Perennial Lavender Stampin Up card ideas - and an online class for all UK crafters

Perennial Lavender Stampin Up card ideas

The most popular Designer Series Paper in the current Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalogue is Perennial Lavender – and with good reason. This beautiful paper from the Perennial Lavender Suite coordinates with the Painted Lavender stamp set; another popular Mini catalogue product.

I’ve been crafting with these Stampin’ Up!® products recently and absolutely love the gorgeous purple tones and fabulous Kraft background. I LOVE kraft, especially with speckles in it.

This paper will form the basis for a Perennial Lavender online class I am running in April. This will be open to anyone in the UK.

EASY cards Sunny Days Designer Series Paper Stampin Up UK

Sale-a-Bration is a wonderful time of year for Stampin’ Up!® fans as we can earn lots of gorgeous free products.

One of them is this pack of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper, which I've used here to create six REALLY simple cards which anyone can make with no special equipment.

All I have used here is some Thick Basic White cardstock, Basic Black cardstock for layering, some Stampin’ Up!® greeting stamps, a paper trimmer and some ribbon.

Five card ideas using Painted Lavender Stampin' Up!® stamp set

Stampin Up Painted Lavender card ideas
 
When I learned that the best-selling Stampin’ Up!® stamp set from the Jan-April Mini Catalogue is Painted Lavender, I was not in the slightest surprised. When I used it at my Catalogue Launch Party last month, several people placed orders for it and the coordinating Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.

Painted Lavender is a beautiful stamp set with lots of possibilities. Stamp it in different colours to create the look of other tall flowering plants such as hollyhocks, delphiniums, lupins and more.

For my cards I stuck to traditional lilacs and purples. Take a look at the cards I have been making with this gorgeous stamp set...
