Pairing Bottled Happiness With The Tea Boutique Cards/Envelopes!

During our Leadership conference this past weekend we had several make and takes centered around the new annual catalog. One of the make and take groups was using the Bottled Happiness bundle with all of the new 2022-24 In Colors. I loved the 2021-23 In Colors and figured there would be no replacing them as my favorite in color set, but this year’s colors are quickly taking their place as the faves.

A Little Variation On Our Make And Take:

I had a 2 inch strip of each In Color DSP so to make short work, I cut the length down to 5 and 1/4 inches and simply layered to the front of the Orchid Oasis Tea Boutique card – very fast work indeed! The bottle is a stamped image on Smoky Slate and then covered over with another bottle of Vellum.

The Tea Boutique Cards And Envelopes – Fast and So Pretty!

***Same card variation but in each of the other In Colors. Note how the decorative card front pattern matches the corresponding envelopes!! Super quick and beautiful to boot!***

Many time we spend our time studying the catalog for the new stamp sets and papers. We get to sections like Memories and More card sets and packaged envelopes and we simply skim over them. This set of cards/envelopes showcases both this year’s new In Colors as well as the Tea Boutique 6×6 DSP pack. With a package of the DSP, a couple of the card/envelopes packages, a few die cut or punched labels and you can churn out multiple cards for every occasion. Add a package of the 2022-24 In Color Matte Decorative Dots and you have the perfect embellishments to add to all of these cards!

Let’s Talk Catalog Icons!

Have you ever wondered if something was new to the catalog or you simply missed it in the past annual catalog????

Stampin’ Up packs a wealth of info in our catalogs, but if you’ve never been shown you probably didn’t even know what was there! If you look at the image above – notice that PINK box with the letter N in the center??? THAT is the image for EVERYTHING NEW to this catalog!!! After studying the pages with stamp sets, bundles, and dies, I next go page for page looking for that icon in the description info. It’s used to identify new ribbons, embellishments, accessories and tools! That’s how I discovered we now have MASKING PAPER!!! 5×7 inch STICKY NOTE STUFF which will make masking your images SO MUCH EASIER!!! Thank you Stampin’ Up!!!

More Bottled Happiness To Come

Be sure to come back this week so you can see some more ideas using this bundle. I love seeing the versatility in a set – it makes it so much easier to justify buying – as if “because I love it” isn’t enough to justify, right? LOL Until next time, keep stamping, keep crafting, and God Bless!!!
