WOW Wednesday with Lasting Lily

Thoughts With You Card Tutorial
I do love pink and green together, but I have strayed from my usual to showcase another beautiful combination: Powder Pink and Mint Macaron.  Two soft colors that compliment each other well and show off the beautiful images in the Lasting Lily Stamp Set.  And the new Story Label Punch adds a flourish and makes cutting out sentiments quick too!

2017-2019 In-Colors will soon be retiring!

Powder Pink is a 2017-2019 In Color, which means it is only available for a little longer before we say goodbye.  There are 5 In Colors that will be retiring to make way for 5 new colors.  I'm definitely sad to see a couple of these colors go!

These colors will soon be on a "while supplies last" basis, but for the month of March, they are fully available.  You can get all 5 ink pads in a set.  I want to be sure YOU get your chance to get them before they are gone!  Here is a link to some of the In Color products that will be retiring soon:


Product of the Week: Lasting Lily Stamp Set


The Lasting Lily Stamp Set is perfect for creating #simplestamping cards.   So many sentiments, including sympathy sentiments, and large floral images you that let you build a bouquet to fit your fancy.  And now, Stampin' Up! has coordinating framelits available to go with this lovely stamp set.  Best of all, it is a Sale-a-Bration item, which means you can get it FREE with a $100 order!

Sympathy cards are important for family, friends and loved ones.  Last Lily Stamp Set gives several sentiments that fit the needs for sympathy cards, and gives you a chance to make something personal for those you care about too.  I prefer to have a few made up ready to go, so I don't have to think about making one when the need arises.

2.  Stamp the large lily and the small lily two times each on Layer 1 with the bottoms of the flowers at the center of the layer.  Stamp all in Powder Pink Ink.  Stamp one set aiming towards the bottom-left corner, and the other towards the top-right.

3.  Stamp part of the long leaf (ink up about an inch of the tip) and stamp at the top of each large lily, so that it looks like the leaf is behind the flower.  Also stamp the full leaf two times over the lilies and about half the leaf two times as well over the lilies, choosing places to help fill in some space around the lilies.  Stamp all in Mint Macaron Ink.

4.  Adhere Layer 1 to Base.

5.  Adhere a folded length of the Shimmer Ribbon and the Nature's Twine  to the middle of Layer 1 on the diagonal.

6.  Adhere both pieces of Layer 2 to the back side of Layer 3 using Snail.  Adhere both Layer 2s so that one piece frames the top and then the other frames the bottom.

7.  Adhere Layers 2 and 3 to the center of Layer 1 using Dimensionals.
