For my first YouTube Live of the new year and the new January - June 2022 Mini Catalog, I chose to create something bright and cheerful!! I created three projects using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle and the Kite Delight Stamp Set. If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay below. Here is the first card. For the second card, I used the Kite Delight Stamp Set along with the FREE Sunshine & Rainbows DSP. For my 3D project, I created a simple slider treat holder.
Last week I polled on Facebook which product should I use this week - the Rainbow of Happiness Stamp or something brand new from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It was pretty even, but the Rainbows won!
My card today is one that my stampers made at my Mini Catalog/Sale-a-Bration Kickoff event. We had fun making a few quick projects and they got to see new stuff in action and all my samples up close. It was great seeing them and fun to be together again after taking December off. The Rainbow of Happiness is getting a lot of love out there in stamper land and for good reason. It's a cute, easy to stamp set that has coordinating dies for even more design possibilities as well as a pack of DSP that can be earned for free during Sale-a-Bration. Buy the Rainbow of Happiness bundle, add in another $6 (or more) worth of product and you can choose the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP for free! Win Win! I used bright, cheerful colors to create the rainbow. Stamping the larger arch first and then working my way down. I did the top down approach to make sure I didn't run out of room and for the the final rainbow to be perfectly placed. A few die cut clouds with one popped on a mini dimensional up finish the rainbow ends. You can't see it in the photo but the clouds are colored in with clear Wink of Stella for a subtle sparkle. A baker's twine bow accents the sentiment side of card. The sentiment is also from a new set; Happy & Heartfelt. I wish my handwriting was this cool and neat! Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today? Stamps: Rainbow of Happiness, Happy & Heartfelt Ink: Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Memento Black Paper: Basic White thick, Basic White Accessories: Brilliant Rainbow dies, bakers twine, Wink of Stella, dimensionals
Happy St. Patrick's Day! It's hard not to think of rainbows today and all the happiness they bring! As soon as I saw this set in the January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up!®, I knew that it would be so much fun to play with. Today on my livestream I shared how to make 2 different cards. The first one is nice and simple and just features the Rainbow of Happiness Stamp Set. The second card was all about the Brilliant Rainbow Dies.I love the way the rainbow looks with just a little hi

I had my monthly class yesterday and my stampers made this sweet rainbow card using the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. It's a nice cheerful card for these cold winter days. This card starts with a Pool Party base with the sweet sentiment embossed in white in the corner. Then a piece of Basic White is cut on an angle (so you can see the sentiment) using the Basic Borders dies to make the cloud like edge. The rainbow pieces are die cut out of Basic White thick using the Brilliant Rainbow dies and then colored using ink pads and blending brushes. Once the color was blended on the little stamped patterns are added over the top using the same color ink (all listed below). The rainbow pieces are then adhered to the white cloud panel. A piece of crinkled seam binding ribbon is tied across the bottom of the panel and then the whole thing is adhered to the card front using dimensionals. A few iridescent rhinestones placed around the sentiment are the final touch for this card. Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today? Stamps: Rainbow of Happiness Ink: Versamark, Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia Paper: Pool Party, Basic White, Basic White thick Accessories: Brilliant Rainbow dies, white embossing powder, Basic Borders dies, crinkled seam binding ribbon, iridescent rhinestones, dimensionals

'Tis the season for warm holiday colors! This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge is beautiful and I can't wait to see what everyone creates! I think I used a a little something from every seasonal suite in the July-December Mini Catalog for this card! Black & White Gingham Ribbon from the Cute Halloween Suite, Cork Specialty Paper from the Harvest Meadow Suite and cute little Christmas Trees Dies from the Whimsy & Wonder Suite. I LOVE it when so many different products all work together! I cut some whimsical trees in shades of Merry Merlot, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent and arranged them on a circle of Cork Speciality Paper. To give the card a bit more color, I added a piece of Evening Evergreen In-Color DSP...but it still needed more! ...bring in the Black & White Gingham Ribbon! Have I mentioned how much I love this ribbon?!?! A bit more black was added with a sentiment from Christmas to Remember stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I thought about adding a few embellishments, but decided this card just didn't need them. Are you ready for the Christmas season? I was ready after Halloween, but I held off on putting any decorations up until the weekend before Thanksgiving. We usually wait until the weekend after, but we were traveling this year, so I decided some Christmas cheer for a few more days wouldn't hurt anyone! I hope you'll join along and share your colorful Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge creations! Happy Stamping! Products Used:
I say, if you're going to go through the work of cutting out four rainbows to get four different colors in your rainbow, you might as well just make 4 cards. Work smarter, not harder - right?!

