Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper Tutorial

My TWENTY TWENTY-ONE card Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper Tutorial is available!

But Wait - there are actually more than twenty! Seven of the card layouts used different sections of the DSP as well as different colors. This is a GREAT tutorial, trust me! You receive access to many of my diagrams that you can download and save to use with EVERY package of DSP you have or will purchase!

This DSP caught my eye with all the bright colors and how they worked so well with each other. I didn't want to purchase another stamp set and die, so I challenged myself to use the DSP without them. Stampin' Up! did not make this easy. They have not creating great pattern flow in their DSP lately, to be honest. I don't think there was a 3" x 12" section that contained only one dominate color. You'll easily be able to tell, what section I used for my cards because of the color photos.

What did I use?

1. Butterflies and small flower punches. Why? Because butterflies, dragonflies, birds, flowers are all interchangeable. Just swap out the element and boom, the card still works without the butterfly. Many cards just highlighted the DSP.
2. Different sentiments - we all have them!
3. Substituted colors - I didn't have Mango Melody or Gorgeous Grape. Easy peasy, I substituted with retired colors. I was able to use an all-time favorite color - Elegant Eggplant!
4. Punches and Dies: Banners, Butterfly, Flower, Leaves, Rectangle dies, Sentiment shape
5. Used my own stash - yes, chances are you won't have them. Don't worry, you can find coordinating pieces in your Hues of Happiness that you can substitute.  I made three cards using the same colors as the Hues of Happiness DSP but I used other DSP that had muted patterns (in the same color), such as gingham and dots. I did this to show you how easy it is to blend different DSP together.

This tutorial can be yours FREE with your $75 Stampin' Up! purchase using my Hostess Code. The deadline for placing an order and receiving this FREE is September 30, 2022. 

The tutorial is available for purchase for $17.95. It is well worth $17.95. Once you open the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper you purchased and see how challenging it will be to create cards, you'll be glad I created this tutorial.

Introducing the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper Tutorial

The best part, I created six FUN FOLDS out of the twelve  THIRTEEN cards. You will receive diagrams that you can use for your cardmaking - How cool is that?

Do you have note card envelopes that you want to use up? At PIZZAZZ to your note card with my Note Card Fun Fold Tutorial.  My sister gifted me extra invitation envelopes and three weeks later, I finished creating ten ELEVEN fun fold cards using small card basis. The envelope size for the cards is known as an A1 envelope. These are the same envelopes included in Stampin' Up!'s Note Cards and Envelopes - 5 1/8" x 3 5/8". Some of my fun folds use larger card bases than those of SU's Note Cards and Envelopes.  

This tutorial includes the following for ten fun folds

• Measurements
• Photos
• Diagrams for score and cutting for each card
• Most diagrams are to scale making it easier to having sized cards to refer to.

This tutorial was created to make smaller versions of the FUN fun folds you've seen on Pinterest and YouTube. I created this tutorial to you to WOW the recipient - Big things come in small packages! Use what you have in your craft studio, including different cardstock, paper, dies, punches and embellishments.
