Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! Happy Annual 2024-25 Catalogue Day! I am sharing my Best Day Ever Card using the Online Exclusive Happy Little Things Bundle which includes the Happy Little Things Stamp Set and the Happy Little Things Dies by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Best Day Ever Card

For my card, I thought it would be fun to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) the card that is on the website for the Happy Little Things Bundle but change it up and put my own twist on it by tweaking it with the new 2024–2026 In Color Designer Series Paper and the new Basic Beige to celebrate the launch of the new Annual 2024-25 Catalogue.

So, I stamped the “Celebrate” in Memento first and then in Basic Beige. I found since the Basic Beige is so light that I had to do it in this order. Next, I stamped the heat embossed sentiment on Basic Black and used my white embossing powder and heat tool. This sentiment was die cut using the smaller die in the Happy Little Things Bundle. The final stamping was the Basic Beige in opposite corners on the Basic White card stock.

Next, I die cut a strip from each of the In Colors DSPs using the larger flag in the die set. To line the flags up, I used my grid paper with a ¼” separation between the colours. I added seal to the back of the “Celebrate” sentiment and laid it across the DSP making sure that it was towards the top of the centre point to help with the balance of my focal point. I added dimensionals to the back of the DSP and laid it onto the Basic White piece.

Finally, I added a mini dimensionals on each of the 3 right flags directly beneath the “Celebrate” sentiment for the overlapping Basic Black sentiment.

The finishing touch was to add one of each color of the 2024–2026 In Color Shimmer Gems to my card.
