Happier Than Happy

by Bonnie Hershfeldt, August 15, 2022

When is autumn coming?  Summer drags on and on.   Lol!!!!  It's been so hot everywhere!  Our temperature today in Frederick, CO was 84 - yippee.  First day in what seems like ages that we were under 90 today.  Looks like the rest of the week is going to be under 90 - thank goodness!  It's not sweater weather yet - but one can be hopeful!  

Last night I worked on a kit from my upline, Joey Hartman.  I have a number that I had been setting aside while I worked on my high school reunion.  It was so good to pick up and finish one kit!  And it was such a cute one using the Happy Forest Friends Suite Collection.  What a sweet bunch of forest cuties!  I sat down today and made 5 more precious cards!  


The bear, fox and owl are such great friends!  The Happier Than Happy Cling Stamp Set contains 15 sweet images.  A happy bear waving hello, a curious little owl, whimsical watercolor style, everyday sentiments.  The Happier Than Happy Stamp Set is the perfect stamp set to brighten someone's day or to welcome a new baby into the world! Perfectly sized for cardmaking, this stamp set also features mushrooms, a tree stump, and other forest-themed images for you to easily create your own little scene.

The Happy Forest Dies contains 22 dies.  Create your own little forest scene with the Happy Forest Dies!  Cut out cute forest friends and forest botanicals in a flash.  Use with earth-toned paper for a natural look, or get adventurous and try uncommon color combinations for a whimsical feel!

The Happy Forest Friends 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper is possibly the cutest paper you will ever buy!  With soft watercolor textures and patterns and illustrations of forest creatures and scenes, these gorgeous designs are perfect for all baby, child, and season-themed projects.  You'll also find the designs to be very easy to use—simply cut out your desired scene for a whimsical card front.

The soft palate of coordinating colors include:  


In addition to the sentiments within the Happy Forest I used 2 sentiments from Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set - "Hello" and "to a friend that makes me smile" as the animal images truly did make me smile!  





The Happy Forest 12" x 12" DSP doesn't really need much to create a finished card!  Add a simple sentiment, a little ribbon (Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack comes in the suite collection), and some embellishments (Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins).  I used one of the long edged dies from the Blossoming Happiness Dies to create a unique edge to the DSP - it looks like a piece of paper pulled from a spiral bound notebook. Isn't that clever?

When you order the Happy Forest Friends Suite Collection from my online store, your order will qualify for a free Sale-A-Bration product!  


16 days are left for Sale-A-Bration!  I checked inventory this evening and so far the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes and the Tree Lot Dies are the only Sale-A-Bration products sold out.  

I was so excited about the newer products that were added a couple of weeks ago.  I have replenished my silver foil papers just in time for Christmas Card creating.
