Crafting Marvels: Perennial Postage Dies & Perennial Lavender Designer Paper

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

In the vibrant world of card making, there are two elements that can truly elevate a creation: innovative dies and captivating designer paper. Today, we’re diving into a crafting adventure where we marry the magic of Perennial Postage Dies with the charm of designer paper. It’s a fusion of texture, movement, and elegance, resulting in cards that are not just pieces of paper, but intricate works of art.

Enter the Perennial Postage Dies…. these versatile die are more than just decorative accents; they help create our focal point, drawing attention to the heart of our design. By framing our chosen elements with these dies, we create a sense of cohesion and elegance that ties the whole card together, as we align the front panel to the die cut panel inside. You’ll note the unique cut that exposes (gives you a peek) inside the card.

Now, let’s talk about technique. We’re going to take those patchwork pieces dies and work some magic. By popping every other piece up, we create a sense of movement and dimension that immediately catches the eye. It’s like watching a quilt come to life right before your very eyes. The juxtaposition of raised and flat elements adds an element of surprise and delight to our cards. As I put the finishing touches on the card, you can’t help but marvel at the transformation that has taken place… especially if you attended my Perennial Postage Class, as this is a “mash up” of two of the cards we did in class. The possibilities are endless.

So, whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out on your creative journey, take a moment to explore the world of Perennial Postage Dies and Perennial Lavender designer paper. Let your imagination run wild, and don’t be afraid to experiment. After all, the greatest masterpieces are often born from the boldest ideas.

Thanks for joining me today! Have a great weekend.

Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper & the Split Card Technique

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ 

To my paper crafting enthusiasts … if you’re on the lookout for new and exciting ways to showcase your creativity, let me share this cute card with you. Today, we’ll explore a fantastic technique that not only lets you make a set of 16 cards effortlessly but also highlights the beauty of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. Get ready to be inspired by the Split Card technique!

The Split Card technique is a simple yet impactful way to create stunning cards with a unique design. For this project, I’ve chosen the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to be the star of the show. This exquisite paper features delicate lavender patterns that add a touch of elegance to any project. 

Start by cutting your Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper into equal 3″ x 3″ squares. These squares will be the basis of your Split Card design. If you like the “matted” look, cut thes square at 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″. Each will be cut diagonally from corner to corner (same with mat) then layer the designer paper to the mat. Arrange them in opposite corners on your cardstock, leaving a gap in the middle. The negative space created by the gap adds a modern and dynamic element to your cards, and a perfect space to add your greeting.

Now, let’s bring in the Paper Butterfly to take your cards to the next level. Choose the size butterfly you want and color it using the Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Markers. The combination of these vibrant hues will make your butterfly pop against the lavender background… and let’s not forget the “WOW” from the Wink of Stella. The Stella will actually “moisten” your inks so they will blend together. 

To add a touch of sparkle and sophistication, embellish your cards with Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. These gems complement the color palette perfectly and bring a subtle shimmer to your creations. Place them strategically on the butterfly or around the negative space to enhance the overall visual appeal. 

One of the fantastic aspects of the Split Card technique is its scalability. With just a single sheet of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, you can create a set of 16 cards with ease. This makes it an excellent choice for batch card-making or creating personalized gifts for friends and family.

This simple technique allows you to explore your creativity and produce a stunning set of cards that will leave a lasting impression. Try it out … experiment with colors, and enjoy the joy of crafting! Comment below if you will be trying out the Split Card Technique.
