Instructions: Base is 5.5 x 7.5" on cardstock. Cut a pattern paper from collection 1/8" smaller than the base. This will go right on top of the card base. Cut the fleur border on a white card 5x7" and use the border on the bottom, this will layer right on top of the pattern paper. Finally cut a piece of pattern paper 4.75 x 6" and use the fleur border edge as shown in my sample.
Using the dies from the 7171 and 7172 set, cut out some of the pre-colored images in the collection and mold the leaves. One will layer on top and the other three will go as layers under the shaker part of the card. Do the same for the lilacs by using the pre-colored flowers in the collection. Once molded I added some stamens to the centers.
Assemble your card allowing the decorative border to layer between the two pattern papers. I flag cut the sentiment and lightly inked the edges with shaded lilac.
Using the circle dies, create a frame using two of the dies cut one the large eyelet out on white cardstock. I cut the little cottage using these dies and matted this on top of the white eyelet. Cut out the birdcage in white cardstock and this will go to the right and on top of the cottage.
Stamp and die cut the wildwood florals using coffee archival ink on white cardstock, pierce with the piercing tool and mold using the 3D shaping mold. Attach the Stamen. Stamp and cut out the dove using archival ink on white cardstock and lightly color with Shaded Lilac. Assemble your card as shown adding crystal clear for final details.

Instructions: Click here for to see more photos of this project.
FOR FLOWERS: Stamp lilac flowers from Lush Lilac Stamp set multiple times using Archival Ink Plum. Color the flowers using Vibrant Fuchsia, Cactus Flower, and Majestic Violet. This will create a shaded Lilac bouquet. If you want a single color bouquet, avoid using multiple colors. Cut the flowers using Lush Lilac die with the help of die cutting machine. Also, color the back of the flowers with the same color.
Place the colored flowers facing upside down in Lilac Mold, mist them with very little water, close the lid of the mold and emboss the flowers by running the mold through die cutting machine. If you don't have the mold, simply shape the flowers using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Since I wanted the flowers to have softer look and more blended look of colors, I have given an extra heavy shower and then soaked the water with a towel, and then shaped them using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Once the flowers are shaped and dried, press them in the center using the smaller tip of the stylus, Also, press few flowers from the back to create some buds. Prick the centers and glue the flower stamens.
FLOWER CENTERS: I have used Assorted Bead Stamens-Medium to create the flower centers. I have used off-white and light yellow stamens from the collection. The white stem of the stamens will distract the whole lilac bouquet. So, the stems of the stamens are colored using archival ink, Leaf Green.
LEAVES: Stamp, medium and large leaves from Tropical Cockatoo Stamp set using archival ink, Olive Green and color them using Leaf Green and Olive Green. Cut them using it's coordinating die and color the back of the leaves as well. Give them a good water shower, wait for few minutes and then dab them with a dry towel. With the larger ball tool softly break the fibers of the leaves from the top side. Next, place the leaves upside down and with a smaller stylus, start making veins as shown in the stamped image. Fold the molding mat, and with the help of a tweezer, make a deep vein in the center. The more you press, the more wavy and natural look of leaves you get. Dry the leaves using a heat tool. Prepare a perfect pearl spray and mist them on the leaves a little.
FOR BOUQUET: Make small bunches of flowers keeping buds on the top. TIP: Instead of twisting all the wires together, simply twist only one wire of the flower around the whole bunch. This will help you pull extras if you don't like the look of the bunch. Tape all the bunches with floral tape.
Take three stem wires and hold them as shown. Tie them using thread wire or regular thread and tape them using green floral tape. Start tying the prepared bunches using thread wire around the stem wire. Keep wrapping the green floral tape each time you add bunches around the stem wire. You can add more or fewer bunches depending on the desired size of the bouquet. To the base of the bouquet, tie the prepared leaves, the same way and wrap around with floral tape.

