Be Happy | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning!

What with one thing or another, I’ve not managed much crafting of late, let alone sharing anything I’ve made.

But I did manage to get something made for this week’s Daring Cardmakers challenge.

Shabneez wants to see you feature the word Happy on a card, and well, I had a die just for the job:

Card inspiration from Handmade by Natty featuring The Stamp Market Jumbo Happy Birthday

Stamps: The Stamp Market – Everyday Greetings, The Stamp Market – Happiest of Birthdays, The Stamp Market – Confetti Background
Dies: The Stamp Market – Everyday Greetings, The Stamp Market – Happiest of Birthdays, The Stamp Market – Jumbo Happy Birthday, The Stamp Market – Postage Stamp

I started out by cutting the jumbo Happy letters from various shades of cardstock from The Stamp Market.

I flipped through my stash of background dies to find the right panel that the letters would comfortably fit in on an A2 card, and realised the Postage Stamp background die would be the perfect way to also incorporate some birthday confetti with a background stamp and blush ink.

I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Everyday Greetings set, and as a final finishing touch added a little stamped bow from the Happiest of Birthdays set.

Make sure you check out the fun projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!
