Happiness Surrounds Episode 3, positioning tips

Welcome back for Episode 3 where I used the set for some all over stamping.
I love the effect you can create with these gorgeous images and some simple stamping.
I have used the fabulous foil edged notecards and envelopes again, Simple and quick with a big wow factor.



Using the stamparatus for these images makes repeated stamping like this easy. 
  • Stamp all 3 colours with your card held in one position.
  • then move the cardstock to your next position and anchor it with the magnets and restamp all 3 colours
  • Repeat until happy
  • if you mark the underlying gridpaper with the position each time you stamp the images, you can repeat this pattern and stamp multiple cards 
  • to line up the images stamp the large outer circle first
  • position the radial leaf image with the tip of each leaf matching the base of the little fountain spray image - see photo below
  • position the small solid flower image with the join between each petal exactly matching the base of the leaf stalk in the radial image - see photo below





It will look fabulous every time.
Experiment with different colours.
I've also used this combo which I love

Here is another version using the same principal 


Tomorrow's episode is part of a blog hop so there will be even more samples.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,

If you would like to order this fabulous set please use the Hostess Code for October, and I will send you a little thankyou gift.

"don't just post online,

This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
