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!

Simply Succulents Bundle

Simply Succulents Bundle

 If you’re looking for a stamp set and dies you can use all year long, look no further! The Simply Succulents Bundle has sentiments you’ll reach for often: Thanks, You’ve been on my mind, Kind people are my kind of people, and You make the ordinary extraordinary. The dies in the bundle coordinate with the sentiments so you can create quick labels and tags. And you can use the flowers in the large die to create a background or cut them apart to make smaller accents. There’s so much you can do with this bundle!

Here are some beautiful samples from the Stampin' Up! design team!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Here is another card I designed using the Simply Succulents Stamp Set. For this card I stamped the large succulent image repeatedly on the card front using Terracotta Tile Card Stock and Terracotta Tile Ink. I then die cut a Basic Black C/S square using the Layering Squares Die and a Basic White scallop square. I stamped the sentiment onto the scallop square using Memento Black Ink and the So Sentimental Stamp Set. I stamped a small succulent flower using Pear Pizzaz Ink and cut it out and attached it to the squares. I finished the card off with some ribbon and Rhinestones. This technique would look great using all different card stock colours and inks. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!!
