Three card ideas using Happy Forest Friends

Happy Forest Friends Stampin Up Happier Than Happy card idea

I tried to resist the Happy Forest Friends Suite in the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue but it was inevitable that I would give in sooner or later. Bears, foxes, owls, trees and toadstools... this suite is very much ‘on brand’ for All Things Stampy!

I have been enjoying crafting with the Happier than Happy stamp set and coordinating Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and have a few projects to show you today.

Cup of Tea and Tea Boutique projects

 Cup of Tea Boutique stampin up UK demonstrator Helen Read

The Tea Boutique Suite from Stampin’ Up!® is a fantastic showcase for our new In Colors, so everyone who attended my Craft-Tea Day Out event earlier this month received some of these beautiful Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes.

I’d asked those who had one to bring their Stamparatus so each table could set themselves up to make these five fun cards quickly and efficiently using their Cup of Tea bundles. I love the bright pops of colour from the cups, the flowers and the cards themselves.

Vintage-inspired Tea Boutique projects

Stampin Up Cup of Tea Boutique

Stampin’ Up!® products are not just for cardmaking and my customers had asked if they could decorate a notebook at our all-day Craft-Tea Day Out on Saturday.

I aim to please so came up with this lovely vintage-inspired design using the Cup of Tea Bundle and Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper. I wanted to show the versatility of the Tea Boutique paper by highlighting the more subtle designs on the reverse.

I am in full Tea Boutique mode, preparing for an all-day in-person craft event this weekend.

I won’t show you those projects just yet as I know some of the ladies like them to be a surprise, but here are some Tea Boutique projects which I have been making recently.
