Stampin' Up! Lots of Happy Friendship Card

The Lots of Happy Card Kit is one of my favorites. I used it two years ago when we flew to Albany, NY and I couldn't take a lot of supplies with me as my hubby was in a wheelchair and we also had the walker. I used up most of the kit but I got it out the other day to try and finish it off. This is a great kit and it is still available here. If you would like to see cards I created with it, just type in "Lots of Happy Card Kit" in the search button on my right side bar.

The "hello" is a stamp from Beauty Abounds. It is cut out with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly set using a scrap of Gorgeous Grape Card Stock. I colored the berries with my Light and Dark Highland Heather Blends. The leaves are colored with Light and Dark Old Olive Blends. The gold strip is from the edge of what was left of the gold foil banner stickers.

I had some assorted butterflies in my stash that I had punched some time ago so I added them as embellishments both on the front and inside.

The stamp sets I used on the inside are Beauty Abounds and Itty Bitty Greetings.

Unfortunately, my card kit got thrown around in the suitcase when it was loaded on the way home so the corners are a little bent. However, my friend who will be receiving it won't care because she will just deconstruct the card, make it into a new one and send it on its merry way to another recipient!

I'm playing today at Time Out. Their challenge is
