Happy Moments

I have been interstate for work this week and was so dying to get home so that I could play with my Sale-A-Bration goodies well finally last night I got the chance - YEAH.

I have been wanting to do an acetate (clear) card for some time, but was struggling to come up with a design I liked. Well when the Happy Moments Stamp Set came out in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue I got a bit of a brain wave (it happens occasionally - lol).


This card uses some new Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! called Kaleidoscope which is available now in the Summer Mini Catalogue. I have to say I wasn't entirely sure about this paper as it uses colours that I haven't really used, but I really liked the way this set turned out.

I used the parcel stamp from the Happy Moments stamp set, and stamped it on three different papers and pieced it together. As I had cut off the bow from the stamp (it was way to hard to cut out), I replaced it with some linen thread.

Some So Saffron ribbon finished the card perfectly.

I also made a pillow box from acetate and used the same design to decorate it.

It has turned out to be a beautiful day today in Melbourne, I hope you all are having a great day too - no matter what the weather is doing in your 'neck of the woods'.
