Happiness Surrounds Epiosode 1, Inspire. Create. #029

The new set Happiness Surrounds and the coordinating thinlits are only going to be here for a short time - you have until the end of November to order them. So I thought I'd show you a few different ideas in case you were on the fence about ordering it This is Episode 1 of 5
I haven't used the Christmas set but I LOVE the simplicity and versatility of the Happiness Surrounds set.
I have used the layout from Inspire. Create. for this card. The focal piece is so lovely it doesn't need a complex background.
The gorgeous leaf circle has a matching "frilly"flower framelit to cut it out which layers beautifully over the solid "plain" flower framelit (you'll see that in a later post). So if you look at my card above I have cut two of these and layered them on top of each other. I think you could also use this as a Christmas wreath image.

the "frilly flower" is on the bottom row second from the left., and the other cute little emblem is the bottom row far right which is used on the inside of the card.


I do love a square card . 
The little detail poking out was a stitched label framelit that didn't come out cleanly, but it's just enough for some added detail on this card.

EDITED
so delighted to win a Special Mention in the challenge for Inspire. Create. #29

Pop back tomorrow for some more tips on using this lovely set.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. 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...
