Happiness Abounds

Today’s card features the beautiful Happiness Abounds Bundle and the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.  This paper is great because many of the flowers and leaves can be cut directly out of it using the dies from the Bundle.  This makes for some quick and easy cards.  I wanted to really showcase how beautiful the paper is and here is what I came up with…

The card base is Gorgeous Grape cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 1/2” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut two pieces of the Designer Series Paper.  One was cut from the floral sheet and it was cut to 3 x 4” and the second was cut from the paper that has a rainbow affect on it and it is 3 x 5”.  Each of these were mounted onto Basic Black cardstock, one cut to 3 ¼ x 4 ¼” and the second cut to 3 ¼ x 5 ¼”.  I mounted the rainbow-colored cardstock first, over on the right side of the card and I adhered it directly to the card base.  Next, I added the floral piece to the left center of the card using Dimensionals.  I stamped my sentiment “friend” (from the stamp set in the Happiness Abounds Bundle) onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured ¾ x 2 ½” using Melon Mambo Ink and added that to a piece of Basic Black cardstock that measured 1 x 2 ¾”.  I added a Pastel Pearl to the sentiment and then added it to the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “Wishing you all the happiness you can imagine” (also from the stamp set in the bundle) with Melon Mambo ink.  I die cut one of the flowers from the Designer Series Paper using the dies from the bundle and attached it inside my card.  

For my envelope I stamped one of the flowers from the stamp set again using Melon Mambo Ink and using my Wink of Stella I picked up some of the color and colored in the flower. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
