Happier Than Happy Bundle

 This card features the Happier than Happy Bundle 

(Happier than Happy set with Happy Forest dies).  I love

all the cute images that help bring the forest to life.  The

bear looks like it is pointing, or holding up a sign, so it makes

it easy to set up the card elements.  For this card, I used

a retired Embossing Folder as the background.

Grassy Grove with Oceanfront

 For this card, I paired the Oceanfront set (background)

with images from the Grassy Grove set.  I love how easy

it is to stamp these images to create a realistic background.

This is also a card that allows you to leave the sentiment

off, so that you have the flexibility to send it for get well

or birthday situations.

Celebrate Sunflowers

 I think that sunflowers look good in almost any color scheme.

The Celebrate Sunflowers set with Sunflowers dies are

a wonderful combination.  My only concern is that after

adding some Fine Tip glue in the center of the flower

makes it look a bit like a fried egg.

Waves of Inspiration

 The Waves of Inspiration bundle consists of the 

Waves of Inspiration stamp set and Waves dies (page 167).

I like the unique sentiments and wonderful images.

They can be stamped and used as is, or highlighted with

coloring tools.  Either way, these images are beautiful.

Best Remedy Kit

 My Mom had another accident and is back in skilled nursing.

I wanted the Best Remedy kit, specifically for her.  Mom likes

funny cards, and my sister owns an ice cream/souvenir shop.

The images and sentiments are perfect.

I colored the skunk with Stampin Blends and then added

the little ice cream container.  When you open the card,

here is the sentiment.

Flowing Flowers

 Stampin' Up! has offered some fantastic flower sets.

This is a retired set, called Flowing Flowers, from the

January-June 2022 mini catalog.  It was such an elegant set!

You could ink the stamp up with one color, and then

use sponge daubers or blending brushes to add accent colors.
