Stampin’ Up Hues of Happiness Friend
Hello Everyone – the colors used for the Stampin’ Up Hues of Happiness Friend creation are so bright and vibrant!
To me dark colors make other colors pop. Usually I use black but on today’s card I found the Night of Navy had the same effect. This card has the same layout as the stack, cut, and shuffle technique but only made 1 card. I love that technique but don’t always need a bunch of cards. I can get the same look using simple cuts and 4 sheets of pattern paper. This is a good technique to use if you have small scraps left off and aren’t sure what to do with them.
The Hues of Happiness pattern paper has lots of bold colors and fun images. It is the perfect paper for Summer cards.
I began by cutting my layer and then deciding how wide I wanted my panels to be. Then I just needed to put it all together. To decorate the inside of the card and envelope I went looking for a simple stamp and used it.
Check out the patterns I used from this pattern paper to make the card.
The Hues of Happiness pattern paper has beautiful patterns with bright bold colors. This idea let’s the paper do all the work for a colorful card front. The watercolor looking paper used on this card gives you lots of options for your card front.
Here are all the details!
