Happy Cards! NEW Simon/CZ Design Release!

Happy Saturday, all! I’m back with some cards made using the sketches I shared earlier this week. I sketched out 10 card ideas using the new release from Simon Says Stamp. You can see the entire release HERE.


(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

I made three cards today. The first card is a tall slimline card that I designed to go with this envelope that I created 2 years ago. It uses the Happy Days stamp set from CZ Design. I used the vertical “HAPPY” and stamped it multiple times to create a band across the card. I colored the letters in with colored pencils and added details with a white gel pen.

To finish off the card, I stamped and silver heat embossed a greeting from the same stamp set.

The other two cards are similar and are based on the idea of adhering strips of solid-colored cardstock together before die cutting. I used Hero Arts cardstock and then cut out the Chunky Happy die.
