To make Easter Lilies:

1. Punch the Star Lily 6 times in White Cardstock.  use 6 of the same size shapes to make the Easter Lily.
2. Using the Ink Applicator, lightly rub the base of each shape with ink.
3. Place shapes on the Craft Molding Mat.  Using the 8mm stylus, press down into the center of the shape and you move the tool in a circular motion over the entire punched shape.  As you do this the paper will curl up around the stylus.
4. Place the tweezers at the smaller, defined end of the shape.  With your index finger and thumb, pinch the paper around the end of the tweezers.
5. Sliding the tweezers out and holding the pinched end between your finger and thumb, use the tweezers to grasp each side of the shape and roll back to form the petal.
6. Punch a Crystal out of cardstock and place on the Craft Molding Mat.  Using the 3mm stylus at a 90 degree angle to the paper.  Press down and roll the stylus around in the center to form a cup.  This forms the flower base to attach petals and leaves.  
7. Dip the narrow end of the 6 Lily petals in glue and attach them to the cupped Crystal arms.  
8. Punch a Starburst shape in Witch Hazel Cardstock.  Color the round tips of both sides with the Tombow Marker. 
9. To make the Stamen:  Follow Step #6 to cup Starburst shape, pinch the base of the Starburst to make tighter.
10. Punch 2 Star Lily in Cardstock.  Using two of the same size petals, follow Steps #3-5 to prepare the leaves.
11. Glue leaves around the base to complete the Easter Lily.