The Stamp Review Crew are hopping once again and for this one we are sharing projects created with the lovely "Rainbow of Happiness" bundle. My projects for this one were created using the lovely SAB dsp "Sunshine & Rainbows" Colours were dictated by that. Some gold foil, stitched shapes(retired) and Magenta madness cardstock...The sweet giftbox is one of the "Mini Gold Pizza Boxes" folded inside out...These are currently available at a discount in the Stampin Up clearance section. I wanted a long sentiment on the card, so using the arched sentiment from the set, l stretched it out horizontal on the "H" acrylic block, lining it up on my grid paper...so simple, but makes it very versatile. Gold twine for the bow & the little heart is a punch from the (retired) Owl punch. If you are happily hopping, you would have arrived here from my fabulously creative friend Lou Kitzelman and l'm sure she had something amazing to share!

Hello friends and welcome back to another Monday Montage Blog Hop! We're so happy to have you join us! OnStage@Home was held last weekend and with that came a sneak peek of the upcoming January-June (JJ) 2022 and January-February Sale-a-Bration (SAB) catalogs. You are going to LOVE these catalogs!!! Along with those sneak peeks of the new catalogs, demonstrators who attended OnStage@Home were able to purchase select items from the Product Purchase Premier...say that 3 times fast! My order was super quick to arrive and I could not wait to play with the new Rainbow of Happiness Bundle from the JJ catalog and coordinating Sunshine & Rainbows DSP from the SAB catalog! This first card features the ADORABLE Sunshine & Rainbows DSP. This cloud pattern is just so cute! And guess what?!? There is a coordinating cloud punch coming in the new JJ catalog that will be a must have for me! But I was totally fine with fussy cutting a couple cute clouds to go with the cheerful rainbow stamped with the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set in shades of So Saffron, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Magenta Madness and Petal Pink. A couple strips of some of the other cheerful patterns of DSP brought a bit more color in and the Iridescent Rhinestones offered just the right amount of bling. Isn't this just the cutest?!?! Next up is a subtle rainbow card with a sweet little sentiment...You make me happy. The rainbow was created with the awesome Brilliant Rainbow Dies. This die is what sold me on this bundle. I LOVE this die! I arranged the rainbow in shades of Petal Pink, So Saffron, Cinnamon Cider and Calypso Coral on a piece of Very Vanilla. I used a piece of So Saffron from the Subtles 6x6 DSP to peek out from behind the rainbow...kind of like the sun peeing out! I stamped the tiny little hearts and sun rays in Calypso Coral on a Calypso Coral card base. The sweet sentiment was stamped in Cinnamon Cider on a strip of Calypso Coral, with a Very Vanilla bow tucked behind. A bit of bling was added with the Iridescent Rhinestones again. I can already tell these are going to be my new favorite embellishments! These rainbows are going to bring all kinds of happiness! I can not wait to share these and the rest of the amazing JJ and SAB catalog goodies with all of you! Happy Stamping! Be sure to keep on hopping along with us!

Hi everyone, Welcome to my blog. Thanks so much for popping in to see me. On Saturday I posted this card as my entry into the Pootlers team blog hop where we were showcasing new products from the Jan-Jun mini catalogue. I used the fabulous Rainbow of Happiness bundle along with the coordinating Sunshine and Rainbows papers and the 3D Hive embossing folder. Today I am bringing you the video tutorial. And of course I changed it a little bit for the video. I swapped the patterned paper for another design in the same pack and used inks which coordinated with it to build up the rainbow.

Hello! Thanks for joining us on the Create with Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop! We have more fun with the new In Colors for you this week. This time we are pairing Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet together. I am already starting to feel nostalgic about the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle (it will be retiring at the end of June), so it was fun to use it on this card for you. On a white card base, I first added a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock, and then layered another piece cut at 3" x 5 1
