Lasting Lily Sympathy Cards

During this last week of Sale-a-bration I selected one of my favourite stamp sets, "Lasting Lily" and its coordinating Framelits to make these two sympathy cards.

Pinterest is a great source of inspiration and one trend I was noticing was the use of dark card stock to show case the Lily.  The effect was quite stunning!

So, I decided to use Basic Black card stock to show case a bouquet of Lilies. In the first card the Basic Black was embossed with the Tin Tile embossing folder.

In the first card  the Lilies were stamped in Mango Melody with the edges sponged with Poppy Parade ink.  On the Basic Black card stock the lilies seem to take on a life of their own.
The stem and leaves were stamped in Granny Apple Green.  

For the second card the Lilies were stamped with Berry Burst ink and adhered to a Basic Black background embossed with the Layering Petals embossing folder.

Easter Greetings

Yes it is only January, but when you do classes one works ahead.  So....on to Easter!

The stamp set "Fable Friends" has some cute characters that can be used for Easter, new baby, or even children's birthday.  My card today focuses on Easter.


Meet Mother Goose wearing an outfit in Highland Heather. The outfit is actually 3D as the image was stamped nd coloured twice and the second image had the outfit fussy cut and then added on the original image using dimensionals.


The clouds in the sky are from "Let the Good Times Roll" and are second generation stamping using Balmy Blue ink.  The full strength ink was too overpowering.

Laying Oval Framelits were used to die cut the image with the scallop oval cut in Gorgeous Grape. The two layers were adhered together using dimensionals and then added to the card front.

The card base is Highland Heather, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing folder.  A strip of the new Gingham Gala DSP (smaller pattern) is added towards the left side.  Two pieces of the SAB organza ribbon are placed on the left side of this strip - one in Highland Heather, and the other in Mango Melody - the latter picking up the colours of the beak and feet of the goose.  Bows in their respective colours are added at the top.

The sentiment, stamped in Highland Heather, is punched with the Everyday Label punch.  It was reinserted into the punch a couple of times to get it to the size I wanted.
