Celebrate with Bright & Beautiful

Stampin’ Up! demonstrators are able to pre-order a few products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog. How fun! I had a little extra time this weekend to play with my new goodies – and I couldn’t help but to break into some of the new and returning colors! Here’s a card I made that features so many of them:

The foundation of my card is inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge – what better way to showcase a mix of gorgeous patterns than to build a four-panel base? Here’s a look at the challenge sketch that inspired my card:

There are A LOT of colors in this pack of papers, but they can be quite gorgeous when the patterns are paired well. Here’s a look at all the colors and patterns in the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

The sentiment at the heart of my card is stamped with Berry Burst ink on Fresh Freesia cardstock and cropped with the new 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. The sentiment and punch are part of the Circle Sayings Bundle, which is sure to be hit! Here’s a look at this bundle:

The Balloon at the center of the sentiment are pulled from the Beautiful Balloons Bundle, which coordinates with the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. While there are some great balloons and stars in the stamp set, I needed this solid circle to “cut” the busy patterns in the paper. Here’s a look at this amazing bundle:

Point of interest – the die at the bottom of the Beautiful Balloons Dies above can be used to cut a fringe with the paper of your choice. How cool is that?!

So many of the returning colors are featured on this card – all of the below colors are showcased in the paper:

Bundles: Circle Sayings Bundle, Beautiful Balloons Bundle  Stamps: Circle Sayings, Beautiful Balloons  Papers: Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Fresh Freesia, Thick Basic White  Inks: Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst  Accessories: 2-3/8″ Circle Punch, Beautiful Balloons Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I hope you’ll check out all of the projects at this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge – you can see them here.

Thanks for stopping by today!
