Dies R Us - BE HAPPY!

Hello, my friends!

I'm back up on the Dies R Us blog today with a new inspiration post!

Here's what I made:

I wanted to make something pretty, that might encourage you,

and maybe even make you happy! :o)

I started with the Sizzix Artful Dwellings Die by Tim Holtz.

I cut all four pieces from: chipboard, decorative paper, and yellow cardstock.

I adhered the decorative paper to the front of each piece, 

and then inked all the edges.

Here's the back:

I added yellow cardstock hinges to the back of the pieces

before covering them with the yellow cardstock cuts. 

I then inked all around the back too. 

I then grabbed some fun texture stamps,

and did some stamping over the front of the dwellings.

I cut/embossed/inked all the words from yellow cardstock,

using the Girlie Grunge Labels Die.

I chose a series of words that I thought would be fun.

It's like the active process to becoming happy! 

First we "HOPE FOR HAPPY".

I added a little punched/layered flower, and some pretty Stickles dots.

Next, we "IMAGINE HAPPY".

I added a few more Stickles dots for a little sparkle.

Then we "CREATE HAPPY".

Maybe by making a fun project like this one!

I added another punched flower, and more Stickles dots.

Finally, the process helps us "BE HAPPY"! 

One smaller flower, along with more sparkle!

There you have it! 

I hope you enjoy my fun project!

I'll be back soon with more!
