Hello friends. Today I have two cards for you using the brand new Stampin’ Up! Violet Dreams Suite and Framed Violets bundle. This suite was just released yesterday in the July 2026 Online Exclusives. It’s such a pretty suite!

View the Violet Dreams Suite HERE in my online store. Each of the items in the suite can also be purchased individually.

Card 1 and Downloadable Card Sketches

The first card I have made with this suite uses the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper (DSP) and one of the coloured images from the stamp set. I paired the Violet Dreams DSP with the 2026-28 InColor Gingham 12×12″ patterned paper pack (link at end of post). This paper pack contains Hydrangea Hue which is a coordinating colour for the Violet Dreams DSP. I have also used Hydrangea Hue as my base cardstock colour.

This card is 14cm square, and I have a sketch for this metric measurement and also for an imperial 5 1/2″ square card below. It’s a great sketch to use with many different patterned papers.

I have used the Stylish Shapes dies and 1 7/8″ circle punch for some of the shapes (all links below) but included the measurements in the sketches. My central floral image from Framed Violets stamp set has been water-coloured. I used the Fluid 100 watercolour paper. a small paint brush and the ink from my ink pads. The colours are Fresh Freesia and Peaceful Pine which are coordinating colours for this suite along with Gorgeous Grape, Hydrangea Hue, Secret Sea and Darling Duckling.

Card 2

My second Violet Dreams card uses the DSP, the same floral image and one of the sentiments from the stamp set. The sentiment label is die cut from the retired Stitched Rectangle dies. The base card is Secret Sea and the sentiment is also stamped in this colour. This time I have watercoloured the flower in Highland Heather and Peaceful Pine.

This card design is called a fractured or faux-shutter card. If you are interested in trying one of these cards, you can download a tutorial for another version of this card in this post.

I really like the font and wording of this particular sentiment. Here’s a closer look at the stamp set so you can see the sentiments included.
