Lasting Lily Take 2 and a Blog Hop

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a good week. Mine has gone insanely fast, as they always do when I'm off work. I didn't even come close to completing my To-Do List, so I'm a bit worried about heading back to work. It's going to be a crazy few weeks!

Can you believe we're already half-way through March?? Today is the 15th, which means it's time for another Stamping Symphony Blog Hop.

This month we're featuring products from the Sale-a-bration Coordination promotion. Check out this beauty featuring the Lily Framelits, which coordinate with the Lasting Lily Sale-a-bration stamp set...

Isn't that background cool? I created it using the "smudge" stamp in the Lasting Lily stamp set. You can check out how in this week's Tuesday Live @ Five video below. I demonstrated this and two other cards featuring this stamp set and dies.

Here's a closer look at the background...

The best thing about this set of framelits is that they not only include the dies to cut out the lilies, stems and leaves, but also have two sizes of labels that fit many of the sentiments in the stamp set. Gotta love that!

On the inside of this one I used the same "smudge" stamp behind my sentiment...who would've thought that little stamp could create such a unique background!

Be sure to check out the next stop on our hop...lots of amazing creativity here!

Lasting Lily

Happy Tuesday! I'm a day late posting this week because my son has been super-sick and I've spent the last couple of days taking care of him and running him to the doctor. Thankfully, it looks like the meds he's been taking have finally kicked in and he's on the road to feeling much better!

This week I am featuring the Lasting Lily Sale-a-bration stamp set and the coordinating Lily Framelits. Check out this pretty card I made using the stamp set...

I also featured this one in my Tuesday Live @ Five video today, so you can check out all of the details and how-to by watching it. It is the second card I demonstrated in the video...but you'll want to watch the whole thing to see the other two cute projects!

Check out the complete list of the products I used to create this card below. Clicking on the image will take you directly to my website for easy ordering :)

Thanks for checking in...I'll be back on Friday with our monthly Stamping Symphony Blog Hop...be sure to stop by then! In the meantime, have a spectacular week!

Painted Seasons Thank You

Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Ours isn't over yet here, as today is our Family Day Holiday. It is so nice to have an extra day off work to enjoy time with loved ones!

This week I am featuring one of the brand-new Sale-a-bration offerings as my Product of the Week...

I can't say enough about how utterly beautiful the images and patterns in this bundle are! I also can't seem to stop playing with them ;)

Here is a project I'll be featuring on this week's episode of Tuesday Live @ Five...

I think the best thing about this bundle is it's versatility. The paper has detailed hand-painted images on one side, but the other has simple geometric patterns liked the one I used on this card. This means there is absolutely no limit to the possibilities with this DSP pack! The stamped images are in the beautiful DistINKtive style, making it super-easy to get beautifully shaded images with just one stamp. Now, did you notice that I cut out several of the images? I could have fussy-cut them, but I used a soon-to-be-released coordinating set of framelits! That's right! Starting March 1st you can purchase framelits that cut all of the beautiful images in the stamp set. Talk about fabulous! Buy the dies and get the coordinating stamps and paper FREE!!

Now, don't get me wrong, the stamped images are beautiful on their own, but having the ability to cut them out and layer them takes this set from wow to HOLY COW!

As I mentioned above, I'll be featuring this card and two others on my Tuesday Live @ Five episode over on Facebook tomorrow. If you miss the live broadcast, you can always find the recording here but clicking the Video Tutorials tab above or on my YouTube channel.

Hope to see you tomorrow...have a great week!
