5 1/2″.

  • I cut a circle from the Layering Circles framelits and stamped the snowflakes with Versa Mark ink from the newly retired, Tags and Trimmings stamp set.  They’re heat embossed with white embossing powder.
  • Some tiny pearls accent the center of some of the snowflakes.
  • A scalloped framelit from the Layering Circles created a frame. This is adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The adorable alpaca was stamped with Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends markers.
  • I stamped him again on patterned paper and pieced it to create the scarf.  He, too, is popped with Dimensionals.

  • The sentiment is stamped on Crumb Cake card stock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
  • The envelope is embellished with the same patterned paper used on the scarf.
