An Elegantly Said In Color Happy Birthday

This bright card is the perfect way to say Happy Birthday.

It combines two of the new In Colors, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia, with the also new Elegantly Said Bundle (Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Elegant Tag Punch).

These items can be found in the Annual Catalogue where you can find my inspiration for this project on Page 69.

Make sure you check out my new Tips, Tricks & Techniques videos, where my first tip was all about CASE-ing Stampin’ Up! publications, as I’ve done here.

Again, Polished Pink is outside of my comfort zone, but I know the recipient of this card likes pink.

I think this is my last very pink project for a while!

First, the corners are rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch.

The background is a mix of tone-on-tone stamping with the flower image. Then, using the White Ink Pad, the larger image is stamped over the top.

An Elegant Tag Punch shape has the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Vine Design Stamp Set added. Don’t forget about this and other items in the January-June Mini Catalogue!

Using Fresh Freesia, the tag also has tone-on-tone stamping added.

A bow using the Silver spool from the Simply Elegant Trim brings a touch of glimmer.

With a loop of the In Color Ribbon stuck onto the project, the sentiment is layered on top using Dimensionals.

Saying Hello – Elegantly Said Bundle

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card that uses a good handful of new products from the new Annual Catalogue.

Elegantly Said Bundle. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG DesignsThis is a card for a friend who is a big Stampin’ Up! fan. Due to where their Birthday falls, each year I use new products from my Demonstrator pre-order on their card. I then challenge them to spot all of the new items!

If you’d like to join my Stampin’ Up! Team, take a look at the Join+ Promotion that is running this month. £154 of products for just £99.

For this project I’ve taken inspiration from page 147 of the new Annual Catalogue.

The card uses 8 brand new products. Can you find them all before I share the list?

Our first two items are the Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Elegant Tag Punch from the Elegantly Said Bundle.

Next, stamping tone-on tone in new In Color Pale Papaya using an image from the Stamp Set gives us items 3 and 4.

Gold leaves from the Sprig Punch and the new Flowers & Leaves Punch, new item 5, are set behind the Crumb Cake tag shape.

A sentiment in Old Olive from the Vine Design Stamp Set is given a shape on one end using the Treasured Tags Pick a Punch. Both of these items are from the January-June Mini Catalogue.

On the other side is a short loop of Pale Papaya & White Ribbon for new product 6.

Making a bow using the Simply Elegant Trim in Gold provides a bit of sparkle. Some bling using the new Genial Gems in Pale Papaya then adds a finishing touch. These are the final new items 7 and 8 on the project.
