Are you ready to take your cardmaking skills to the next level?
Today, I’m going to show you how to create a stunning and elegant card using the Painted Lavender and Perennial Postage stamp sets from Stampin Up. This project features a unique background technique that adds a special touch to your card designs.
The first step in creating this beautiful card is to score a pattern into your cardstock. This adds a subtle texture and dimension to your background, making your card truly stand out. Next, we’ll show you how to create a pop of color against the white background. The combination of the white cardstock and the vibrant colors creates a striking contrast that is sure to impress.
One of the best things about this project is that it’s perfect for crafters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn new techniques or an experienced crafter looking for inspiration, this project is sure to spark your creativity.
This card is the bonus project included in our March Cultivated Creativity DIY paper crafting kit as a thank you for your support.

Make Time to Create—Without Having to Plan It All First
You love making beautiful cards. But sometimes the hardest part isn’t the creating—it’s finding the time, choosing a project, gathering all the right supplies, cutting everything and figuring out where to begin.
Cultivated Creativity takes care of the planning and prep so you can get to the part you actually love: creating.
Create More. Complicate Less.
October’s creative escape features the Festive Cheer Bundle with beautiful projects designed to feel special without making your creative time more complicated.
We’ll create four cards plus one oversized giftable project, using smart layouts, versatile patterned paper, beautiful gold details, and thoughtful finishing touches. You’ll discover ideas you can use again and again—including ways to simplify a design when you want to make multiples.
Everything is thoughtfully designed and much of the prep work is already done for you, so you can spend less time figuring out what to make and more time enjoying the creative process and making each project your own.
Registration: September 21–October 20, 2026
