New at SU Blog Hop- Easter Lilies Card

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of StampinUp! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today we are showing how you can "step up" a card idea using the same stamp set.



I chose the Easter Lilies Bundle! 
Simple Card: Uses stamped images
Stepped Up  Card: Uses die cut images



The Easter Lilies Bundle is great because it gives you the two options. Stamp and die cut or just die cut lily shapes and build the flower. Both look amazing for different reasons! 


Simple card with stamped images is only 2D, which makes it look simple compared to the 3D lily below. 


I used the same measurements, embossing folder, color scheme, and embellishments for both cards. 
The only difference is the dies I used to create the 3D lily. 

Which is your favorite? Simple or Stepped Up? 

Find more ideas on how you can take a simple card idea and step it up by hopping through the link of blogs below! Be sure to leave a comment to hear back from your favorite stamper! 


I am happy to answer any questions about the techniques shown here! Please contact your StampinUp! demonstrator to make a product purchase. If you do not have a demonstrator, you can use the links below to order products from me or join my team.
