Perennial Lavender DSP Cards

I adore this gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and was happy to see that it wasn’t retiring but would continue to be available when the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog goes live May 1st. Besides all the fabulous colors, this pattern paper pack also includes a sheet that is perfect for creating simply stamping cards as well as slightly stepped – up versions. For Monday’s Facebook Live I created two cards using the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and the sentiment from the new Simply Said stamp set that has already become a 2024-2025 Annual Catalog favorite. You can check out my Facebook Live replay on my Facebook page here and on my YouTube channel below.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink on the top right corner of the Designer Series Paper panel. Glue the stamped Designer Series Paper panel to the Gorgeous Grape cardstock panel and then glue them to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink on the Basic White cardstock sentiment panel. Use paper snips to flag one end creating a banner.

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the sentiment panels to the right side of the card front overlapping the wrapped ribbon. Tie a small bow with the White Diagonal Trim and use glue dots to add it to the left of the sentiment panels overlapping the wrapped ribbon. Add Iridescent rhinestones to the card front for sparkle.
