Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Rich Razzleberry Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 2-1/8" x 4-3/8" from Rich Razzleberry Cardstock
- 2" x 4-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 4-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
Lightly spray the Old Olive rectangle with water. This will help you get a deeper impression when you dry emboss it.
Insert the damp Old Olive rectangle into the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the paper inside directly on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
VERY IMPORTANT: You are using only ONE Cutting Pad. If you try to use two, the sandwich will be too thick and you could damage the Big Shot.
Set the dry embossed cardstock aside to let it dry thoroughly.
Tip: You can use a Heat Tool to speed up drying if you wish.
Carefully remove both magnets from the back of the Stamparatus. Be careful NOT to let them get too close to each other or they will snap together and may break.
Place the Stamparatus in front of you with the open sides of the Stamparatus on the left and bottom. Insert one hinged plate into the Stamparatus on the right side. Put the foam mat on the base of the Stamparatus. Put a piece of Small Grid Paper on top of the foam mat on the Stamparatus.
Place the 2-1/4" x 4-1/4" white rectangle on the Stamparatus base. Use magnets to hold the paper in place. Make a note of the lines you put the cardstock on in case you need to replace it.
Pick out the large lily flower image from the Lasting Lily Set. Place it upside down on the upper part of the white rectangle. Pick out the small lily flower image and place it upside down on the lower part of the white rectangle. Close the plate on the Stamparatus and press firmly so the stamps stick to the plate. Open the plate.
Ink up the stamps on the plate using the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. If you get excess ink on the plate, you can wipe it off with a baby wipe or tissue. Close the plate onto the white cardstock and press down firmly. Open the plate.
Tip: Slide a Clear-Mount Stamp Case under the plate before inking up the stamp. This gives you a firm, flat surface to push against making it easier to ink up the stamp.
Tip: If you have a Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Spot on hand, use it to ink up the stamp instead of a full sized ink pad. It will give you more control and will help keep stray ink from getting on the plate.
If you have any areas of the flowers that did not stamp well, you can re-ink the stamps and stamp them again.
Or, you can use a Sponge Dauber with some Rich Razzleberry Ink on it to lightly color in some of the flower area on the stamped image.
Remove the stamped lilies from the Stamparatus and cut them out by hand using Paper Snips.
Remove the hinged plate with the flowers on it and set aside for now. Insert a different hinged plate into the Stamparatus on the top edge.
Place the 2" x 4-1/4" white rectangle on the Stamparatus base. Use magnets to hold the paper in place. Make a note of the lines you put the cardstock on in case you need to replace it.
Pick out the skinny stem with small leaf attached image from the Lasting Lily Set. Place it upside down on the lower part of the white rectangle at a slight angle so the bottom of the stem goes off the bottom of the cardstock and the leaf almost touches the left edge and the top of the stem is about 2" from the top. Close the plate on the Stamparatus and press firmly so the stamp sticks to the plate. Open the plate.

Remove the hinged plate and flip it over. Re-insert it into the Stamparatus on the top edge.
Pick out the fatter stem image from the Lasting Lily Set. Place it upside down on the lower part of the white rectangle so the bottom of the stem just barely goes off the bottom of the cardstock on top of where the previously stamped stem went of the bottom edge and the top of the stem is about 1-1/2" from the top with the stem pretty straight up and down. Close the plate on the Stamparatus and press firmly so the stamp sticks to the plate. Open the plate.

Remove the hinged plate and set it aside. Re-insert the first plate with the flower images on it into the Stamparatus on the left side so the clean side (no stamps on it) is facing down.
Pick out the long, fat leaf image from the Lasting Lily Set. Place it upside down on the lower part of the white rectangle so the bottom of the leaf goes off the bottom of the cardstock on top of where the previously stamped stems went of the bottom edge and the end of the leaf about touches the right edge of the cardstock and is about 2-1/8" from the top. Close the plate on the Stamparatus and press firmly so the stamp sticks to the plate. Open the plate.

Remove the stamped leaf and stems white rectangle. Adhere it to the Rich Razzleberry rectangle.
If the dry embossed Old Olive rectangle is dry, adhere it to the front of the Rich Razzleberry card.
Adhere the matted vanilla leaf/stems rectangle to the front of the card so it is about 1/2" from the bottom and 1/2" from the left edge.
Adhere the cut out flower images to the tops of the stems so they overlap each other a teeny tiny bit and stick out over the left and right edges of the matted rectangle.
Cut a 4" piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon so it has an angle on each end.
Lay the ribbon across the card front horizontally just below where the leaves stick out from the stems. Use a tiny piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the ribbon to hold it in place.
As you are ready to stamp using the Lasting Lily Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the smaller sentiment of your choice from the Lasting Lily Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the smaller white rectangle.
Pick out the stitched oval framelit from the Stitched Shapes Framelits that cuts out a 2-1/4" long oval. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stitched oval framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment oval cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon and the left edge of the oval is over the stems.
Cut a 16" length of Old Olive Linen Thread.
Fold the thread in half. Tie a small bow in the center. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the front of the card on the left side of the oval sentiment cut out.
