Charming Duck Pond Card

Hello!

Today I’m featuring another card made with products from the Lily Pond Lane Suite. This card uses several different designs from the Lily Pond Design DSP and it is a layout I’ve used quite a few times in the past. I’ve paired two new In Colors, Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie, which I think make for a great color combination.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of Peach Pie cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. This will be a base for adhering the three pieces of DSP before adhering to card front.
  • Cut three different pieces of DSP. Cut one piece at 2″ x 5 1/4″, cut one piece at 2″ x 2 3/4″, cut one piece at 2″ x 2 1/2″. Adhere to Basic White cardstock. Before adhering to card front, cut a piece of Pretty in Pink 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon at 6 1/2″ and adhere over the center seam where the three pieces of DSP meet. Wrap tail ends to back of the cardstock. Adhere to card front.
  • Cut piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/2″ x 3″ and run through die cutting machine with the scalloped oval die from the Unbounded Love Dies. Stamp greeting from the Charming Duck Pond on the oval with Pretty in Pink ink.
  • On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp cattail image with Granny Apple Green ink. Stamp the cattail flowers with Peach Pie ink. Stamp the small duck image with Memento Black Ink. Color the beak and legs with Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends, body with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends, feathers with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. Run through die cutting machine with coordinating Charming Duck Pond dies. Adhere to oval piece and adhere to card front.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp greeting with Pretty in Pink ink. Stamp large duck image with Memento Black Ink. Color the beak and legs with Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends, body with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends, top part of feathers with Peach Pie, middle feathers with Pretty Peacock and tail with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to inside of card.
  • Add a few of the cute Dappled Dots to the front of the card.

Lily Pond Lane Suite

Hello!

Today’s card features the adorable Lily Pond Lane Suite. This is one of my favorite suites in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I especially love the Designer Series Paper. This is one of two cards we made using this suite in my monthly class, where I introduced the new 2024-2026 In Colors. This card uses Peach Pie. I got the layout idea from a card I saw on Pinterest.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base: Cut a piece of Peach Pie cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front. Cut piece of Peach Pie DSP from the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper at 3 3/4″ x 5″ and adhere to Basic White piece.
  • Cut piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/8″ square. Cut a piece of the cattail pattern paper from the Lily Pond Lane DSP at 3″ square and adhere to Basic White square.
  • Cut piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 5″ and flag one end. I used one of the dies from the retired Banners Framelits Dies and altered the width. I always keep retired die sets that are basic shapes! Adhere the banner to the center of the front of the card. Adhere the square DSP piece over the banner.
  • Cut piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ square and run through die cutting machine with the fourth smallest Deckled Circle die. Adhere to center of square piece. Stamp birthday greeting from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set with Peach Pie ink and run through die cutting machine with the angled die from Something Fancy Dies. Adhere to bottom of circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • There are several pieces of DSP with duck images that coordinate with the duck dies in the Charming Duck Pond dies. Cut one out and run through die cutting machine. Adhere to upper part of circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere three Gray Granite Dappled Dots to focal piece.
  • Cut piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp leaf image with Granny Apple Green ink in left corner. Stamp cattails over leaf image with Pretty in Pink ink. Adhere to inside of the card.
