Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the US. Today, I’m hopping with the Stamping Sunday design team and we’re using some of our favorites from the Mini Catalog! Let’s take a look at the projects I’ve created for the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Pretty Perennials!!

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Pretty Perennials

I love a clean and simple card. And if you visit here often, you know it’s no surprise to hear me say that I love flowers! One of my favorites – yes, I said one – is the Pretty Perennials Bundle. This Bundle ticks all the boxes for me. There are a variety of flower shapes and sizes, plus some leaves and detail pieces. And the dies add even more to the versatility of this set!

The white on white layering calls more the addition of some subtle details — ie nothing that will take away from the clean look. So, I used one of the Ornate Layers Dies and topped it with a layer of Basic White embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I love the fabulous texture this folder gives. I’ve used it so much the last month that I may be in need of an intervention – LOL.

The subtle use of Gilded Leafing on this card makes the whole thing pop! It’s such an easy wow to add and makes most anything look special.
Find all the details for today’s card in the video below.
Pretty Perennials Favor

For this favor, I started with one of the 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ Acetate Boxes. Then, I added a belly band embossed with the Painted Texture 3D folder. To coordinate with the card, I added the large Pretty Perennials flower in Magenta Madness and added details with Gilded Leafing. It’s just the right size for a chocolate covered pretzel.
This quick and easy favor found it’s way into my daughter’s dinner bag. Since she has to work on Valentine’s Day, I thought she might enjoy the sweet surprise.
