For my project today, I am showcasing the Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set and Happy Little Thoughts Coordinating Dies. The background pattern paper is from the Love & Meows 6×6 Paper Pad that was die-cut using the scallop from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Here’s how I made this card:

• stamp the images on some Neenah solar white card stock and color the images in with alcohol markers.
• die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.
• die-cut the background panel using the scallop die from the Frames & Flags Die Set and Love & Meows 6×6 Paper Pad. Matt this piece with some red card stock for a little dimension and adhere on an A2-size notecard.
• die-cut the small rectangle using the die from the Frames & Flags Die Set and Happy Little Thoughts Coordinating Dies.
• adhere some acetate sheet behind this panel and add foam adhesive to create the shaker well.
• in-lay the colored image on this panel with liquid glue.
• add some clear sequins with a few heart enamels as the shaker element and adhere this panel on the card front.

• stamp the sentiment on some black card stock with versamark ink and sprinkle with white embossing powder. Use heating tool to heat-set the sentiment.
• fussy-cut the sentiment with precision snips and adhere on the card.
• finish the design by adding the bow (die-cut using the bow die from the Baby Bib Die Set) with liquid glue.

I am super bummed that this stamp set is retiring.
