You Are My Happy Cards

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a few cards on the Teresa Collins Designs team blog.  I thought I'd add them here, too!  They feature the new You Are My Happy collection:

The first one features some of the great ephemera pieces from the You Are My Happy Ephemera Pack:

The tag with the little heart cut out of it was my favorite piece from the ephemera pack.  It's simple but so perfect for a card!  I popped it up and added the square of striped paper that came in the ephemera pack to the back.  The 2 is also from the pack- you get 0-9 and can use these in so many ways!

Can you see the shine on those little hearts behind the sentiment?  They are the prettiest shade of rose gold- something you'll see on quite a few pieces in the You Are My Happy collection.  It is such an awesome detail!  The letter stickers and 'us' sticker are from the You Are My Happy Sticker Accessory Sheet and the Best Friends banner is from the You Are My Happy Chipboard Elements package.  I had fun with the layers on this one!

My next card is a clean and simple card using a cut out from the Hello Tags patterned paper:

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this hello cut out.  I simply popped it up on my coral cardbase and added a strip of patterned paper (Shooting Arrows) along the bottom edge.  I embellished it simply using a few of the pretty sequins from the You Are My Happy collection.

For my next card, I started with the medium file folder as my base- I love the floral polaroid on it:

I splattered a bit of shimmery mist in the center and added the polka-dot hexagon sticker from the You Are My Happy Sticker Accessory Sheet.  I added the rose gold border strip next and then the chipboard heart from You Are My Happy Chipboard Elements.  I added my sentiment stamp next to my cluster and then added the banners and brad to the top left corner.  These banner flags can be found in the You Are My Happy Ephemera Pack and the brad is from the You Are My Happy Decorative Brads. Lastly, I added a few sequins around the heart and on the file folder tab.  They are such a pretty element- I love how they add a little sparkle!

I love how this next one turned out!  Do you recognize the embossing?  It's from one of Teresa's new 8 1/2 x 11" embossing folders from her Ebosser line:

Isn't the embossing pretty?  I love it!  After embossing my card front, I picked out the heart tag from the You Are My Happy Ephemera Pack and added it to the right side.  Next, I added the two borders along the bottom.  I stuck the pink chipboard piece next and then splattered my shimmery mist over the card.  To finish off the look, I added a few sequins and the sentiment which is a sticker from the You Are My Happy Sticker Accessory Sheet.  I popped up the sentiment sticker and added some twine to give some dimension to my card.

 

I was so inspired by the new You Are My Happy collection!  The colors and patterns are so me right now- I have more cards and even a scrapbook page or two planned in my head!  I can't wait to find some more time to spend creating!  I know you'll love it too!
