Lily Pond Lane Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! Brian and I returned from our delightful trip to Mexico early Sunday morning. It was absolutely fabulous!

I’ve posted a bunch of photos on my Serene Stamper Facebook page for those who’d like to take a peek. It was very nice to get away but I was glad to get home to my furbabies too.

Today’s card is one that made using the new “Lily Pond Lane” 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, which is also a part of the new “Lily Pond Lane Suite Collection”:

Take a step away from your busy day, breathe deep, and embrace the feel of a peaceful pond filled with ducks, frogs, lily pads, and more. The stamps, dies, paper, and embellishments in the Lily Pond Lane Suite Collection coordinate so you don’t have to guess about what will look good together. Cut out the adorable stamped duck images with the coordinating dies. Use the paper as an easy background or cut smaller pieces to use as accents; some of the images can be cut out with the dies. And the dappled dots can be used as a basic embellishment or duck eggs. It all comes together in the most beautiful way. Also available in French.
