A while back, I told you how I had colored a detailed panel of the All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper but then edited it out of the project I was working on. OK, so that was yesterday. Well, I used that paper on the card I’m sharing with you today – it was perfect for the sentiment I’m showcasing on it. Here’s my card:
Here’s a look at the Good Feelings stamp set, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog. I received it during Stampin’ Up!’s online catalog reveal for demonstrators and couldn’t be happier. I love the big sentiments – they are filled with happiness. I’m also excited that you can order the set when Stampin’ Up!’s new catalog goes live on May 3. Here’s a look at Good Feelings:
As you already know from reading my introduction (you read it, right?), I colored a black-and-white piece of the All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to build the backdrop on this card. The panel I colored is the sixth pattern on the top row below:
I love black-and-white papers because I can add my own colors when and where I want (but I’m also not obligated to do so). I colored each of the tiny leaves in this panel of paper with my Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Marker. Since I knew I would have a panel in the middle, I didn’t color those (I had originally anticipated a much smaller panel on top, so I colored more than I needed to – nothing wrong with a little extra coloring time):
When I set out to make today’s card, I already had the Pool Party base, Pear Pizzazz layer and All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper that make up the base of the card. The focal panel, which I popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, is built with proportionate dimensions to the base of the card for (what I think is) a soothing look. Here are the dimensions of the layers on this card, starting with the base and working up to the sentiment:
- Pool Party – 4-1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″)
- Pear Pizzazz – 4″ x 5-1/4″
- All Together 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Pool Party – 3-1/8″ x 4-3/8″
- Pear Pizzazz – 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Basic White – 2-3/4″ x 4″
I hope you like today’s card – and will add this Good Feelings stamp set to your 2022 Annual Catalog wish list – if it’s not already there. ♥

What a fabulous card you’ve made for us today Brian. It just screams spring to me and the layering is fantastic. I must say that the stamp says it all. Love it. Thank you for sharing!
A happy feeling card with those sweet leaves and sentiment.
LOVE coloring this black and white DSP. Your card is PERFECT!
Love
What a great card! Sometimes you just need a good “thinking of you” card. I love the colors you chose!
Brian thanks for always reminding us of the great techniques, some of us seem to forget 😄. You were right, you put this mat to great use, perfect for this card. Not wasting time on filling in the middle…so smart!
Your coloring is awesome and the sweet sentiment is so uplifting. Love the layers, too. Enjoy your day!
Meticulous layering as always. [Gets me every time!]
Love that the elements of yesterday’s card and today’s are almost identical but that a DSP and sentiment change can alter not just the look but the FEEL of the card. Great lesson via 2 great cards~Bravo!
bold message and simple design. well done!
Love Pool Party & Pear Pizzaz together! The font flows beautifully with the line art of the leaves 👏👏🙂
