Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lavender — Sending Love & Big Hugs

January 23, 2024 admin

So happy you have stopped. I hope you enjoy my blog for today.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set and Dies are part of the Perennial Lavender Suite. This suite has beautiful Designer Series Paper. I am using this part of the suite to create the card I am sharing with you today. The card I have created is a CAS of one created by Jamie Babarczy of Stamp It Up With Jaimie

To add the Basic White mat and the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″. Measure in from left corner 7/8″, cut from the 7/8″ mark down to the right corner, this will create the mat. For the Designer Series Paper, cut a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper 2-1/8″ x 5-1/8″. Measure in from left corner 3/4″, cut from the 3/4″ mark down to the right corner. You can see the photo above to see how they fit.

This is a picture of the card with the belly band off. I created a belly band to hold the card closed, being a multi-fold they have a tendency to not close as well. To create the belly band cut a 1-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. A piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is cut 1-1/4″ x 10-1/4″ and adhered to the Gorgeous Grape band. Wrap this around the card not too snug so it will slide off the card easily. Die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, emboss using Softly Sophisticated 3 D Embossing Folder. Add a die cut Gorgeous Grape butterfly and three Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dots Assortment the adhere to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, matting on a Basic White mat, adhered to the second flap of the card. Die cut the butterflies from Gorgeous Grape cardstock.

Create a label for the greeting by using a die from Perennial Postage Dies to die cut it from Basic White cardstock. Stamp the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink on the Basic White label. Two stamps from Perennial Postage stamp set are use. Part of the top greeting is masked leaving the words needed for the greeting. The other part of the greeting is stamped before the masked portion. Add Gorgeous Grape dots from Glossy Dots Assortment.

A sentiment from Perennial Postage stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a Basic White cardstock panel. A butterfly is brushed on the corner using Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush. A butter is adhered over the back of the butterfly that shows from the front. It is colored in Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce ink, using Blending Brushes.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items, or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount. When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
