Hues of Happiness Birthday and Anniversary Cards

I put up a quick post earlier this year of some cards featuring the Hues of Happiness Suite from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

Here are my latest cards using this suite (plus some sentiments from other sets). There are dies that cut out the flowers and leaves on the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP), as well as the cut out pattern on the white mat that allows the color of the card base to peak through. In this case, the card base is Melon Mambo.

These designer papers are just GORGEOUS! There are dies to cut out three different flower types on the first two patterns on the left. The paper is double sided, and you can see the flip side next to each sheet in the photo. This is located on page 109 in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

I stamped a flower on the inside corner, as well as on the envelope flap. Stamping makes it so so easy to coordinate your envelopes and insides of your cards. I LOVE the glossy dots that come with the suite. They are super bright and they are smooth and flat, which makes them ideal for sending through the mail without worrying about the dots going through the envelope.

I used a birthday sentiment from the Flowering Tulips set (page 27 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog).

Same card here, but in Gorgeous Grape. The sentiment is from a retired set called All Year Cheer III, an oldie but goodie! You can never have enough sentiments! The sentiments and mats for them were die cut using the Stitched Rectangles. I love the look of the stitched edges!

Awash In Beauty Cards

I am having a lot of fun with this new suite of products, which includes the True Beauty stamp set, Organic Beauty dies, and Awash In Beauty designer paper.

For the card above, I used a Balmy Blue card base, then a layer of Merry Merlot and a layer of the designer paper. The rose was stamped in Merry Merlot and Granny Apple Green, the floral spray of flowers in Balmy Blue, and the sentiment in Merry Merlot. I added three In-Color Glossy Dots in Pale Papaya because no card is complete without a little bling! 🙂

The Awash In Beauty designer papers are SO PRETTY! They can be cards all by themselves! I simply cut the paper and glued it to card bases in Merry Merlot, Balmy Blue, So Saffron, and Polished Pink. I used a sentiment from Happiness Abounds and die cut it with one of the stitched rectangles dies. So simple!

This suite is on page 67 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. You can view the catalogs HERE.
