New Violet Dreams Suite

/ Leave a Comment

The Violet Dreams Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! is one of Stampin’ Up!’s new July Online Exclusive Suites. I love the soft florals and pretty shades of purple. Its a wonderful suite that works for so many occasions like thinking of you, birthdays and more. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can take a look at the full suite here: Violet Dreams Suite Collection

A Closer Look at the Suite

This suite includes the Framed Violets Bundle. This bundle includes the Framed Violets photopolymer set with nine stamps & coordinating Framed Violets Dies.

The Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper includes twelve sheets. You get two each of five double-sided designs and two precut sheets. The patterns feature soft watercolor violets and coordinating backgrounds. The paper is acid and lignin free.

The Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper includes four single-sided sheets with glittery stripes. It is also acid and lignin free. This paper adds a little sparkle without loose glitter.

The Fresh Freesia Satin Ribbon is a narrow ribbon that works well for bows or simple wraps around a card front. You get ten yards.

The Adhesive-Backed Blooms Embellishments include thirty flower-shaped pieces in three colors. They are ten millimeters in size and easy to add as accents.

Everything in the suite coordinates beautifully, which makes designing with it simple and enjoyable.

Violet Dreams Inspiration Gallery

The Stampin’ Up! design team always does a wonderful job showcasing new suites, and Violet Dreams is no exception. These samples give a great look at how everything works together.

I hope these projects give you a little inspiration today. The Violet Dreams Suite is such a lovely collection, and even just looking at the samples makes me want to pull out my purples and start creating.

My Favorite Printable Color Resources

Now that we’ve all had a few weeks to really dig into the new Annual Catalog, I’ve been busy getting my color resources updated — and I’m sharing them all with you today. I hope you find them useful!

Color Resources

The Color Inventory Checklist is one of my most-used tools — it’s organized by color family and lets you track exactly what you own in each color, cardstock, ink pads and Stampin’ Blends. It’s such a time-saver when you’re shopping or planning a project and want to know what’s already in your stash. Click the image below to download and print.

The Color Coach is a quick, inspiring tool that helps you choose Stampin’ Up!® color combinations with confidence. Each card gives you ready‑made palettes, so your projects come together beautifully every time. It’s perfect for jump‑starting creativity when you’re not sure where to begin.

It makes matching cardstock, inks, and embellishments effortless, so your projects come together beautifully. A perfect tool to keep at your craft desk. Click the image below to download and print.

I’m also sharing a video I filmed a few years ago where I walk through how I use these color resources in my crafting. Even though the colors have changed over the years, the tips and process are still incredibly helpful. It’s a great refresher if you’re new to color pairing.

I hope you find all the resources helpful!
