Greetings!
Now that we're into the second week of the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, I hope you've taken the opportunity to peruse all the fabulous new items available. I don't know how Stampin' Up! does it, but each catalog seems better than the last!
I can only speak for myself when I say I love punches! It's such a quick way to add design and dimension to our paper crafting projects. The Bottled Happiness Punch Bundle is a great addition to our choices this year. The vintage style bottles are perfectly paired with a fitting variety of messages as well as a lovely two-step bouquet option.
For today's card I chose the shorter bottle, which incidentally does not coordinate with the punch, and brought in other punches to fill the bottle as well as give it it's cute label. The Bough Punch us so great for giving us two simple botanical silhouettes that work so well to spice up our arrangements. And did I mention the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack! OMG - this pack of papers has an amazing collection of beautiful prints and patterns in a fabulous selection of colors which provided the palette for today's card.

=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:
Adhere strips of Design a Daydream DSP prints to Mossy Meadow cardstock panel, leaving a small (1/16") space between strips, and adhere completed panel to Blushing Bride card front.
Ink "sending Cheer" with Mossy Meadow and stamp onto Basic White cardstock. Insert into Label Me Fancy Punch and punch with message near top edge of punch.
Reinsert punched piece into punch to create small label as shown:
Ink short/wide bottle stamp with Pool Party and stamp onto Basic White cardstock. Fussy cut with Paper Snips. Wrap Linen Thread around bottle neck three times and tie a knot. securing on backside with a mini glue dot.
Even though this card does not use the bottle punch, I highly recommend purchasing the bundle. This way you save the 10% by purchasing them together, and you will find plenty of designs where you will want to use the taller bottle vs. the shorter one used on this card. :).
Insert scrap of Mossy Meadow cardstock into Bough Punch and punch out larger leaf cluster. Insert Daffodil Delight cardstock into Bough Punch and punch small bud cluster. Ink leafy stem cluster stamp with Mint Macaron, stamp onto Mint Macaron cardstock, fussy cut around image. Apply strip of adhesive to backside of bottle, arrange and adhere the three pieces.
Adhere bottle with boughs and branches to card front, positioning so base of bottles sits on top edge of striped print strip. Attach "sending cheer" label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, making sure tails from Linen Thread are under label and peaking out the bottom edge.
Embellish with Daffodil Delight Glossy Dot.
