Succulent Framelits Dies

Potted Succulent

This just might be my favorite project…..ever!  Of course, I may change my mind tomorrow.  LOL

I’ve shown this to several people and no one can believe it’s made from cardstock.  It looks SO real!  This was one of our projects at stamp club this week, and each one turned out a little bit different, but all were beautiful.

Stamps:  None (can you believe it?!)

Cardstock:  Old Olive

Ink:  Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Rich Razzleberry

Dies:  Succulent Framelits Dies

Other:  Stamping Sponges, sphagnum moss (non-SU), flower pot (non-SU)

This turned out so cute that I made one to take to my mother-in-law in the hospital.  She doesn’t have good luck with plants, and when she saw it, she said, “That’s cute…..something else I can kill.”  LOL  She couldn’t believe it wasn’t real either!  On hers, I added a sentiment from the Designer Tin of Cards set.  It’s on a popsicle stick layered between a stitched circle of Whisper White, and a scalloped layering circle of Rich Razzleberry.  I also added some Rich Razzleberry vintage ribbon.

I hope you like these as much as I do!  Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today.

Oh So Succulent Birthday

This is another project from this month’s stamp club.  We used the Oh So Succulent bundle to make this card.  I was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Judy May.  You can find her card here.

This was our second project using the Succulents.  We also made a cute potted plant.  If you didn’t get to see that, you can find it here.  It looks SO REAL!

We stamped the three succulents on Shimmery White cardstock.  We colored them with ink pads and Aquapainter, cut them out with the coordinating dies, and popped them up with Dimensionals.

Stamps:  Oh So Succulent

Cardstock:  Rich Razzleberry, Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Shimmery White

Ink:  Basic Gray, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Mint Macaron, Sweet Sugarplum

Paper:  Succulent Garden DSP

Dies:  Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Succulent Framelits

I love the look of square cards, but it can sometimes be hard to find envelopes to fit them.  If you don’t have the Envelope Punch Board, you should grab one of those, so you can make envelopes to fit cards that are not a standard size.  While you’re at it, be sure to stock up on Mint Macaron ink and cardstock.  It’s one of my favorites, and I’m really going to miss it!’

Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today.
