Painted Lavender

Saturday Blog Hop – Pick Me Up

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Pick Me Up”.  We are creating thinking of you, get well…or other encouragement type cards this week!  I think the Painted Lavender Bundle is one of the prettiest in the mini catalog!  I’ve used it with the greeting from Softly Sophisticated Set (SAB Level 2).

PAINTED LAVENDER

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Lost Lagoon is embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (SAB Level 2 Bundle).  It was added to the front.
  • The medallion from Thoughtful Expressions Dies was cut from Highland Heather cardstock and added to the front.
  • On Basic White, the branch was stamped with Lost Lagoon, the large lavender bush with Gorgeous Grape, the smaller bush twice side-by-side with Fresh Freesia Ink and overtop wwith Gorgeous Grape Ink.  All were cut with the dies.
  • The other branch leaf was cut with the Dies from Lost Lagoon cardstock.  It was cut in half and added between the layers of lavender, then the entire bunch assembled and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Softly Sophisticated (SAB Level 2) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink on Basic White and cut with the label from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  It was added to the medallion.
  • A couple of Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were added to the background and one to the front flower.

 

 

So pretty…and the best part is that I used up some of the “starts” on my desk!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

IM316 – Painted Lavender

By | 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is a pretty lavender print!

 

PAINTED LAVENDER

The Perennial Lavender Suite of products is definitely one of my favorites in the Mini Catalog!  I love the postage dies and the pretty lavender options with both stamps and dies!

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was cut with the largest Perennial Postage Die, then embossed with the Layered Florals Embossing Folder, and added to the front.
    • The 1 x 3-1/2 and 1 x 4-1/2 pieces of Perennial Lavender Designer Paper s were criss-crossed on the front.
    • The branch from Painted Lavender Dies was cut from Lost Lagoon cardstock and two sets of lavender flower stocks from Basic White cardstock.  The flower stocks were colored with Highland Heather and Lost Lagoon Inks using a sponge dauber, then added to the front.
    • The greeting from Perennial Postage was stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink, then cut with the small label die in Thoughtful Expressions (LOVE those label dies!).  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the stems.
    • Two large Purple Shimmer Gems were added to the DSP.
