Inky Bee Stampers

I received my pre-order from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, and I will be sharing sneak peeks with you of products from this new catalog over the next several weeks. I am extremely excited to share today’s card with you created using products from the Perennial Lavender Suite! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this suite. The paper from the Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is beautiful (all of the gorgeous purples included) the images from the Painted Lavender Bundle are beautiful…and how about the postage stamp die cuts and sentiments from the Perennial Postage Bundle! Items from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog will be available for customer orders beginning January 4. But, if you join the Stampin’ Up! team in December, you can pre-order items from this catalog at a 20% discount…just in case you were thinking about it!

I started off by adhering the designer series paper panels to Lost Lagoon mats then adhered these to the card front. Using the Perennial Postage Dies, I die cut a rectangle from a Gorgeous Grape print from the Perennial Lavendar Designer Series Paper pack and this was added to the center panel of the card front. I also die cut a smaller postage stamp image from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment onto this. Before adhering the sentiment label to the card front, I die cut several sprigs from the Painted Lavender Dies set in Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst. The sprigs were arranged across the purple postage stamp and adhered with liquid glue. The sentiment label was then adhered over top using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A short length of Linen Thread was tied around the stems of the greenery just below the sentiment label. I stamped the butterfly image in Highland Heather ink onto white cardstock and die cut the image and added the butterfly to the upper left of the sentiment label.

Onto a white panel I stamped an additional sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, then stamped one of the small lavender stems onto the lower left corner of the panel. Without reinking the stamp, I stamped the stem again next to the first stamped image. The butterfly image was stamped just below and to the right of the sentiment in Highland Heather ink. The panel was adhered to a Lost Lagoon mat, then adhered to the center panel on the back side of the card base.

The same lavender sprig was stamped and then second generation stamped onto the envelope front. A coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap with the excess paper trimmed away using a pair of paper snips. To finish up, I adhered several of the beautiful Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

This suite of products is perfection! You will be seeing more samples in the future. You can download, save and print the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below. I have included catalog numbers on this pdf for your convenience.
