Expanding Greeting Card Details
There’s “So Much Happy” about today’s card! This Bundle includes the most amazing HAPPY die. Wait until you see it in action!
The Bundle includes dies for the balloons and the banners, too. I used my Stampin’ Blends Markers to add color to the banner tips. Stampin’ Up!’s color coordination makes designing a breeze!
Wondering how to adhere those narrow die cut letters? The new foam adhesive sheets can be die cut right along with the cardstock. Watch today’s video for tips on using them.
Decorate the tri-fold panels with simple images from the So Much Happy stamp set. Not only do the images bring continuity to your card but they brighten up the surrounding signatures and sentiments.

What die cutting machine are you using?
Demise thank you so much for stopping in to watch! In this video I used the Stampin’ Up! Big Shot. It has been discontinued by Stampin’ Up! because on Tuesday August 4th a new die cutting machine will debut. The Stampin’ Cut @ Emboss Machine is found in the Annual Catalog. Item #149653. the machine comes along with Base Plate, Die Plate, 2 Cutting Plates and 1 Specialty Plate. It is going to be an awesome machine. This machine folds for easy storage.
