Hi! Today I've got a special treat for you, a new stamp set from Papertrey Ink called Happy Notes. It's a playful set that offers options for customizing your card to suit your own occasion, creating lists, etc.
I paired the Happy Notes stamp set and dies with the Monthly Moments: Spiral Notebook die here. I stamped flowers down the right of my card using Melon Berry, Sweet Blush, and Limeade Ice. Tucked under the top of my die, I added a die cut Tremendous Tag, and stamped the first part of my sentiment just above.
I love the Happy Notes dies, from the flower and leaf, to the fun arrow die.
This card uses the list stamped on a Limitless Layers: 2 1/4" Hearts die. I added in the With All My Heart stamp set to create a postmark near the top of the heart.
I clipped on a vellum die cut Tremendous Tag and added an embellished die cut heart near the bottom that, cut using the Framed Out #11 die and topped with an Autumn Rose felt heart cut using the Heart-2-Heart #3 die, and a Vintage Cream Be Happy die.
I added a die cut border across the bottom, cut using the Heart Borders die. The arrow image from Happy Note was stamped across the bottom of my card in Simply Chartreuse ink.
And on my last card, I used the arrow image to create a background, using Lavender Moon, Harvest Gold, Sweet Blush, Spring Moss, Melon Berry, and Aqua Mist ink.
I then mixed in images from the Holiday Home stamp set to compliment the theme of my card.
I used the Happy Notes die to create a floral embellishment to finish off this sweet card.
I'm sure you've got plenty of ideas already floating around in your head about how you'll use this set....you'll love it!

I've become too repetitive when leaving comments, Melis, because your cards truly are wonderful each and every time. I love how you've highlighted each occasion with hearts or a house or just cheerful colors. And the multicolored arrow background is so much fun.
Have a great weekend!

You have a unique style all your own Melissa, and I just love it! Your cards always have that touch of "vintage" that I try so hard to immolate, as it's my all time favorite! I always look forward to what's coming next, from you!
