The Creative Treehouse recently hosted an online Lily of the Valley class that featured five different cards in the collection. Each participant who purchased a Kit had all the necessary supplies (minus Stampin’ Up!’s Lily of the Valley bundle) to create all five cards.
All five Lily of the Valley card designs were unique. Two of the cards were fun folds. One card was a shadow box card. The remaining two cards were “normal” but still striking.
Lily of the Valley Cards individually
Below you will find individual photos of each of the cards. If you have a favorite, I would love to know which one it is. You can leave a comment at the end of the post to let me know.
This is the first card that we made. It was the simplest to create. I was hoping to slowly warm everyone up with this card that I entitled “A Touch of Pink”. On this card everyone learned the technique to coloring the blossoms with Stampin’ Blends. After learning the technique the participants perfected it with each subsequent card.
Shadow Box Card
Moving from pinks to teals, this card is next in line. Adhesive strips were used to achieve the shadow box look. For any “extra” dies or embossing folders not part of the Lily of the Valley suite, I provide those in the Kits that I create.
Swining Arch Card
Who doesn’t love a fun fold card? With clear directions, this card is fairly simple to create. For this card, I focused on greens.
Softly Blended Lilies
This card is my favorite. I had so much fun trying to recreate the beautiful Designer Series Paper. For these blooms instead of using only one color, we used two different colors of Stampin’ Blends.
Joy Fun Fold
Joy fun folds do tend to make you joyful. For this particular card, I used lots of layers. But adding the little borders of pink just made the card feel complete.
Wishing you could make these 5 cards?
Not everyone knew about the online class. If you missed the class but would like to make the cards yourself, I uploaded the pdfs to my site. You can purchase the pdfs individually (in case you only one to create one or two of the cards) or you can purchase the entire collection. Just click on “tutorial options” to see each individual card tutorial as well as the five card collection.
When you purchase the entire collection, you get the supply list as a bonus. In addition, you essentially get one of the pdfs for free. Ultimately, it just depends on how many cards you wish to create.
Here is the link to the pdf collection. Each pdf contains detailed instructions, multiple photos, and measurements. When you order any of my pdfs, they are sent directly to your email after you make the purchase. I hope you’ll check out the Lily of the Valley Collection as well as my other pdf tutorials.
