If you have been following the blog hop in order, you have just come from Yapha's post featuring the bundle Just Sayin'. Yapha has some beautiful projects! Today I will show you some projects using the set Happy Congratulations.
Birthday Card - I always start off playing with a new stamp set by creating a straight-forward card or two. This set naturally lends itself to strings of paper lanterns across a portrait-oriented card.
Stamps: Happy Congratulations, Express Yourself; Paper; Basic Gray, Whisper White; Ink: So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, Pacific Point, Basic Gray, Basic Gray marker; Accessories: White baker's twine, Perfect Polka Dot EF, Big Shot, Dimensionals.
Happy New Year! - The recent Artisan Blog Hop project by Jen Timko inspired me to create a shimmery gold New Year's card. There are many gold-toned products in the Occasions catalog, which coordinate so well together! The dotted washi tape just says "party".
Stamps: Happy Congratulations, Happy Hour; Paper: Whisper White, Gold Foil Sheet; Ink: Summer Starfruit marker, Gold Metallic Encore Pad; Accessories: Rhinestone jewels, Watercolor Wonder washi tape.
Chinese New Year Party Ensemble -When I first saw this set, I thought about using it for a Chinese New Year-themed party. This year is the Year of the Horse, falling on January 31. The ensemble includes a party invitation in a Gold Fancy Foil vellum envelope, gold coin mini envelope, and fortune cookie and take-out box party favors.
Pull the invitation out of the stitched vellum envelope to get a closer look.

Wonderful projects, Heidi! Love the paper lanterns and how you showcased them here. As usual, all of your projects are inspiring; the Chinese New Year ensemble is simply WOW. Thanks for the inspiration!
What amazing projects! The first two cards sold me on the set, and the Chinese New Year ensemble clinched the deal. What amazing projects!

Just a few months ago, my Uncle wanted me to make an invitation with Chinese lanterns on them and I couldn't find an image anywhere. Ta Da! Love what you did with this set.
Holy Heidi! You really went to town with this set. I love them all! That Chinese New Year ensemble is amazing, and the first 2 cards are still dancing on my head. I can't pick a favorite. They are all too wonderful :)
WOW Awesome as always!!! You really rocked this set!! I love the layout of the first set of cards. I love the new years card brilliant! The Chinese set fun and adorable!!
Delightful set of projects! I appreciate seeing all the different occasions this can be used for. Please tell your daughter the "clink" is the perfect touch on the second card. Another creative genius in the making:)
I think your mojo is intact. Holey Moley! I love them all. The cards to start are very cool and then the Chinese New Year ensemble is perfect! I love the clink marks!
I really love the bright colors in the second lantern card, but adore the layers and embossing in the first card. Such talent at keeping a simple card balanced and interesting . Your New Years card and Chinese new year ensemble are favorites! Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Fabulous projects, Heidi! You really did an amazing job with this set. I love the first cards and can't wait to see your tutorial on Monday. The Chinese New Year ensemble was awesome, and kudos to Janeke for the "noise" suggestion.
