This month’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team of Stampin’ Up! was to create projects using the Perennial Lavender Suite.  I created two cards, using the beautiful, elements in the suite.

Perennial Lavender Suite

 

The first card has a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with a frame cut from Perennial Lavender Designer Paper. I used the largest, and third largest Perennial Postage Dies to make the frame, which I attached to the card front with Dimensionals. I made use of the long, “left-over” strips of Dimensionals to give it extra support.

Prior to attaching the frame, I glued a checked pattern of Perennial Lavender DSP to the card front, 3″ X 4 1/2″.

 

The bouquet was cut with Painted Lavender Dies from four colors of cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Shaded Spruce, and Lost Lagoon. After cutting, I tied the stems with Linen Thread, and glued the middle in place, leaving the ends free.

 

“Thank you for your friendship” is from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set, stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on Lost Lagoon Cardstock, cut with a Sending Die, and attached with Dimensionals.

 

The second card has a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″, making a square card. I used a Perennial Postage Die to cut three squares of Perennial Lavender DSP, and one square of Basic White Cardstock. 

 

Before gluing the four, perforated squares to the card front, I stamped the sentiment on the white square in Gorgeous Grape Ink. “Happy Mother’s Day” is from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set.

 

Next, I colored a butterfly, from the Paper Butterfly Accents Pack, using Gorgeous Grape Ink and a Blending Brush. After coloring, I glued the body, and lifted the wings of the butterfly for dimension.

The final touch was adding three, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. Aren’t they pretty?
