Stawberry Slush Happenings

Today is my final post using the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit.  This is a great kit because it includes everything you need to make 15 cards quickly and easily.  You only need to add sentiments (I used the Thanks and Hello Stamp Set) and adhesive.

Even though the product description on my Stampin' Up website states that these cards will finish 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" - I found the notecards included were smaller.  I added my own card bases to allow the cards to finish at the standard A2 size.

 

The card above can be made with the elements included in the kit and is quick and easy to make.  Then I started mixing some the background papers as well as using some of my Stampin' Up punches to create new elements.  The heart element included in the kit is the same size as Stampin' Up's Full Heart Punch.  So I took one of the Strawberry Slush Circles and cut a heart.  The banner card below was cut using the Triangle Punch from the 2014 Occasions catalog.

 

 

For this last card, I added a strip of Smoky Slate embossed with the Scallops TIEF.

 

 

Whether you keep the cards simple or add new creative elements, this is a fun card kit and one that I hope you will try.

Pear Pizzazz Happenings

Welcome back to the second card in my series of posts featuring the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit from Stampin' Up.  Today's layout was inspired by Unscripted Sketches #245.

 

I switched out the larger circle element in the sketch for a banner. This was one of the die cut elements included in the card kit.  I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate and threaded some of the baker's twine through a button and tied a bow.

Bermuda Bay Happenings

Hello.  Today's card was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #124.

For the next couple posts I am going to feature cards I made from the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit.  I love this kit because it includes card bases, envelopes, layering sheets, die cut elements, silver baker's twine and buttons.  I wanted my finished cards to measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", so I added my own card bases in a variety of colors.  The sentiments are from the Thanks and Hello Stamp Set.
