Lavender florals and butterflies create lovely greeting cards

                                                                         

  • Another card with Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite 
  • Glass Mat Studio For FREE with Starter Kit until 29 February 2024
  • Look for new Sale-A-Bration surprise and new Online Exclusives 1 February 2023

Here's another charming handmade greeting cards using the Perennial Lavender Suite.  This suite includes two bundles--Painted Lavender Bundle and Perennial Postage Bundle-- plus the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and the Paper Butterfly Accents that you'll find useful for creating any number of artistic cards and paper crafting projects. I used one of the prints from the  Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, along with a die cuts from the Perennial Postage Bundle.  My color theme is Lost Lagoon, Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia and Basic White. I used the Perennial Postage Dies to create an image area where I stamped 3 of the Lavender florals from the Painted Lavender Stamp Set in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather, and grass and stems in Lost Lagoon ink.  I used a heartfelt sentiments from the Perennial Lavender Stamp Set and stamped it in Lost Lagoon.  The butterflies are stamped with Highland Heather ink, and the butterfly accent die cut is colored with Fresh Freesia.  Play with your favorite colors to unlock the charm of the Perennial Lavender Suite. 

Reminder:  Just one more month to earn items during Sale-A-Bration 2024 or take advantage of the Joining Offer (see below). And look for a Sale-A-Bration Surprise tomorrow, 1 February.  From now until February 29, for each $50 or $100 you spend, you can select Free items from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.



Floral Greeting card using Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite

You'll enjoy crafting this beautiful card beginning with a basecard of Highland Heather Cardstock. Then, use a floral print from the Perennial Lavender 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper from the January- April 2024 Mini Catalog.  Next, use the the Perennial Postage dies to create an image area of Basic white Cardstock.  


Floral greeting card using Painted Lavender Bundle from Stampin' Up!

    Use stamps from the  Painted Lavender Stamp Set to stamp the grass along the bottom using Lost Lagoon Ink.  Then stamp the Lavender using Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather Ink.  Finish by adding Lost Lagoon Stems to each of the Lavender florals.  Add a sentiment from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set towards the top of the Basic White image area using Lost Lagoon ink, and stamp the two small butterflies using Highland Heather ink.  Finally, I use a small blending brush to color the butterfly from the Pap Butterfly Accents pack.    



    Above, you'll find more ways to use the beautiful elements from the two bundles and accents from the Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite.
