More Perennial Lavender

Posted on by

Spring is in the air and the Perennial Lavender Suite (162613) makes spreading a bit of that feel easy! You’re going to love the colors and designs found in the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (162593).

Beautiful, right? And lots of texture built into this Designer Series Paper too with it’s hand painted look. I’ve got some fun cards to share with you today using this Suite. This first card, which was a team swap, uses a fun flower box fold to create a lovely pop up card.

It folds down flat for mailing but will stand on it’s own. The signature panel is on the inside of the card like a normal card base so you get the full effect when displaying.

Next I’ve got a card that uses the lovely Paper Butterfly Accents (162612). These paper butterflies are a lot of fun since you’ll get 5 different butterflies on each sheet.

You can add color to them and more. On this card they are used straight out of the package

and add a nice little detail to the card front. Texture has been added with the Painted Lavender Dies (162596) that use Designer Series Paper to add some “greenery” along with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (162935). Last but not least is this lovely sympathy card that uses a simple thumping technique to add multiple colors to the lilacs. How do you do the thumping technique? It’s a quick and simple technique. Simply ink up your image using the lightest shade and then add a darker shade either with a Blending Brush, Sponge Dauber, or Stampin’ Write Marker. This card also uses the fun Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (162611) and gold Adhesive Backed Dragonfly & Birds (Online Exclusive 162743)

Did you know that in flower language different color lilacs have different meanings? The purple lilac symbolizes spirituality while the white lilac represent purity and innocence.

I think you’ll enjoy the Perennial Lavender Suite (162613) that you’ll find in my Online Store.
