2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 27 – Gorgeous Grape

Today I feature the Painted Lavender stamp set and coordinating dies with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP) in a fun fold design.

Colour Combination - Gorgeous Grape

The front feature is stamped in second generation ink, meaning I stamped off on scrap paper before applying to the card. I also stamped this same image in full strength onto Basic White card and die cut it to add over the top on Dimensionals. The greenery is die cut in white and Pretty Peacock ink applied with a blending brush. Gorgeous Grape ink is also applied around all edges of the white layer. The lavender and butterflies have Wink of Stella on them for some sparkle.

As you open the centre panel, it reveals two beautiful Gorgeous Grape doors, dry embossed with one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders.

Then continue to open to find a stamped panel, with some more images from the stamp set. These are coloured with Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape and Pretty Peacock, but wait, there is more. Open that panel up to reveal your message and some more gorgeous stamped images!

I haven’t put any sentiments on this card, as I’ll add the appropriate ones at the time when I know who I’m sending this to. I cased this design from Karen Philipp, a US Demonstrator.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Granny Apple Green.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our amazing blog hop organiser, Cathy Proctor.

Card 2 features my favourite DSP piece in the pack. I didn’t want to cover it up, so I created three 3cm wide panels and glued them to some Gorgeous Grape card. Ribbon was added to the bottom with a ribbon knot. The Paper Butterfly Accent was added at the top.

The ‘celebrate’ is from the Wanted to Say dies and I added some Foam Adhesive Sheet behind some Gorgeous Grape card before die cutting that layer. The Highland Heather Gliiter piece is from the Three Color Glimmer pack. I added some Adhesive Sheet on the back before die cutting. Once cut, remove the paper backing and place it on top of the larger piece. You can really see the height it gives below.

Card 3 – possibly my favourite, a slimline card. This features the DSP, the Perennial Postage Bundle, the Painted Lavender Bundle and the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