Instructions: Click here to view some of the inside pages. Visit my blog to view all of the pages. The finished size of this mini book is 6in x 6in (15cm x 15cm). Taking the 6x6 Layered circle card set, find the page with the 2.75in (7cm) pre cut circle in it, this is to be used as the front page. Or find the circle hole that fits your bauble. The remaining pages, it does not matter which order they are adhered to the spine as the circles in the pages will not be seen when the book is finished. Begin constructing the book by adhering all the pages to the spine. Put aside and continue the preparation of the pockets; fold out pages and photo matting as follows:
For the pockets and the foldout pages, these are the same size: Taking the card stock cut x 7, 5.70in x 11.41in (14.5cm x 29cm). Fold these in half so you will get a folder measuring 5.70in x 5.70in (14.5cm x 14.5cm) 4 of these will be the pockets, the remaining will be the fold out pages.
For the pocket fold outs and single pocket insert: Taking the cardstock sheets and cut x3, 4.92in x 11.02in (12.5cm x 28cm) Fold in half so the folded page will measure 4.92in x 4.92in (12.5cm x 14cm) cut x1 single page 4.92in x 5.51in (12.5cm x 14cm).
Front and back book covers: From the off cuts from the pockets and fold out pages, cut 3x, 5.70in x 5.70in (14.5cm x 14.5cm) 1x 5.70in x 0.78in (14.5cm x 2cm)
For the eyelet circle around the circle inside cover: Take the circle die that fits the circle hole, the eyelet circle die and the card-stock. Place the dies on the card-stock and use repositionable tape to secure the dies in position.
For the photo matting: The Cut Mat Create die sets are used for this. Use the die size to fit the photos and journaling wanted for the book. Card-stock and the blue patterned design paper can be used for this as desired.
To make the pockets: Take the boarder die, place and align to the front of the pocket so you are only cutting to the fold of the cardstock. Using the sewing machine, sew the pockets closed. Do this to all the pockets. Adhere to the book pages; this will cover any pre cut circle holes in the pages.
For the finishing of the book pages and pockets: For the matting of the fold out pages: Taking the paper collection, find the design papers with the 6in x 6in (15cm x 15cm) mini prints and the large print design papers with the umbrella and tags. Chose the paper designs and cut to fit the foldout pages and pocket fold out pages. These are all cut a little smaller than the card-stock as matting. Adhere the matting papers in place. Larger photos and journaling can be added later to these pages. You can see the sample mini book has a few card-stock and design paper matting already adhered for photos.
For the 1st book page with the pocket and bauble: First make the flowers and flower buds ready by finding the design paper print with the flowers and lilac buds. Stamp these using the versa-mark, glitter embossing powder and the aid of the Misti-stamping tool. Die cut the images out. Bring shape to the flowers and buds by using the Lush Lilac shaping mold. Bring further shaping to buds and flowers with the flower shaping tool kit. Put aside. Taking the bauble, separate the bauble and cut the hanging loop off with the scissors. Keep one side for this book and put the other side away for another project or book for another time. You could also make 2 books at the same time. If so, you will need double the cardstock and two paper pads for this. Taking the cardstock pieces for the front outside and inside cover of the book, the design paper for the front matting and the circle die that fits the pre-cut circle. Align the die to the papers and cut the circle out. Put the design paper with the circle cut out aside for the front covers later. Adhere all the papers and card-stock in place. The cut out circle from the design paper is aligned and adhered to the placement of the 1/2 bauble. Do this by placing the circle on the pocket and the 1/2 bauble on top. Shift them in place as you close the book cover. The bauble will then fit into the circle hole of the front cover. Taking the card-stock, note scroll image stamp and ink, stamp and die cut. Die cut 3 extra cuts from cardboard and adhere the layers together. Taking the coloring pens, color the flowers and leaves on the scroll image. Trim, as needed the edges of the scroll so it will fit into the bauble when adhered to the design paper circle on the pocket. Adhere in place. Arrange and adhere the flowers to the scroll. If needed, add a little of the diamond stickles to the flower petals to get that glitter bling going. Taking the heart border die from the eyelet hearts die set and die cut the mini hearts from the card-stock as confetti. Place all the confetti, glitter glass, glass beads and sequins onto the scroll then, using wet glue adhere the bauble to its place to make the shaker. Careful not to move all the confetti, glass beads etc. on the scroll or it will stick to the sides. This will be the shaker. Carefully put aside so the glue can dry before the confetti etc. moves as a shaker. Once all is dry, adhere with the hot glue gun the 10 lilac buds to the out side of the bauble circle. Add and adhere the lilac flowers between and on top of the lilac buds to form a flower ring around the bauble. The card-stock single page when matted with the chosen design paper goes into this pocket. The adhered foldout pages are matted with the chosen design papers. 3 are needed for this. The same as for the fold out pages for the pockets, when finished these are slipped into the pocket with the foldout showing on the out side, thus hiding the pocket until opened.
For the inside and outside of the front book cover: Taking the 2 precut 5.70in x 5.70in (14.5cm x 14.5cm) card-stock with the circle cut out of it, adhere to the inside and to the out side cover. Taking the pre-cut eyelet circle ring, adhere this to the inside front cover so the hole is framed. Taking the design paper used to for the circle for the bauble, adhere this to the front cover. Taking the circle dies that makes a 0.39in (1cm) frame for the circle hole in the front cover. Adhere this in place. Adhere the lilac flowers on this frame, 2 deep. Adhere the lilacs 3 deep at the base of the frame as seen in the mini book photo. Thus making a flower frame around the circle hole. Add diamond stickles to bring more bling to the flowers if needed. Taking the cardstock precut for the book cover back and spine, adhere in place. Cut a design paper strip for the spine, adhere in place.
To finish the book: Add photos and journaling as wanted or if you give this book as a gift, the receiver can add photos etc. at their convenience. Using the rest of the collection stamps and dies, you can make more embellishments to add and decorate when the photos are adhered in place.

