The Stampin’ Up! Happy Hour stamp set feels like something straight out of an episode of Mad Men. You can mix, swizzle and garnish in chic, retro style using paper and ink. This card is for my niece, Kris Kilcoyne, for her wonderful friendship and all the support she provides as my administrative assistant to keep my Stampin’ Up! business organized, successful and fun!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Mixing Calypso Coral, Summer Starfruit and Soft Suede creates a splashy rewind to the 1960’s.
- The layout is graphic and clean for this 5″ square card. It works well as a masculine card, too.
- The 5 1/2″ square envelope was created using the Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Simply Scored Diagonal Plate.
- Here’s my Simply Scored Diagonal Plate Measurement Chart for creating today’s 5 1/2″ square envelope and many additional sizes.

Congratulations on being on the Advisory board for this year, Mary! What a great group of ladies! So excited to see some familiar faces (including my upline, Desiree!!)
