Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Hills of Tuscany Sneak Peek Card with Video Tutorial

Good morning on the first day of December!  I hope your week has been a good one!  Did you catch that first sentence?  It is the FIRST day of December.  Which means…there are 24 days until Christmas!  Does that strike fear in your heart?  Or…have you been “ready for Christmas” since July?!  I’m somewhere in between – gotta wrap/pack/mail and then I’ll be ready to concentrate on the things that stay here in GA!

Or.  We can all just escape to a villa on the Hills of Tuscany!

Yep – I worked on that line all day long! 😂😂😂

My card today is a sneak peek of the new Hills of Tuscany and some gorgeous Perennial Lavender DSP – BOTH coming soon in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog!  And – I made a faintly Roman arch using the Garden Meadow Dies – available now in the Online Exclusives!  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one was inspired by the sketch over at The Paper Players.

I started with a card-front size piece of plaid paper from the new Perennial Lavender DSP (available to customers on 4 Jan 2024) and a second strip that I adhered with Liquid Glue across the first piece on a diagonal.

Using my Paper Trimmer, I trimmed the excess paper – bringing the card front back to its final size of 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.

I used the large arch die in the Garden Meadow Dies, to cut right from the middle of the panel.

I set the card front on top of a 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and used a pencil to lightly trace the arched opening onto the Very Vanilla cardstock.

I pulled the Very Vanilla panel out and – using a lot of the stamps in the new Hills of Tuscany set, created my idyllic Italian villa! You can make your own scene – but, here’s what I did!

– Stamped-off-once Mossy Meadow for the large hill image.

– Mossy Meadow for the smaller hill and the “bushes” images.

– Old Olive for all the trees.

– Crumb Cake for the house.

– Copper Clay for the roof.

– Copper Clay for the “flowers” in the grass.

– Crushed Curry for the Tuscan sun!

– Stamped-off-TWICE Balmy Blue for the sky.

I erased the pencil line and used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to an Old Olive mat.

Then, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the “frame” over the top of the image.

I stamped a sentiment from Hills of Tuscany in Copper Clay ink on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it out with the smallest Stylish Shapes label die.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the sentiment to the card front.

I adhered a little Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine bow with a dab of Liquid Glue and three birds from the Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds pack and the card front was done.

On the inside, I stamped another Italian scene on a Very Vanilla panel.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to an Old Olive mat and then into my Copper Clay card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another view of Tuscany – or…Abruzzo!…on the front…

…and more Perennial Lavender DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Can you just smell the tomato sauce simmering?  I love this Hills of Tuscany set – it’s Italy on cardstock (and WAY cheaper than a flight, I promise)!  And – the Perennial Lavender DSP is ALREADY on your “gotta have it” list for 4 January, right!?  I know it is! Don’t miss the Garden Meadow Dies (available right now in the Online Exclusives) – that big die cut sure looks like a Roman arch to me!

I hope you like!
