This week I was playing around with the Painted Lavender Bundle of products in the Stampin Up mini catalog. I'm not really much of a "purple" girl, but I love lavender and the soft papers that come with this set.
For my first card, I cut out an arch using the dies from the Garden Meadow suite. I love how it almost looks like you're peeking into a garden. I used Lost Lagoon cardstock, added a piece of the designer papers and put the arch on my card using dimensionals to give it a lift.
I stamped some butterflies and cut out some springs using the Painted Lavender dies. Then I added a saying and a piece of the linen thread to complete my card.
It has a soft flowery look to it and that's just what I was going for. :)
For my next card, I used the negative space that the arch die cuts for the front of my card. I put a piece of the desinger paper behind it and added the arch portion to the card with dimensionals. Before I added it to the card, I ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine using an embossing folder to make it resemble a stone wall.
There are sprigs and butterflies on this card, too. The saying is from Notes of Nature stamp set. I saw this idea on Pinterest from Robin Daus.
My third card has some of the lavender images stamped and cut out on it. I used the Scallop Contour rectangle die to add the flowers onto. I stamped the green leaf stamp on the scalloped white piece before I added some sprigs and flowers.
This is pretty much the same card, only I used a different piece of the designer papers for the front of the card. Instead of 3 stamped lavender flowers, I only put one on it. What a beautiful set this is. I would love to make some more things with it.
