Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for a card created using the Decorated With Happiness Bundle and sharing a bit of my creative process and what I would change with a redo.
This bundle is crazy fun with outstanding standalone die-cuts. My color was built up with a combination of Stampin’ Blends and Watercolor Pencils.
You can find the Decorated With Happiness Bundle on page 27 of the July – December Mini Catalog with the cute Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets also featured at the top left of the page AND see the designer series paper that I took the photos on? It’s the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper, which is Host available with a $150 order, is on page 86, that coordinates beautifully with so many of our bundles and stamp sets in the Annual and Mini Catalog. This designer series paper alone will take you through the holidays this year. It’s a huge pack of paper with 48 sheets.
Below is the Decorated With Happiness Bundle with so many creative possibilities that I’m looking forward to using on my Christmas Tags. The coordinating die-cuts have a lot of fun standalone accessory shapes for even more versatility in this bundle.
As always, your shopping Supplies and Instructions, including measurements, are below. Both card have the same dimensions and cuts. The only difference is the colors that I used for the bulbs and embellishments that I differentiate the cards by the gold left and silver right.
I started out with A2 Basic White Thick CS bases and cut the image panels to 4 x 5-1/4 from Basic White Regular CS.
For the gold card above, all of the images were stamped, colored, and die-cut.
What I would change on this card is stamping the bulb image outlines and hangers in Versamark and gold heat embossing them, like I did the silver card.
I stamped the bulbs in Smoky Slate ink onto Basic White Thick CS and left the images on the lid of my Stamparatus.
From left to right, the bulbs were colored with:
Real Red Stampin’ Blends + Real Red Watercolor Pencil.
Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends + Pumpkin Pie Watercolor Pencil.
Pool Party and Pacific Point Stampin’ Blends + Pool Party and Pacific Point Watercolor Pencils.
Once colored, I re-stamped the bulbs with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
The greenery was stamped in Pear Pizzazz for the solid image and Old Olive for the detail.
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with gold powder at the bottom center.
For the silver card above, all of the images were stamped, colored, and die-cut.
I stamped the bulbs in Versamark ink and heat embossed with silver powder.
From left to right, the bulbs were colored with:
Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Blends + Gorgeous Grape Watercolor Pencil.
Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends + Pumpkin Pie Watercolor Pencil.
Old Olive + Garden Green Stampin’ Blends + Old Olive and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils.
The greenery was stamped in Pear Pizzazz for the solid image and Old Olive for the detail.
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with silver powder at the bottom center.
For final assembly, all of the images were adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The image panel was adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project and please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and have a great day!
