I coulda split these into a few different posts but I have so much that I want to share with you all. A new catalog just around the corner (in January) that I decided to post it all at once. The video is also longer than my normal video it is jam pack with lots of tips for this fun Happy die. 

The video can be view below or view it on my YouTube channel

All is explained in the video on how to die cut so you have the perfect match for the diagonal paper.

This next batch of cards I call it the window view. The Happy is die-cut on the card base so it is like a window you can see the inside of the card through the Happy opening. How to die cut again it is all in the video and how you get the perfect match layer.

The Happy Showcase 

Tip for the Happy Die by Stampin'Up!

This is what I call my Happy stash of cards. In the stamp set So Much Happy, you have different greetings for different celebrations. Include birthday, graduation, to celebrate you (perfect for a promotion, expecting parents, new job and so on), to have you in my life, to know you (great for just because) and so very. 
This is a set that didn’t get my attention at first. Long story short is, I order it by error, well it was a great error because I love every card that I created with this set. 
I hope I inspired you with all these cards and now it is on your wish list if you don’t already have it.
