Painted Lavender Wildflower Bouquet Card
My class may be over, but I wanted to share a couple of additional projects that I created. This first one is a pretty all-stamping card created in some of my favorite colors!
Background Basics
I stamped the Painted Lavender leafy branch in Pool Party ink across the bottom of a Pool Party card base.
Sweet Wildflowers
Next, I stamped the same branch image, again in Pool Party ink, onto a Basic White Perennial Postage die-cut. Next, I stamped the large floral in Fresh Freesia and two skinner sprigs in Highland Heather. I added Lost Lagoon stems, then layered the stamped die-cut onto a 3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″ piece of Lost Lagoon.
Sentiment
I stamped the Perennial Postage sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto a 3-3/8″ x 7/8″ piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered it along the bottom.
Finishing Touches
I tied the layers with some Pool Party Ribbon and popped it up onto the card front with Dimensionals. I finished with a few Iridescent Pearls. Love this soft and sweet look!
Perennial Lavender Skinny Note Pad Holder
I created this skinny note pad holder as a gift for my team members for their monthly team event. I pretty much copied the look of this class card. The long, skinny Painted Lavender flowers worked perfectly with the shape!
Holder Basics
I started with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/4″ piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock, scored at the 2-5/8″ and 2-7/8″ marks to create a spine. On the front, I adhered a 2-3/8″ x 6″ piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to the top of a 2-1/2″ x 8-1/8″ piece of Basic White. Along the bottom, I added a 2-3/8″ x 2″ piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock, texture embossed with the retired Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (from Sale-a-Bration). I tied some Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon around the middle for a little texture, then mounted it onto the holder base with SEAL Adhesive.
Note Pad Décor
I die-cut a Highland Heather Perennial Postage label and adhered that to the top as a focal point foundation. Next I die-cut one Lost Lagoon branch and two Gorgeous Grape floral sprigs from the Painted Lavender Dies and attached them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the large floral image in Fresh Freesia and the smaller one in Gorgeous Grape, along with the stems in Pretty Peacock. They were all die-cut with Painted Lavender Dies and popped up with Dimensionals.
Sentiment & Finishing Touches
I stamped the Perennial Postage sentiment in Gorgeous Grape onto Basic White cardstock, then hand-cut the greeting and popped it up across the flower stems. I finished with a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems for sparkle. OOOhhhh, I just love it!
The Inside Note Pad
On the inside I added a 1/2 Mini Legal Note Pad. I found these Mini Legal Pads with the purple binding online and had them cut in have at my local office supply store. They did NOT cut them all straight, cut that is the risk you take, I guess, so be aware. I adhered them to the inside of the holder with some Tear & Tape, or you could use SEAL+ or Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I’m a list maker, so this kind of note pad really appeals to me! I carry them with me in my purse or tote bag and I’m always surprised at how well them hold up. Makes me smile every time I use them! I love that this little gift is functional as well as beautiful! Who will you make one for?
