I've used the Filled with Happiness a couple of times since purchasing it a couple of months ago, but I only used it to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit or Copy And Share Everything) other demonstrators...until Wednesday when I got this super amazing stamp set out to create on camera during What's Up! Stampers on Facebook Live..
Since I was fresh off of OnStage with a crazy busy schedule upon my return, it was an interesting What's Up! with a lot of "oopsies" and "where is thats." Everyone who watched was extremely patient as I fumbled through making a card and shared some new product I received at OnStage.If you'd like to see me make the card featured in this blog post AND you need some good entertainment, head on over to Facebook to watch - you don't even have to have a Facebook account to watch!

Enough of the card tease. Let's get down to business...
The card I made looked a little rough since things didn't go completely smoothly. 😂 BUT, I cleaned it up for sharing here.
I made this card using just four pieces of paper.
Thick Basic White cardstock:
-4 1/4" x 11", scored in half at 5 1/2"
-Second largest of the Pernnial Postage Dies
Brights 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper:
-4" x 5 1/4"
Pumpkin Pie cardstock:
-3" x 4 1/4"
I first stamped the oval stamp in Pumpkin Pie ink on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then punched out the center. I lined the Pumpkin Pie cardstock onto the postage die cut and marked the left, right, top and bottom of the oval opening with a pencil. I removed the Pumpkin Pie frame and stamped the image again on the postage die with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, making sure the citrus portion of the stamp was within the markings I had put on the cardstock. I colored the image using Stampin' Blends (Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight), then adhered the Pumpkin Pie frame back over the colored image using Stampin' Dimensionals. The white 3/4" Herringbone Ribbon made the perfect finishing strip across the center of the card.
Who wouldn't have a good day when they receive this card? It's so fun and cheery! The inspiration of the card came from products coming in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, and I can't wait to share those with you! I'll be sharing soon in my Catalog Kick-off Facebook group, so don't miss a thing! Join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/amyrichcatalogkickoff.
See you there!

That’s a beautiful card! I have to always plan everything ahead; I never could put something so beautiful together on the “fly” 😂. It takes a lot of talent to be so creative without prior planning! 🥰
