A Purple Challenge

Hello everyone. It is time again for another Stamp Off Challenge with Jackie, Buffy and me.  This time our challenge was to use the color purple.  This was a pretty easy challenge since Stampin’ Up!®  has a number of gorgeous purple colors.

The purple I chose to use is Highland Heather.  It is our medium purple and my favorite.  To make this card, I first cut a 2.5″ x 5.25″ piece of Highland Heather cardstock. Then I embossed it using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder which is in the 2020 Mini Catalog.  I love the design of this folder.

Next I used the Medium Daisy Punch and punched out six daisies in Whisper White cardstock.  I layered two of them together to make the three daisies.  I used the Sprig Punch to punch out the leaves in Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from Vibrant Vases in Gorgeous Grape ink.  Lastly I added the Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots to the center of the flowers to add a pop of color.

Now, lets go see what Buffy and Jackie made using the color purple.  Will it be Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape or maybe even Blackberry Bliss?!

Product List

Parisian Beauty

In the 2020 January-June Mini Catalog Stampin’ Up!® put together some larger product suites. These larger suites include a couple of stamp sets, matching dies, ribbons, embossing folders and other embellishments to help you make beautiful cards that all coordinate together.  To top it all off, they have offered one item number where you can order everything in the entire suite instead of having to put in numerous numbers.  Don’t worry though.  You can still order the products separately or the stamp sets and matching dies in a Bundle and save 10%.

One of these large suites is called Parisian Blossoms.  I loved this suite the first time I saw it.  The two stamp sets (Parisian Beauty and Forever Blossoms) are awesome, the dies Parisian Dies and Cherry Blossom Dies) amazing and I love all the embellishments.  The Petal Pink ribbon with champagne metallic edges is absolutely stunning.  The Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper has beautiful, soft colors in it and has champagne foil accents on some of the designs.  The Parisian Flourish embossing folder adds beautiful texture to your projects.

I used products from the Parisian Blossom Suite at our last monthly stamp class.  The card pictures above is one of the examples.  The colors I used are Whisper White, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate and Old Olive.  It is a simple card to make.  I first cut the Eiffel Tower out of Smoky Slate cardstock using the Parisian Dies.  I took a piece of Petal Pink cardstock (3.75″ x 5″) and ran it though my embossing machine using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.  I cut the word “merci” out of Basic Black Cardstock and then stamped the flower in Petal Pink ink and the leaves in Old Olive ink.  The flowers and the leaves are from the Forever Blossoms stamp set and the Cherry Blossom dies.

Don’t forget it is Sale-a-bration time! It is the best time of year in the Stampin’ Up!® world. You get FREE products with a qualifying order and there are many to choose from.  If you order the Parisian Blossoms Suite you can choose two $50 items out of the SAB Catalog or one $100 item!
