Feathers, sequins and A Happy Hooray from Stampin' Up!

I love the names Stampin' Up gives its products! Colours like Blackberry Bliss and Pistachio Pudding - and you know you're going to have fun with a stamp set called A Happy Hooray!

And I definitely did! I used a combination of gold and Lost Lagoon and a sprinkling of my favourite in colour sequins.

The feather is heat embossed in gold and arranged on a background of the beautiful Watercolour Wonder washi tape and a strip of Lost Lagoon card stock. I snipped out the sentiment and added it - I love the way the top of the 'h' curls up over the washi!

And because I was having so much fun, you get a bonus card today! Here's a design using different elements from the Happy Hooray set.

It's only a few days until my daughter moves away to university and there is a growing pile of 'essentials' that will be going with her, including a plant (named Lillian.) We stood looking at the pile yesterday. "Do you think I've got too many clothes?" she said, and then, before I had a chance to comment, "But I LIKE clothes!"

Don't forget to check in tomorrow when I'll have an exciting new technique to show you as part of the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team blog hop! See you then,

A Happy Hooray for a great big Stampin' Up box

Did I mention that as a member of Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team, I get a great big box of goodies delivered to my door every two minutes? (Okay, that may be a very slight exaggeration!) More about that later but first come and see what happened when I combined baby wipes and reinkers with my new A Happy Hooray stamp set!

This is what happened! I used the wipes and reinkers to make a multi-coloured ink pad.

It's such a simple technique: Fold up a baby wipe, add a few drops of reinker (I used Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette and So Saffron) and use it to ink up your stamps! 

I embellished with a few of the in-colour sequins - I just can't get enough of these and the colours worked beautifully with my feathers!

This is a beautiful sentiment from the A Dozen Thoughts sentiment set. I stamped it in Smoky Slate ink which looks great with all the soft colours in Stampin' Up's Subtles colour family.

I wonder what goes through a UPS delivery man's mind when he sees a half-crazed crafter open the door with ink smeared over her... I think I may have scared mine with the enthusiasm with which I grabbed my box!

Here I am rifling through my gorgeous goodies! Can you tell that I'm ever so slightly pleased ;)
