Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad Happy For You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! For my card today, I’ve used a lot of Sale-A-Bration Products, including the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad stamp set, Lily Pad Dies and the Lily Impressions designer series paper.

We have a color challenge this week, and here is the bold and beautiful color palette I am using for my card:

I started by adhering a panel of the Sale-A-Bration Lily Impressions designer series paper on a Bermuda Bay Card base with snail. I cut the large label from the Stitched Label Dies in Bermuda Bay card stock. I cut two large outline lilies and one small outline lily from the Sale-A-Bration Lily Pad Dies in Lovely Lipstick card stock. I cut two medium solid flowers and one small flower from the Lily Pad Dies in Petal Pink Vellum. I cut two large leaf clusters and one small leaf cluster from the Lily Pad Dies in Granny Apple Green card stock. I trimmed the stems from the large leaf clusters.

I stamped the large lily pad from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad Sale-A-Bration stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink on Granny Apple Green card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die from the Lily Pad Dies. I adhered the lily pad to the large stitched label with multipurpose liquid glue. I made three flower clusters by layering the Lovely Lipstick outline flower on the Petal Pink vellum flower and topping it off with a leaf cluster. I adhered them together with multipurpose liquid glue, being careful to keep the glue behind the cardstock. I accented each flower with a Lovely Lipstick enamel dot and adhered them to the label with dimensionals. Again, I was careful to place the dimensionals behind the cardstock, and ended up cutting small, skinny pieces. I adhered the label to the card base with dimensionals.

I cut the decorative die cut strip from the Lily Pad Dies in Bermuda Bay card stock. I trimmed it to 4″ and adhered it to the card front with multipurpose liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the A Little Lace stamp set in Versamark Ink on Lovely Lipstick and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I heat set the sentiment and cut it out with the die from the Stitched Label Dies. I adhered it to the card base over the decorative strip with dimensionals. I finished it off with a Lovely Lipstick enamel dot.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the small lily bud from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink, after stamping off twice, on the bottom of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the small leaf cluster under it in Granny Apple Green ink after stamping off once. I added a strip of the Lily Impressions designer series paper and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lily Pad photopolymer stamp set and Lily Impressions designer series paper are FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. The Lily Pad Dies are FREE with a $100 purchase.
