Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! One of the prettiest bundles from the last few years is the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies and they are currently on the Last Chance products list with wonderful discounts! I used it with the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper to make a simple fun fold Thinking of You card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Adhere a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper to the front panel of the Highland Heather card base. Cut a Gorgeous Grape panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and adhere another panel of the DSP to the die cut.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Versamark ink on Gorgeous Grape. Sprinkle the sentiment with white embossing powder and shake off the excess. Heat the powder with a heat tool until it’s bright and shiny and cut it out with the rectangle die from the Perennial Postage dies. Adhere it to the layered die cut with glue dots.

Cut two leaf sprigs using the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender dies from Lost Lagoon and adhere them to the large die cut with glue dots. Cut two double floral sprigs from Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and adhere three of the sprigs to the die cut panel with bits of dimensionals at the top and glue dots at the bottom. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with dimensionals and finish with a white bow and purple shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, stamp the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set using Highland Heather ink on a Basic White panel. Adhere a strip of DSP to the side and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal so that the DSP shows when the card is closed.

The pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and purple shimmer gems are carried over in the new Annual Catalog and are perfect for making cards for those special ladies who love purple. Definitely check out the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies on the Last Chance list for a great bargain while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Hello Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple hello card made with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set, featuring the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and the pretty Painted Lavender dies from the current annual catalog. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My design was inspired by the current challenge in Freshly Made Sketches #673:

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Gorgeous Grape ink on the front of a Fresh Freesia card base. This stamp set has several simple sentiments that go well with many different designs for any occasion.

I cut a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper with the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I traced the outline of the die on Gorgeous Grape card stock and fussy cut the circle for a perfect mat. I adhered the DSP to the mat with liquid glue and adhered them both to the card front.

I cut the leaf sprig from the Painted Lavender dies from Lost Lagoon and the double flower stems from Gorgeous Grape. I adhered the leaves and one of the flowers to the card with glue dots. I finished with Purple shimmer gems and a length of white ribbon tied in a knot.

For the inside panel, I left it simple, just trimming the side of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. This leaves plenty of room for a personal message.

The Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set is my go to stamp set for a simple front of card sentiment. And the Challenge inspired me to pull out and use some old favorites – the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and Painted Lavender stamp and dies.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card

Good Friday Morning! With the long weekend coming up I wanted to share a quick card using the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle and the beautiful Perennial Lavender designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper to the front of a Starry Sky card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Starry Sky ink on a Fresh Freesia panel and cut it out with the third smallest rectangle postage stamp die.

I made a loopy bow with the pretty Orchid Oasis Metallic ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label and popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I adhered a couple of purple shimmer gems to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sprig from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Shaded Spruce on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly in Starry Sky and colored it with a light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The lovely patterns in the Perennial Lavender DSP makes it easy and quick to make a pretty card. And the great sentiments and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle are the perfect pairing. Enjoy the weekend!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender bundle and Perennial Lavender designer series paper are some of the prettiest new products in the new Mini Catalog, especially if you are a purple lover! I used these products to make a fun fold card for today – a simple Z-fold with die cut extender panel. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week, and I used most of the colors, but not all!

I adhered panels of Perennial Lavender designer series paper to Gorgeous Grape mats and adhered them to panels of the card base. I used the same pattern for the front and inside and a contrasting pattern for the middle section. I used the second largest rectangle to cut a Gorgeous Grape panel. It only cut three sides, so I aligned the die with the scallops to cut the fourth side and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine a second time and it made a nice square! I adhered a checked panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the front and adhered it to front of the card by applying liquid glue to the left side.

I cut the double lavender sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender dies from Gorgeous Grape card stock and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I cut three lavender leaf sprig dies from Lost Lagoon and adhered them to the card with glue dots. I stamped the lavender sprig bunch from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather ink on Basic White. I used the little flower stamp to stamp Gorgeous Grape ink over the Highland Heather sprigs and then cut it out with the lavender sprig bunch die.

I stamped the stems from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered the stems to the sprigs and popped them on the card front with dimensionals. I made a knot in a short length of burlap ribbon and adhered it with glue dots. I finished the card front with there purple shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather ink on Basic White. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal, lining it up so that it would be covered by the die cut when the card is closed.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender bundle more and more as I play with it. The flowers are pretty when stamped in a single color, but there are so many ways to get multiple colors and it’s so fun to experiment.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Hugs Card

Good Morning! Here’s a Big Hugs card made with the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle and other items from the Perennial Lavender suite. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used the pretty Sunday Stamps sketch SSC326 – Shape Up In The New Year for today’s card.

I embossed a Highland Heather panel with the Sale-A-Bration Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Highland Heather card base. I cut a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper with the second largest rectangle die from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies using a two step method to get a smaller rectangle. I partially cut one side, moved the die and cut the other.

I measured my die cut DSP and cut a Gorgeous Grape mat 1/8″ larger (mine ended up being 2-3/4″ x 3-3/8″, but yours might be different depending on how wide you cut it) and adhered the DSP to the mat. I adhered the layered DSP to the card with dimensionals. I used a Blending Brush to apply Highland Heather ink to a large butterfly cutout – be careful around the antenna.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Berry Burst ink on the right side of a Fresh Freesia panel. I cut it out with the second smallest rectangle postage stamp die and adhhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I adhered the butterfly on top of the label and DSP with glue dots and finished the card with purple shimmer gems and a Soft Sorbet shimmer bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the butterflies from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Perennial Lavender designer series paper is so pretty and the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle are really sweet. And the postage stamp dies are so versatile and un to work with.
