New Stampin’ Up!® stamp set Elements of Text meets old lavender favourites

 

Sometimes we can get so hung up on using the latest Stampin’ Up!® products that we forget about all the gorgeous ones lurking away in our stash.

So for this week’s blog, I want to share some butterfly-themed projects we made at a class on Friday.

Cutest Onesie baby card with Painted Lavender

 

We have a new baby in the family! I am a great-aunt once again and it’s very exciting. No pinks for this baby girl so I made a lavender-themed card by combining two Stampin’ Up!® stamp sets.

Painted Lavender meets Under the Moon in a Stampin’ Up!® mash-up

 

 

When I get a new Stampin’ Up!® catalogue, I like to look for ways I can combine the old with the new. The new Under the Moon stamp set opens up a world of possibilities and one of the ways I wanted to use it is with a floral stamp set. 

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

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.

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

 

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...
