There's prizes up for grabs too (yeah!!) To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is leave a comment on EACH of the designers posts and you could get your hands on a $50 gift certificate to spend in the HLS store ..... wouldn't that be nice!
There's plenty of time to join in the fun, the Hop is open until October 31st. Just remember you need to visit EVERYONE in the Blog Hop and leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning ....... have fun and Happy Hopping folks!
I'm guessing you hopped here from the lovely Melissa's Blog. Don't worry if you didn't, you can't get lost. You'll find a complete list of the all the Blogs to visit at the end of this post including a link back to the start.
OK .... so here's what I've been up to.
Let's start with the Fun Birthday Sentiments. Lots of Birthday greetings in a mix of fabulous fonts.
Why not use them all .... or some of them anyway .......
I've used a mix of them here, stamped with different coloured inks to create a fun topper for a really quick and easy Birthday card
Add a few sequins and a bit of sparkly thread and you're done
I added one of the stamps from Bold Birthday Sentiments (from the first stamp release) to finish off the front
and used the same set to decorate the inside ........
You don't have to use them all at once though ...... usually just one is enough. I love this pretty font ..... perfect to add the finishing touch
This was so easy .... the background was created using an acrylic block to stamp with ..... just apply coloured inks directly to the block, spritz with water and then stamp .... love the sort of watercolour effect that you get
Add a pretty die cut ....... I splashed a few dots of white acrylic paint onto the background too
and one of those fab sentiments ...... and you're done!
Next up ..... Thinking of You (my favourite!) I love this set, the fonts are beautiful, the little butterflies are so sweet, the fancy script is perfect for creating backgrounds and there's also a couple of decorative images on there too.
Keep things clean and simple ...... a nice inky panel across the card and I used the pretty script to add a bit more interest
I made a simple tag using the same colours as the background ...... how beautiful is that font!
And finished off with the butterflies .....
A few ink splashes here and there .......
And I couldn't leave the inside blank now could I .....
A more elegant design now ..... a simple script panel, inked with a touch of Distress (Antique Linen) and edged with a gold pen
One of the beautiful sentiments .......
and a little decorative touch top and bottom of the script (these would look great embossed too, in a nice rich gold perhaps)
For a splash of colour I added the butterflies ..... stamped directly onto the card and then stamped again onto a piece of coloured card, cut out and overlaid ........ so pretty and delicate
Great on the inside too ......
Finally ....... I'm going a little festive ....... well the stamps do cover all occasions.
A nice CAS design using the Everyday Sentiments ........ love the large words in this set!
I simply stamped a few pretty snowflakes and added a touch of sparkle
Stamped a festive greeting using the Everyday Sentiments ....... you can put together loads of different sentiments depending on the occasion ......
They're great for both the front of your cards ...... and on the inside too
Phew!!! That was a long one ..... are you still with me? I do hope you enjoyed your visit and that you're feeling inspired!
All of the Happy Little Stampers stamps are available now on the website and the good news is, they ship worldwide!

You have been very busy. I really like your first card and the additional words of "to you". That would have taken some time to complete the whole card.
Lovely makes, you have showcased the stamps beautifully on your cards.
Fab cards Linda, looks like you've had a blast playing with them. :)
Beautiful cards, Linda! The Christmas one is stunning!
I especially like your cards using the thinking of you set of stamps. Thank you.
You have veery nice cards. I really like your use of the new stamp sets. Thank you for sharing!
Fabulous cards! Love the birthday cards and how you stamped the inside of the cards too!
The Thinking of You set is my favourite too - I love what you did with it - great inspiration for me! I also love the snowflake one - a wonderful CAS Christmas card!
Love all your cards; you did a great job highlighting the new release stamps. I bow down at your feet - that first card is stunning. I have tried on several occasions to do something similar and it has been extremely trying for me.
I send a lot of b'day cards so the cards with B'day sentiment stamped in different colors is a quick way to make a great looking card. Plus the acrylic block stamping with the HLS sentiments is such a good-looking combo. Thank you for ideas.
I love your gorgeous cards!
love your cards with all the details ! It's stunning!
Your cards are gorgeous! I can't say enough how beautiful they turned out with all the details.
Fabulous set of cards, Linda.
Very pretty cards, Cathy x
Absolutely adorable selection of cards Linda, you've certainly been working / playing hard with these sets. Love the colours and elegant designs and a perfect showcase here. x
All are lovely, but that daisy with the watercolour effect just grabbed me!
Love the daisy card. Really like that you show what's inside your cards. That's my favorite thing to do.
Love all of your beautiful cards.
Great cards and the colors are really nice.
Love all the cards but the snowflake is CAS perfection.

Hi Linda, it is very nice to meet you. This is my first visit to Happy Little Stampers and it is good to read that they ship worldwide because I have fallen for all six stamp sets! Thinking of you is certainly a very versatile stamp set and I understand why it has become a favourite. Thank you for all the inspiration, your cards are stunning. HLS has an extremely talented design team.
Love all of these but the droopy die-cut flower is my absolute favourite - simply gorgeous!! Thank you. These stamps are amazing.
All lovely but I particularly like the one with the daisy.
