Happy Thoughts

Today I wanted to showcase a new stamp set that was inspired by Million Sales Achiever Jackie Bolhuis, it is called Happy Thoughts.  I love the wonderful sentiments Jackie chose for this set.  It is a perfect sentiment set to go with any of your favorite image sets.  Additionally, it has sentiments for both the outside and inside of your cards.  The outside sentiments actually coordinate with several of the Stampin’ Up! punches including, the Everyday Label, Tailored Tag, Timeless Label and Story Label punches making is super flexible to use in cardmaking. 

Here is what that stamp set looks like…

I decided to pair this stamp set up with some one of the Sale-A-Bration freebie’s which is the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (free with a qualifying $50 purchase) and I am very happy with the result.  Here is the card I created…

The card base is Basic Black cardstock that is cut 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut my Designer Series Paper to 3 /4 x 5 ½” (2 each) and 2 ¼ x 5 ½” and attached them to the front of my card.  I stamped my sentiment “Happy Birthday” onto a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and I punched it out using the Tailored Tags Punch.  I took a little piece of the Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon and made a little flag that I attached to the back of my punched sentiment and then I popped it up on the front of my card using dimensionals.  I added a couple of the small pearls that I colored using Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.

For the inside of my card, I chose another of Jackie’s sentiments from the set “Today is great because it’s all about you – The great person you are The great things that you do”.  I stamped this sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
