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.

Who wouldn't want to get this beuaty in their mailbox?  So easy with the pattern paper.  Learn to make the Stampin' Up Hues of Happiness Friend card on my blog.
