Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Plants”, and we each create a simple card every week using that theme!
I’ve had already stamped the cactus for this card and it was sitting in my bag of “starts”. I pulled it out to create this card around it! Love when I can use up a couple of things in my bag.
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Coastal Cabana cardstock is added on top.
- A 2-1/4 x 5 piece of Sweet Talk Designer Paper was adhered along the bottom with a 1 x 4 piece of coordinating Sweet Talk DSP adedd across it.
- The cactus was stamped with Garden Green and the pot with Coastal Cabana Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut/punched with the Cactus Builder Punch.
- The flowers were punched from Sweet Talk DSP with the punch.
- Hello was stamped with Garden Green Ink on a 1/2 x 1-1/2 piece of Sweet Talk DSP.
- Everything was added to a Stitched Rectangle Die cut from Basic White cardstock.
- Some Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the background and the pot.
Such a cute and cheery card, don’t you think? Would make someone’s day to get this in the mail! Make sure to check out what Mary did this week for her “Plants” Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary! Stay tuned next week for another Creatively Simple “Plants” card!
