*Happiest Place* Blog Hop!

Welcome to our BLOG HOP!

Today, my creative Close to my

Heart consultant friends and I

are sharing what we've created

using the HAPPIEST PLACE

collection that includes beautiful

patterned papers (12 designs!),

silver foil patterned cardstock,

a sticker sheet, a stamp set,

cricut cuts, and black 

acrylic shapes!

If you just arrived here from

BECCA's BLOG,

then you are on the right track.

Today I'm sharing a card I made that features

an old card-making trend, that I've started to notice

is making a comeback... the 8" x 3.5" card size!

(also known as a "slimline" card).

One of the things I love about making cards this

size is that they can so easily be mailed in a 

business-sized envelope, which adds an extra

element of surprise for the recipient of this 

kind of "happy mail."

In addition to the Happiest Place Stamp set and Thin Cuts

(CC7206) that I used to stamp the balloon and hearts inside

the balloon, I also used the Magical Alphabet (D1937) and

Little Buddies (C1856) stamp sets, as well.

Ink colors I used are Archival Black and Lagoon.

Cardstock colors include a little bit of Black, Canary, Candy

Apple, and Mink, alongside a striped print and a strip of

holographic-star printed cardstock (Canary) from the

Happiest Place paper collection.

Now you can continue on with the blog hop

collection by visiting MISS CARRIE's BLOG next!
