Blooms, Bliss, and Wishes!

Blooms & Bliss

The Blooms and Bliss Suite of products in the new Stampin’ Up! annual catalog are amazing. The colors and flowers are so soft and whimsical and are a favorite new product of mine! If you would like to browse the catalog on-line, please follow this link. If you would like to turn the actual pages of the catalog (much better IMO), please shoot me an email with your snail mail address and I will get one right out to you.

The Details:

  • Let the beautiful paper do the work for you! I began with a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base in new new Sweet Sugarplum card stock (Isn’t it yummy?!?), scored at 5 1/2″ and then added a layer of Rich Razzleberry card stock cut to 5″ x 3 3/4″. I just wanted a peek of the Rich Razzleberry showing, show I trimmed  4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″ piece of the new Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper to layer on top.
  • Simple is always good. I trimmed a 3 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ piece of Thick Whisper White card stock and used Sweet Sugarplum ink to stamp this sentiment from the (also new) Blooms & Wishes stamp set. I used my Banner Punch to quickly add a banner to the left end and adhered it to my DSP layer with SNAIL.

  • Sparkling embellishments! I stamped this tiny bloom from the Blooms & Wishes Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry and quickly snipped the flowers out with my paper snips. I added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of each and adhered both of them to the end of my sentiment banner (promptly covering up the effect of the banner…oh well!). Once adhered, I added a simple Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of each and added more sparkle with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I snipped off a short length of the coordinating 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon, folded it in half and adhered it to itself with a glue dot, added a glue dot to the back and slipped it under the flowers!

  • I was very sad to see the Envelope Liner Dies retire. But…Stampin’ Up! has come out with packs of the thin envelope paper in the beautiful 2015-17 and 2016-18 In-Colors so I added them both to my first order. I used the Envelope Punch Board to quickly create a perfectly coordinated envelope! A great feature of this new envelope paper is that there is pattern paper on one side and solid color on the other, perfect for a easily addressed envelope with a pretty liner!

I truly, truly am very excited with all of the new products and look forward to sharing them with you!

Thank you for stopping by today!
