SSS Happy / Merry Mashup

Super  quick card to share today featuring a mashup of my Happy cover with the Merry stamp set that coordinates with the Merry Coverr.

I love that I was able to sneak in the Festivus sentiment on the Merry stamp set.  If you're a Seinfeld aficionado, you'll know what this is all about (Season 9, Episode 10 in case you want to check it out).

I found this completed Happy cover panel when I was cleaning up a couple weeks ago.  I knew I had created another Happy panel, but my space is aways such a mess that things go missing with regularity.  The panel was created using a webbing piece cut from Matte Silver cardstock, and a panel of Holographic Rainbows cardstock which was inlaid into the silver webbing.

The Festivus sentiment was embossed in silver.

Really quick and easy.  Now I just have to figure out which friend gets to be the lucky recipient of a Festivus card.

SSS Happy Cover and Stamps

I'm sharing a few cards today featuring my Happy Cover and coordinating stamps.  

This die is perfect for use with Simon's Color Blend cardstock.  For this first set of cards, I die cut the cover plate using a panel of Color Blend as well as black and white cardstock.  For the card on the left, I inlaid the Color Blend pieces into the black cardstock webbing.

Two of the sentiments from the coordinating stamp set were gold embossed on strips of black cardstock and popped up with foam tape.

Next, the Color Blend webbing was inlaid with the black background pieces as well as the white letter pieces.  The secondary sentiment was stamped on white and popped up.

This next card was done in the same way as the first one, the die cut peices from a Color Blend panel into white webbing.

The nice thing about this cover is that the pieces are pretty big (with the exception of one small piece), so assembling the cards is very quick and easy.

For the secondary sentiment, I combined one of the sentiments from the secondary set along with a reverse sentiment strip.

This last card features another of Simon's specialty cardstock panels, this time Holographic.

I was able to use the leftover pieces from the first set of cards that I made to complete this one, inlaying the black letters and the white background pieces.

For the sentiment, I used just the 'birthday' portion of the Birthday Wishes die which was cut from Matte Silver cardstock.

This was cut twice from white cardstock, layered together for dimension, and then adhered directly to the die cut panel.

That's all for me today.  I'll see you back here tomorrow....there's a new release coming!
