Well now I'm going to post some things made with the Happiness background stamp. When I first saw it, my thought was to whack that little puppy apart and use it that way. I didn't have a very good idea about how to deal with the pieces but I had to get going on it right away so I dealt with it as an unmounted set. I have to say I'd NEVER be able to deal with all my stamps being unmounted. I'm such a messy stamper...I kept losing my rubber and blocks. Spent more time searching for pieces then stamping.

Happiness 1

Okay...all that aside here is the 1st card that I created with this set (along with Happy Thoughts). It is really a very simple design. it is a 3 x 6 card using Pixie Pink, Whisper White and Basic Black. Two punches (3/4" and 1 1/4") was used to create the circle. A little black gingham ribbon and a black bra dand it's a quick and easy and bright and happy card. I like bright and happy!

At convention we used the Happiness background as one piece. I do think I like it whacked apart. I'm going to ask my dear sweet husband to cut my block and double mount it (like we do some of the alphabet sets). I really think in the long run it will be the best way to work with this. But then...that's just my humble opinion!

Happy Stampin'!
