One of the new products being offered in the new Summer Mini catalog is “Smooch Spritz”. Offered in four colors, these are pearlized accent sprays that come in ready-to-use spray applicators. You can see the difference it imparts on this wedding card featuring the new stamp set, Blissful Bride, also available in a few short weeks. Below is the same card without Vanilla Shimmer Smooch:
There is no doubt in my mind that I will be “smooching” a lot this summer! And let us also bid a fond farewell to two of the colors that are slated for retirement as part of Stampin’ Up!’s “Color Renovation”, Pale Plum and Orchid Opulence. If you are a fan of these colors, be sure to stock up today!
The Stampin’ Schach Tips:
- Feel like playing a little “Project Runway”? I did! I felt like a “designer” as I selected “material” from which to paper piece the gown’s train and sash. I decided on the “Swirls” pattern from the Bridesmaid Designer Paper collection and Pale Plum. I could almost hear Tim Gunn in the background encouraging me to “Make it work!”
- Be a Hot Shot with your Big Shot! Zip that Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder through the Big Shot with Pale Plum card stock for tactile interest!
- Punch it up! The cute little flower on the sash is from the new Itty Bitty Shapes Punch set available in the Summer Mini. Isn’t it sweet?
- Glitz and Glam! Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz is a quick and easy way to add instant sparkle to your projects. Whisper White Organza Ribbon and Lilac Circle Ice Brads add the perfect bling!

Ann, Your card is beautiful and I love how you smooched it! I have to put that on my wish list now. Thank you so much for sharing your awards with me! You are just too kind. Your blog is a true source of inspiration for me…always!
Ann the card is gorgeous, I love the color scheme and the way you lifted the dress by adding the flower.
No doubt in my mind…. spritz is in! It adds just the right amount of bling and interest, without detracting from the image.
Fabulous
