Happiest of Days – Maudie Papercrafts

Stampin’ Up! Another Happiest of Days birthday card

Today’s card uses the Happiest of Days card like the last post, but in a completely different way. I’ve used the Lemon Lime Twist DSP from the Fresh Florals pack to make a very cheerful card.

And like there had to be cake on the last cards, there had to be presents on this one. Once again I used Stamin’ Blends to colour them in – I can’t stop using those pens!

There’s not much more to it. I die cut the presents using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and popped it up on the background.

I don’t know what I’ll be posting next – sneak peek or not? You’ll have to wait and see.

Here’s both types of card I made with this lovely stamp set.

Here’s what I used to make this card:

Back to the annual catalogue today so that I can use the beautiful Happiest of Days stamp set. I love the whimsy of it, and you can do lots with it.

For these cards I used the rose stamp to make a background. Then I coloured each rose with the Blends markers – Pink Pirouette, Old Olive and Pool Party.

Because I liked the background I didn’t want to cover it up too much so I used a vellum strip heat embossed with the sentiment – that way you can still see what’s below.

There had to be cake! So I stamped and coloured it using Crumb Cake and Daffodil Delight. I used the darker pens at the side to try to give the cake a rounded look.

I took one of these cards in pink to a craft fair the other week and sold it straight away. So I made these and my husband chose it to send to his sister. Obviously I’m not the only one who likes the set.

Plus, it’s another one of the few where I know I’ll use all the stamps which is always a bonus. Next time I have another card made with this set using a different stamp.

When I saw this stamp set in the new annual catalogue I thought it was so whimsical and I loved that, so of course it got added to my list of ‘must haves’.

As well as the cake I’ve used on these cards there’s also some presents that I’m keen to use, and a sprig of leaves which is lovely too. It’s the kind of stamp set that you could easily miss in the catalogue, but is actually very useful once you have it.

I made another card the same but different:

I used the Layered Leaves dynamic textured embossing folder on the pink card – I’ve been using it a lot. It has different layers to it which make it look great.

I also used one of the roses from the set on the pink card and fussy cut it to add it to the cake.

This is what Stampin’ Up! did with the same stamp set :
