Color Me Happy project kit 'Celebrate' Card

I made this card using the products from a retired Stampin' Up! project kit. Unfortunately this kit is no longer available but you may still have one lurking in the cupboard like me so hopefully you'll find these instructions useful, or be able to use the card as inspiration!

To complete the kit according to the instructions, you also need to have the Color Me Happy stamp kit. The first step is to stamp the lanterns on the white card panel in black memento ink, using the picture as a guide. This took several goes to get it right; some of my lanterns were floating off in mid-air and had to have their string extended a bit with a black pen! Whilst you've got your ink out, stamp the celebrate sentiment on the small piece of Pool Party card.

Colour the lanterns in your colour choice, including the separate die cut. The suggested colours are Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie which I used. Adhere the die cut lantern over the top one with dimensional foam pads.

    Thread the tassel onto the string and wrap round panel. Adhere to the back of the panel with tape.

Fold the card base in half along score line and burnish crease. Adhere the gold tape to the card, then adhere the panel to the card, slightly overlapping the gold tape.

Adhere the sentiment and decorate with star sequins.

The Color Me Happy stamp set has some lovely images but I particularly love these lanterns, they would be great for Chinese New Year!

Thanks for reading!
