Hello friends and Happy Easter. Today's blog is all about a new Lawn Fawn stamp set (with coordinating dies) called "Happy, Happy, Happy" (pictured below). This is a very clever and useful stamp set that can be used to make cards for many occasions. The coordinating dies cut out the three "Happys" which are different in size, font and script.
My first sample combines one of the happy's with three of the other words in the set. I colored the words in an ombre fashion with Copic markers and added a strip of one of Lawn's Fawn's new papers and some sequins.Happy Thoughts – Lawn Fawn stamp set with coordinating dies Happy, Happy, Happy; design inspired by Nancy Sheads
For this card I selected cardstock in primary colors then stamped the "Happy" in a matching ink. 5 Happys – Lawn Fawn stamp set with coordinating dies Happy, Happy, Happy; design inspired by Latisha Yoast
For this card I stamped each "Happy" in Versamark ink then heat embossed them in white. Next I cut them out and mounted them on a Stitched Rectangle matted with a Postage Rectangle. 4 Happys – Lawn Fawn stamp set with coordinating dies Happy, Happy, Happy; My Favorite Things die Brushstroke Greetings (last “happy); Memory Box die Postage Rectangles and Stitched Rectangles; design inspired by Chari Moss
Next I made a Pop-Up Box which honestly looks a lot better IRL than in this photo.

Here are the products I used on this card: Lawn Fawn dies Little Flowers and Thanks Line Border; Taylored Expressions die Open Scallop Border and Stitched Rectangles; design inspired by Kelly Marie Alvarez The Stitched Garden Border lets you plant flowers or vegetables and bunnies can be tending your garden if you use the Some Bunny stamp and dies. Friends are Flowers – Lawn Fawn dies Little Flowers, Quilted Backdrop and Stitched Garden Border; Lawn Fawn clear stamp set Some Bunny; design inspired by Kelly Marie Alvarez
The new Quilted Backdrop is a real favorite of mine. The tiny four-petal flowers pop out when die cut and the openings reveal the paper behind the die. It's so pretty and delicate and perfect for spring. Thanks So Much – Lawn Fawn dies Little Flowers and Quilted Backdrop; Taylored Expressions dies Banner Day 1 (with coordinating stamps) and Frame in Frame 2; design inspired by Lizzy Criman
The Spring Sprig die is a small set but it can make the card as it does in the one above. All the flowers and greenery, except the two yellow flowers, are from the Spring Sprig set. Hello Friend – Lawn Fawn dies Spring Sprig, Little Flowers and Quilted Backdrop; Taylored Expressions dies Banner Day 1 (with coordinating stamps) and Frame in Frame 2; design inspired by Lynette Kaufman
Isn't this the cutest card? The Spring Sprig can make a complete wreath or simply frame the bunny as it does here. Again the Quilted Backdrop is perfect for such a sweet card.

Hello Friends and Merry Christmas! It's crunch time for all of us so if you still have "make Christmas cards" on your list or if you want to start on next year's stash, I've got some great ideas for you. Not only are these handsome cards quick to make, but you need only a few inexpensive supplies -- all available at The Stamp Act. Yeah!
The cards start with this 12" x 12" acetate sheet of Christmas designs from PinkFresh Studio's Oh Joy collection. The sheet is printed in bright gold on heavy acetate. Each sheet yields at least 10 focal images and costs only $2.00!
PinkFresh Studio Gold Acetate Oh Joy Christmas sheet $2.00
I also used PinkFresh Studio's Oh Joy 6" x 6" paper pad. You will love this paper pad and be pleasantly surprised by the heavy weight of the paper. The images are unique and each pad of 32 pages has 2 each of 16 designs. Here's a link so you can see the individual designs. The paper pad is $7.00.
PinkFresh Studio Oh Joy paper pad 6" x 6" $7.00
To add sparkle and shine to the cards I used gold and red glitter tape from Best Creation. It's great as an adhesive, a border or just an accent.
Here are the cards I made with these supplies. For this first card, I cut the packages image in half so I could make two cards with it.I adhered the acetate to a white card with the red glitter tape; stamped the sentiment (Taylored Expressions In & Out Christmas) and embossed it in white; and added gold stars (die cut from gold mirror cardstock with Taylored Expressions Starry Nights die).
For this card I used a sheet of paper printed with the packages from the Oh Joy paper pad and added the Christmas lights die cut with the TE Skinny Mini Borders Christmas. I die cut them from white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers, glued them to the card and added Glossy Accents to the top of each bulb. The sentiment is from TE's In & Out Christmas stamp set.
This is a quicky card. Mount the acetate image over the decorative paper and adhere to the card with tape or glue. Add some gold glitter tape as an accent to the top and the Joy (TE Script Joy) die cut from white glitter paper. Done!
For this pretty card simply adhere the decorative paper to a white card and cut aout 3/4" off the bottom of the front panel. Adhere the acetate border (I used Tombow Mono Multi glue) to the bottom of the front panel, die cut the sentiment (Poppystamps Old Fashioned Merry Christmas) from gold mirrorcard and adhere it above the acetate border. Add a few sequins and you're done! The next card is just as easy. Cut the mistletoe panel, adhere with glitter tape over decorative paper (adhered to a white card) and add a festive sentiment (Penny Black stamp set Festive Snippets).
Love this next card -- probably because it's so colorful! Again adhere the decorative paper to a white card and color in the trees with a green Copic marker. Die cut the Gift Stack solid background (Impression Obsession) from red cardstock, and the gift stack outline image from red striped and green polka dot papers. Cut the gift stack outline from white cardstock and adhere it over the red cardstock background. Paper piece or inlay the stripe and dot papers and add a sweet sentiment (Penny Black).
Here's where I used the other half of the packages acetate image. Same design as the first card above.
Another pretty card with decorative paper (Memory Box), gold acetate image and gold glitter tape. I added a snowflake cut from gold mirrorcard.
Same design as the cards above with a sentiment (Taylored Expressions Deck the Halls) that matches the swags of lights.
Another quickie using decorative paper, a sentiment embossed in white and mounted on top of gold glitter tape with a few stars.
Similiar design on this card.
