Fix It Friday with Forever Lovely

 Pretty In Pink Wishes Card Tutorial
Every once in a while I have a great card design in my head that I try to get out in paper and it just doesn't quite work.  This is what I was able to settle on, but it isn't quite right to me.  What do you think?  I think it needs something, or needs a change.  I would love to have your input.  I love the colors: Very Vanilla, Petal Pink, and Flirty Flamingo.  I just feel like something is missing!  We have so many creative people in the Lair too, so jump on my Facebook Page and give me your ideas!  

Product of the Week: Forever Lovely Stamp Set
The Forever Lovely Stamp Set is a great Valentine's stamp set, but you will find yourself coming back to it over and over again.  The floral images are perfect for a celebration of love, but can be used for so many more occasions beyond.  The sentiments are equally as useful for Valentine's Day and other occasions as well.  There are a variety of sizes with the sentiments too, so you can use this set for small projects and larger ones with ease.  The large floral stamp coordinates with the foliage stamp as well, creating a perfect bouquet.  And because it is photopolymer, it is easy to align when stamping and super fun to create with!

Calling All Hosts/Hostesses!
How would you like to earn Stampin' Up! products for FREE?  I'm looking for hosts to hold private workshops and classes and now is the best time EVER.  Sale-a-Bration is in full swing, and that means more host rewards for YOU with qualified sales.  How much more?  We are talking about DOUBLE the rewards!  I'm happy to hold parties for you at my home (although I'm in Yanceyville, but have a really cool house), or we can find a location local to your home if you would rather hold your party or workshop somewhere other than a home.  And online parties and events are always fun!  And, I have special thank you's for my hosts on top of all the rewards Stampin' Up! has too!

1.  Stamp "Wishing You..." on Layer 4 using Petal Pink Ink.

2.  Use the floral corner die on two opposing corners of Layer 3 to cut out detail.  Line the die up in the corner of Layer 3 almost touching the edges.  Die will cut out the floral image and give you two lines extending from the flowers.  Use your Stampin' Trimmer to cut down Layer 3 following the lines from the die cut flowers.

3.  Adhere Layers 1 and 2 together.  Wrap with a length of Lace Trim and secure ends on the back of Layer 1 using Mini Glue Dots.  Adhere Layers 1 and 2 to Base.

4.  Adhere Layer 4 to Layer 3 using Snail.  Adhere both Layers on the left side of Layer 2 using Dimensionals, and centered over the Lace Trim.

5.  Cut about 8" of Lace Trim and tie bow around length of Trim adhered to the card to the right of Layers 3 and 4.
