ANOTHER SQUARE COLUMN CARD FEATURING LAVENDAR & WISTERIA


Today I'm sharing another Square Column card that features a mix of old and new products.  With so much on my wish list, I had to cut some corners and agree (with myself) to mix the gorgeous Perennial Lavender designer paper with the retired "Wisteria Wishes" stamp set so that I could also get the Perennial Postage bundle.  I may yet end up with the coordinating Painted Lavender bundle, which is so pretty, but--for now--I'm working with what I have.


Have you made Square Column cards yet?   I am having so much fun with them and have more card bases cut, scored, and ready to use.


I'm not sure if it's good or bad that my card features the same dies used to create wisteria and lavender, but the combination looks good.  The sentiment on my card is from the "Special Moments" stamp set and cut with one of the new Perennial Postage dies.


The above photo shows the fun 3D column design and also how I adhered designer paper to the inside of the column as well as the outside. It's a little tricky to show exactly how flat the card folds for mailing, but maybe you can see that from the photo below:


All cards need a little embellishing or bling, and I used some purple rhinestones on this one:


Since the entire front was decorated with designer paper and die-cuts, the back of the card will be used for writing a sweet note.  Of course, it deserved a little bit of decorating.


It looks like I'm going to need another pack of this gorgeous designer paper because I'm going to run out before I get tired of using it.  


If you haven't made any Square Column cards, be sure to check out this blog post for instructions.  These cards are sooooooo very easy and fun to make, and I know that they are fun to receive as well.  If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator but would like to order some awesome products, I'd love for you to shop with me.

Until next time . . . have a stampin' good day!
