Hello!
Today’s card features products from the Perennial Lavender mega suite from the soon-to-be-retired January-April Mini Catalog. The good news is that all of the products in this suite, with the exception of the Perennial Postage stamp set, are carrying over into the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, including the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. It isn’t often that Stampin’ Up! carries over DSP! The Painted Lavender bundle will not be sold as a bundle in the new catalog. You will be able to purchase the stamp set and dies separately. If this bundle is still on your wish list, you might want to take advantage of saving 10% on the bundle now.
Here is how I created this fun fold card.
- Card base – cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease sharply with a bone folder.
- Cut a piece of the Perennial Lavender DSP at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and run through a die cutting machine with the largest die from the Perennial Postage die set and adhere to card front.
- Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 4″. Stamp the stems with Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp large lavender spray with Gorgeous Grape ink. Stamp spray again with Highland Heather ink over the Gorgeous Grape spray. Adhere to a piece of Highland Heather cardstock cut at 2 3/8″ x 4 1/8″.
- Cut two pieces of DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to both sides on the inside of the card. Cut a strip of Basic White cardstock at 1″ x 11″. Score at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″ and 8 1/4″. Crease all folds very sharply with a bone folder.
- Run a thin line of liquid glue at the top of the 11″ strip. Open card and center the strip in the middle. Line up the top of the strip with the top of the card and adhere. Run a thin line of liquid glue at the bottom of the strip. Line up the strip with the bottom of the card and adhere.
- Cut four pieces of Highland Heather cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″each and four pieces of Basic White cardstock at 2″ x 2″ each.
- On the first piece of Basic White, stamp the grass image with Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the butterflies with Fresh Freesia ink.
- On the second piece of Basic White, stamp the thin lavender spring several times with Gorgeous Grape ink and alternating with Highland Heather ink.
- On the third piece of Basic White, stamp the small flower spray with Highland Heather ink.
- On the fourth piece, stamp a greeting from the Perennial Postage stamp set or leave it blank and write in your own note.
- Adhere the four stamped images to the four squares of Highland Heather cardstock.
- Adhere the four squares to the strip, running a thin line of liquid glue in the middle of each square. Don’t apply glue to the entire square otherwise the fold won’t work properly.
This is what the fold looks like when the card is opened.
- To finish off the card, fold the card and crease again very sharply with a bone folder. Adhere the stamped floral spray piece to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere a few of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front. Make bow and adhere to floral spray with a Mini Glue Dot. I used a piece of retired Gorgeous Grape ribbon from my ribbon stash.
