We're Blog Hoppin' With "You Are My Happy"

Celebrate National Stamping Month

With A Sarita Card Collection

Sarita's bright and cheerful colors will just seem to go with "You Are My Happy" 

stamp set trio. This stamp set includes some wonderful sayings, an alphabet set 

and some cute icons to go with the sayings. The icon stamps are open stamps

so they will need some coloring  of some sort. I'm not a fan of open stamps so I

 will share some easy ways to enhance your stamps with different techniques. 

If you have come from Katy's scrappinkaty blog you are on the right path.

Card Holder for the Sarita Card Collection

Tone on tone stamping adds dimension to your open stamps

Color in small areas of your open stamp with a coordinating marker

Paper piecing is a good way to use open stamps. 

Stamp the image on one color cardstock and stamp the same image with 

another color cardstock. Cut out part of the image and pop it up

on top of the first stamped image.

Tone on tone stamped image.

Color small areas of the stamped image with water color pencils

Puddle Pad Art

Just Can't Help It

When you make a puddle pad you can't just stamp one thing. When I made the puddle pad for the Color Dare #2 with Lagoon, Pear, Topiary  I just had to keep going with the Butterfly from the Quick Card Stamp. I added Moonstruck by rocking and rolling the image in Moonstruck ink pad.

 31/2  X 31/2  card box holds four  3 X 3 cards with envelopes. To make the box cut the box on page 21 of the Art Philosophy Cricut booklet 81/2."  Fold down the top side and adhere to the inside of the box. Secure the sides and bottom with the tabs and fold into the center. Wrap the box with a
belly band and ribbon. Add your art to the front with pop ups.
Fill with your favorite 3 X 3 cards.

Four cards made with the colors Moonstruck, Lagoon, Pear, and Topiary
from Color Dare#2.
You can find the puddle pad directions on my previous post.
