The card I have today is a really simple one. These are some of my favorite cards to make. And as soon as I saw this new stamp set, I knew it had to come to me.
Stamp Set
Today’s card is a one stamp set card. You know I love sets that allow this and I am sure you love them as well. This one is the Choose Happy stamp set. It is on page 24 of the Annual Catalog. There are single words where you can build a sentiment as well as year round images to go along with the sweet words. I chose to make a Spring / Summer type card using both images and words.
The three images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. Each is on a square of Basic White that is 1 1/2 square. The sentiment is from the set as well and is two separate words so you can create multiple sentiments.
Papers
The gorgeous background paper is from the new Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I love the mix of colors and patterns of this paper. These colors worked great for the idea of this card. The paper pack has all of the new In Colors included in it’s patterns. But it also matches other colors as well. I went with Coastal Cabana as the card base and squares. I could have used the Summer Splash for a tad lighter look. The squares of Coastal Cabana are 1 3/4 square. Except the heart ended up being 1 1/4 square and 1 1/2 square on it’s layers.
Finishes
To complete this easy card it still needed bling. The 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems fit the bill perfectly. I pulled three different colors from the gems that matched three of the colors used in the images. These are a great embellishments for the shimmer but especially because they are flat and not raised very much. There is no problem with them poking through the envelope when mailing!