Instructions: Make card base; you can find instructions on Pinterest or Splitcoast Stampers for making a side step card here. Cover the card with pieces of the paper collection. Cut two ovals and using dimensional tape, adhere them together and then glue down on the card. Using Sweet Plum ink, stamp the sentiment onto the scroll on the paper.
Using Elderberry Memento Ink stamp the lilac petals and color using a dauber and Pearlescent Orchid ink. Using coordinating die cut out the petals and run through the die cutting machine with the Lush Lilac Mold. I shaped a bit more using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Glue half pearls to the center of each petal. When the glue is dry add the flowers to the oval piece and allow that to dry. Next I cut out the lilac scroll from the paper collection. The die fit perfectly so it becomes very easy to let the paper do the heavy lifting. Glue the die cut piece to one of the steps and add lilacs to it. I added three lilacs to another step just to give a bit more color and dimension. Pick out a sentiment from the paper collection and using dimensional tape, adhere it to one of the steps. My card is finished.

Instructions: To make this 6" x 6" card, let's start with the base. Take a 6" x 12" piece of white card stock and score in the middle at the 6" mark. Next layer on a 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" piece of card stock from the Lush Lilac Paper Collection. Now it's time for the squares. You will need four 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares cut from the light purple card stock. You will also need another four 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" squares cut from the dark purple card stock and finally four more 2" x 2" squares cut from the Lush Lilac Paper Collection. Layer the three layers and attach as shown spacing each equally. TIP: I used removable tape so I could position them the way I wanted and then glued them down one at a time. Finally the center rectangle is made up of a layer of dark purple cardstock that measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" layered with a piece of white card stock that measures 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" and attached in the center over the four squares.
The lilac flowers were stamped 2 different ways. The first way was they were stamped on white card stock using Watering Can Ink and die cut with the matching die before distressing with Dark Peony ink and shaping with the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold and accenting the centers with Sunflower Stickles. The second way was they were stamped on white card stock using VersaMark, heat embossed with Super Fine White Embossing powder and die cut with the matching die before distressing with Wisteria ink and shaping with the 3D Lush Lilac Shaping Mold.
The images were stamped on white card stock using Watering Can ink and die cut using the matching dies before coloring with Derwent watercolor pencils and accenting with Baby Blue Liquid Pearls and Wink of Stella Clear.

To see how to shape the mum, watch the video at https://youtu.be/jJBwQyyza6g.
Instructions: The final card measures 5.5" x 4.25". To create this card cut a white card stock to measure the final card base at 5.5" x 4.25". Take a pattern paper that measures 5.4" x 4.1" and distress the edges. Take another pattern paper 1/8" smaller and distress the edges too. Cut two pieces of white card stock measuring 1.5" x 4" and then slit at the middle to form a fish tail banner. Similarly cut 2 pattern paper measuring 1/8" less than the card stock and distress the edges. Adhere all the banners on a 45 degree alignment on a foam adhesive so that it's raised. Die cut 3 pieces of the eyelet heart pieces from the decorative pattern paper and on the top layer stamp the sentiment Thinking of you using black archival ink. This creates the front panel of the card.
For the flowers stamp and die cut several pieces of the enchanted Mum collection from a white card stock and plum archival ink. This time instead of spraying with water I have sprayed with some spray alcohol ink which stained the flowers yellow. Later heat dry them after shaping. Once the flowers are dried added more shades of dried marigold and picked raspberry. Heat set them again and at the end dab some glossy accents on the petal tips and sprinkle some crystal clear. For the leaves it is shaded using library green and leaf green archival ink and also sprinkled with crystal clear and heat set it after shaping the leaf ends.
To finish the card, start assembling all the flowers and leaves to make a cluster around the banners and the hearts. Add a metal key embellishment on the front heart to add the final touch to your card.
