“Happiness Abounds” Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! The tutorial I’m sharing with you today uses a simple card layout combined with our beautiful new “Happiness Abounds” stamp set!

These stamps are also available with a set of coordinating dies that you can purchase as a bundle, or even better, as an entire suite! The “Hues of Happiness Suite” includes incredibly beautiful 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and glossy dots embellishments.

The “Hues of Happiness Suite” is so popular it’s already on our low inventory list, so you may want to order soon!

To colour the stamped images I used both our Stampin’ Blends Markers and ink pads with a water painter. I hope you enjoy today’s tutorial!
