Simply Succulent Birthday Card

 Simply Succulent Birthday Card

This is one of the projects we made at our latest Card Club. We used the Simply Succulent Bundle to create this beautiful card!

Directions:

Cut a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".  

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S and using a Blending Brush, add Coastal Cabana Ink to this panel. 

Die cut the large succulent panel using Brushed Metallic Card Stock. Attach it to the Coastal Cabana inked panel using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Attach them to the card base.

Stamp the succulent plant onto Basic White C/S using Memento Black Ink. Color in using Stampin Blends. I played around with different Stampin' Blends colours for the succulents. On one card I used Parakeet Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin Blends and on the second card I used Granny Apple Green and Fresh Freesia Stampin Blends. I like the lighter one which is the Parakeet Party. Once you have finished colouring it, die cut it out and attach it to the card using Dimensionals. Splatter with some Wink Of Stella.

Add some loops of black thread or Simply Elegant Trim onto the succulent. 

Die cut a Basic White C/S tag and stamp a sentiment in Memento Black Ink. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Die cut some Basic Black C/S flowers and a sprig. Attach to the succulent die cut tucking them just under the tag.

Add a few Metallic Pearls, Opal Rounds, Pearls or Rhinestones to finish off the card. 

I like to leave tiny bits of white space when I use Stampin Blends on flowers. I think it looks more realistic. I also added a tiny bit of the Light Fresh Freesia Stampin Blends to the tips of some of the succulent flowers on the Parakeet Party sample.

For the inside I stamped the small succulent flower, colored it with Stampin Blends and I added a sentiment stamped in Coastal Cabana Ink. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Easy Fun Fold

 Easy Fun Fold With Flowing Flowers

This is a quick and easy fun fold card. 

I used some new products from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalogue and the Sunshine And Rainbows Designer Series Paper that I used can be earned for FREE with a $60.00 order from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue! 

Sale-A-Bration Catalogue

Directions:

Cut a Pool Party Card Stock base of 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" and score at 3".

Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper: 1@ 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" and 1 @ 2 3/4" x 5 1/2". Attach them to the card as shown.

Using the Layering Circles Dies, die cut one Basic White C/S circle, one Pool Party circle slightly larger and one Basic Black Scalloped circle slightly larger. 

Stamp the flower from Flowing Flowers onto the Basic White C/S circle using Pool Party Ink and then stamp the sentiment over top using memento Black Ink. 

Layer the circles together. I used Dimensionals on the basic White circle.

Attach the circles to the card front using Dimensionals *only on half of the circle.*

Attach a Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon bow under the circle using a Glue Dot. 

Super simple right! Change the Designer Series Paper and Card Stock and image the endless possibilities!! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!!
