Beautiful Perennial Essence Suite

Posted on by

This Suite of products is just striking with it’s rich colors and images – the Designer Series Paper itself is beautiful all by itself. But when you team it up with the other products in the Suite you have soooo many choices to create with! If you haven’t seen the Suite you can find it on page 106-108 of the 2019 Annual Catalog.

Want to see some projects made with the products found in the Suite? I’ve got 7 great cards to share with you today. All with a different twist with this stamp set.

The Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock (149101) used on these first projects is wonderful to work with.

And the Perennial Essence Floral Centers (149442) are not only self stick but have a wonderfully natural look to them. They are perfect to use on your Daisy Lane projects too!

Quick and easy this card uses the Story Label Punch (150076) to frame the sentiment.

And since the Floral Essence Stamp set is a has separate stamps for the flowers centers you can create all kinds of combinations.

So what do you think? Which accessory is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?
