More Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Mini Catalog

                                                          

  • More Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender Stamp Set and Dies samples
  • January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit coordinates with Perennial Lavender Suite including the Painted Lavender Bundle
  • Customer add-on dies work for three upcoming Paper Pumpkin Kits

I've continued playing with the Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite from the upcoming 2024 Mini catalog that customers can begin purchasing from on 4 January.  This is also the start of the earning period for Free Sale-A-Bration selections.  Today, I'm again focused on the Painted Lavender Bundle including the Perennial Lavender 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.   I've added a change to my original card from last week and created a suite of cards using the new Painted Lavender Bundle.  My color theme is Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia and Basic white.   The Painted Lavender Bundle is one of two bundles that is part of the Perennial Lavender Suite.  And, the Perennial Lavender Suite coordinates with the January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit!  See below for more January Paper Pumpkin details, and subscribe by 10 January 2024.


Floral greeting card ideas using the Painted Lavender Suite from Stampin' Up!


    For the first card, below, the basecard for the card is Lost Lagoon Cardstock. Then, using the largest size Radiating Stitches Dies I  die cut another piece of Lost Lagoon Cardstock.  Then I used the middle size rectangle from the radiating Stitches Dies to die cut an opening in the large Lost Lagoon Radiating Stiches Layer.  I added a floral prints from the Perennial Lavender 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper from the January- April 2024 Mini Catalog to the opening, gluing it to the backside of the Lost Lagoon Cardstock, before matting the piece with a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock.  

    Next, I used the Painted Lavender Dies to die cut floral images in Highland Heather  and Fresh Freesia Cardstock, and leaves in Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  I stamped floral images in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape ink using the Painted Lavender Stamp Set before using the Painted Lavender Dies to die cut the stamped piece.   

    Finally,  I used an additional circle die from the Radiating Stiches Dies and a circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to create a sentiment label.  I used sentiments from the new Perennial Postage Stamp Set--the second stamp set included in the Perennial Lavender Suite--, which I stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink, and popped the sentiment up on Dimensionals. The Perennial Lavender Suite also includes Paper Butterfly Accents--40 butterflies in 5 different sizes-- which I also added to my card.  These white butterflies can easily be colored with a blending brush so you can coordinate your butterflies with your papers.  To finish, I added a bow and ribbon of Lost Lagoon 1/4" Border Ribbon from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

    For my second card, below, I used the Garden Meadow Dies along with the Painted Lavender Dies.  My basecard is Crumb Cake.  Then I die cut the rounded arch from another layer of Crumb cake and layered a print from the Perennial Lavender 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper behind the arch.  

    Next, I used the Painted Lavender Dies to die cut floral images in Highland Heather, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Cardstock.   I stamped floral images in Highland Heather ink using the Painted Lavender Stamp Set before using the Painted Lavender Dies to die cut the stamped piece. I used the Garden Meadow Dies to die cut a Lost Lagoon gate.  I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut a circle for my sentiment.  The sentiment is from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set, and it is stamped using VersaMark Ink, covered with White Embossing Powder, and set with my heat tool.  Finally, I added a Crumb Cake bow and ribbon from the Real red and burlap ribbon Combo pack from the Annual Catalog.  I also stamped the butterflies in Heather Highland ink onto Basic White cardstock, die cut them with the Painted Lavender Dies, and popped them up on Mini Dimensionals before adding them to my card.

    For the final card, below, the basecard is Lost Lagoon Cardstock. Then, I used one of the floral prints from the Perennial Lavender 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper from the January- April 2024 Mini Catalog, and matted it on a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock.  I also used the new Thoughtful Expressions Dies--also from the new Mini Catalog-- to create an image layer of Crumb Cake Cardstock matted with Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  My original card posted last week used a Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon.  However, I redid this card today using the new Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8" Metallic Ribbon that worked better with layers in the image area.  

    Next, I used the Painted Lavender Dies to die cut floral images and butterflies in Highland Heather Cardstock, and leaves in Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  I stamped floral images in Gorgeous Grape ink and the butterflies in Highland Heather Ink before using the Painted Lavender Dies to die cut them. 

    Finally,  I used an additional die from the new Thoughtful Expressions Dies to die cut a Basic White label for my sentiment.  I stamped a sentiment from the new Everyday Details Stamp Set using Pretty Peacock Ink, and added Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment before adhering to the card. The Perennial Lavender Suite includes Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, and I added a small gem from this pack to my sentiment label as a finishing touch.
