An Apple 🍎 A Day...

Happy Friday Crafty Friends,

I hope you are all well and staying healthy ~ Friday means finishing up the house cleaning day but first I had to create this really sweet Apple 🍎 Card and Treat Holder as a thank you gift for a sweet friend who placed her Stampin’ Up! order on my shopping page!

I am excited for fall and being that she is a retired school teacher this Harvest Hellos #150581 page 89 of the Annual Idea Book and Catalog was the perfect choice. 

There is also a matching punch available on page 167 it’s the Apple Builder Punch # 150663.

Clean and simple projects are just the ticket for this crafty gal and the little Apple holder has two Hershey Chocolates wrapped in the same matching plaid designer series paper. 

Have a terrific weekend, stay cool and get your craftiness on ~ 

Happy Hugs,

Life is a beautiful thing ~

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Just sharing one of the cards from this months current "Free Kit with Purchase". It features my favorite go-to set, Colorful Seasons. I reach for this ALL the time and it has the most perfect images for all seasons.

I will have a new "kit" coming out next week with some beautiful cards using the super cute stamp set Bella and Friends!

Happy Hugs,

 

Ep.#564 ~ Stampin' Up! "Birthday Blossoms" FUN FOLD Card!!!

Hi there Happy Stampers,

Happy Monday, I feel like I haven't shared a video in forever - it's only been a week, but lots is going on in our home and I am in full blown Graduation party mode!

I've been super anxious to play with this beautiful stamp set "Birthday Blossoms" that I have had my eye on for a long, long time. The DSP I used in this video "Succulent Garden" is retiring at the end of May so you only have until the 30th of this month to get your hands on it before it goes away for good.

I hope you give this fabulous fun fold card for yourself and if you do, please share your creation on my The Happy Stamper Facebook page or by using the #thehappystamper

Happy Hugs,

Ep.#562 ~ Stampin' Up! "Happy Celebrations" Birthday Card!

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Who doens't need birthday cards ALL the time??? I know I do and today I made some fun ones with the Happy Celebrations stamp set from Stampin' Up!

With summer almost here, I had to use fresh and sun shiny colors - doesn't card just scream SUMMER to you? I am so happy with how it turned out and I hope you give this stamp set a try. I really like sets that have sentiments plus images, that's a win-win in my book.

Thanks for taking time to watch my video, I hope you have a great rest of your week - over the hump we go...

Happy Hugs,

Viola ~ Thank You Card!

Hi there Happy Stampers,

How many of you remember this great stamp set called "Viola" by Stampin' Up!?

As soon as my daughter asked me to make a Thank You card for the Chef at her sorority house, I knew this was the stamp set I was going to use!
 

I combine that set as well as the current set "Perfect Pair" from the Occassions Catalog. I hope she likes it and all the girls can sign their names since is a large 5 x 7" card...

Can't forget about making a super cute custom envelope for it ~

Have a great rest of you day,

 

  

Scrapbooking Layout | Rose Wonder Stamp Set

Hi Everyone,

Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am!!! I was able to get my house cleaning done early yesterday so I could do some fun scrapbooking , woo-hoo!

I finally used the "Rose Wonder" stamp set from Stampin' Up! To create the pretty background paper which is perfect for the pictures of our gardens around our home. I used my watercolor brush and ink from my ink pads (right on the lids) to create the pretty watercolor effect. 

I filmed a video yesterday as well using my phone and after trying all Day yesterday ias well as again this morning and it will not upload for some reason. I had to just give up so I will make another today and hopefully that will upload without a problem.

Have a great weekend and I hope you get some crafty time to yourself...

Happy Hugs,

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Happy Easter Eve depending on where you are in the world, lol! In today's video, I wanted to share with you this BEAUTIFUL Easter card I created using the "Easter Message" stamp set from Stampin' Up! combined with the stunning copper embossing powder. It's so, so pretty... *Sigh*

I am crazy about this stamp set and it's gorgeous images not only for cards and scrapbook pages, but I plan on using this stamp set on my bible journaling pages! It's going to look so pretty on my pages and is perfect for all of my entries.

Epi. #535 ~ Post-It-Note Christmas Gift Using Stampin' Up!

Hi there Happy Stampers,

A request was made on how to make these super quick and easy Post-It-Note Covers, they make excellent little gifts for anyone on your holiday list!

I found this on Splitcoast Stampers but I was not able to find the persons name anywhere on the written instructions. There are lots of different crafters who share this same idea and how to do them. I am sure you will find many more on Pinterest too...

The little pens I added to the gift bag came from the Dollar Spot at Target. Don't forget to add some chocolate too, that always a sure bet for anyone!

I hope everyone is staying warm, we are in an artic freeze here in Chicago, I have been praying SO hard for all those who are homeless and also the furry animals that live outdoors. When I brush our fluffy Golden Retriever, I have been putting her fur in the bushes so the birds and other animals can add it to their nests and homes to help them stay warm. My mom used to do that when I was growing up, we are BIG animal lovers so anything to help them.

Please consider making a food donation to your local church or outreach programs, so many go without and it just shouldn't be that way.

Warm Hugs,
