Happiness Abounds – Stampin' in the Meadows

Good Morning! I used the gorgeous Hues of Happiness designer series paper with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle to make today’s Best Wishes card. This sentiment is great for a birthday, wedding or any special occasion. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Hues of Happiness designer series paper to a Granny Apple Green mat and popped it on the front of a Daffodil Delight card base. I cut a Basic White panel with the spiral notebook die from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle and then cut it again with the eyelet lattice die. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut three flowers and four leaf clusters from the Hues of Happiness DSP – I love that the gorgeous flowers in this DSP can be cut with Blossoming Happiness dies. I adhered the large flower to the card front with dimensionals and adhered the other flowers and leaves around it with glue dots. I made a loopy bow with the pretty Parakeet Party metallic ribbon and adhered it under the flower.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds photopolymer stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the small banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with beautiful Glossy Dots. I finished by giving the flowers some sparkle with Wink of Stella.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bouquet in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Daffodil delight. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle goes beautifully with the Hues of Happiness DSP, but also has beautiful outline flower stamps that can be colored and cut out with the dies. And the sentiments are beautiful and can be used for both the inside and outside of the card. This is a must have set for flower lovers!

Good Morning and Happy Easter! Today I’m sharing the card that I made in my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon using the new Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog. This is a beautiful floral bundle with outline floral photopolymer stamps and wonderful sentiments. Each floral image has a corresponding die and there are specialty background and edge dies that can be used with any stamp set. I also used other products from the Hues of Happiness Suite including the designer series paper and Glossy Dots. You can find the currently available supplies I used in my video at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the link to the Facebook Live video from yesterday. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer. I’ve included it in this post:

I adhered a panel of the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer series paper to a Melon Mambo mat and adhered it to the front of a So Saffron card base with dimensionals. I cut a Basic White rectangle with the third largest Scalloped Contours die and cut another panel with the lattice die from the Blossoming Happiness dies in the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle. I adhered the lattice panel to the inside of the scalloped rectangle with liquid glue and adhered them both the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black twice on a Basic White panel. I colored one flower with the Melon Mambo and the other with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends and did both centers in Dark Smoky Slate. I stamped double leaf three times on Basic White and colored them with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I cut the cut the flowers and leaves out with the corresponding dies.

I punched the ends of a So Saffron strip with the Lovely Labels pick a Punch and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals on the DSP and a glue dot on the layered die cut. I adhered flowers to the card front with dimensionals and adhered the leaves with glue dots, tucking them under the flowers. I finished with three Melon Mambo Glossy Dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green. I stamped the pretty sentiment next to the bouquet and trimmed the bottom in DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The beautiful line images in the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set can be used with so many different techniques – embossing, water coloring, stamping on DSP – so it makes it a versatile stamp set. The sentiments cover many different occasions and they’re written in a pretty script with extended lines at the beginning and end of the words. Here’s a picture of the card, stamp set, dies, DSP and dots that I used, along with the sample card I made. The sample card was made from the blue side of the DSP and had a Pool Party card base, Gorgeous Grape mat and flowers colored in Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Stampin Blends.

Here’s a peek of all the patterns in the Hues of Happiness DSP. Aren’t they pretty!

And here’s another shot of the new Items I used in my card. Note the lattice die on the bottom and the two edge dies – the spiral notebook and the slotted edge dies – can’t wait to use these! Also note how the DPS has two color pallettes!
