/ 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.

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.

    April Paper Pumpkin Kit Lakeside Retreat

    / Leave a Comment

    The Lakeside Retreat April Paper Pumpkin Kit is such a peaceful, nature‑inspired kit. The watercolor artwork, soft colors, and outdoorsy themes make it perfect for masculine cards. I love kits like this. Masculine cards aren’t always the easiest for me, and this one takes all the pressure off. For today’s post, I’m sharing the three cards I made exactly as designed.

    Happy Father’s Day Card

    This card captures that perfect boardwalk‑to‑the‑beach moment, and it’s my favorite of all three cards. I love the colors, the soft sky, and the birds make it feel calm and uplifting. It’s a great card for Father’s Day.

    Happy Birthday Card

    This card features a peaceful coastal scene complete with a bright bicycle and soft watercolor sky. It’s such a refreshing design and makes a perfect birthday greeting for anyone who loves the outdoors.

    Thanks Dad Card

    This lakeside cabin design is full of cozy, rustic charm. The paddles, fishing gear, and trees make it perfect for outdoorsy dads or anyone who loves time at the lake.

    All three cards look so nice together. Each one unique, yet perfectly tied into the lakeside theme. I always struggle a bit with masculine cards, and this kit makes it so easy.

    If you loved this kit as much as I did, the Lakeside Retreat Refill Kit is currently available to active Paper Pumpkin subscribers. It includes all the consumable pieces so you can recreate these cards again or craft your own alternatives. Please note the Refill does not include stamps or ink spot.

    Happy Stamping!
