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!
CACTUS CUTIES
This set is really SO cute and easy to make up some easy-to-put-together cacti! And this greeting is just FUN!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Just Jade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Sahara Sand cardstock is embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder (carryover from the July-Dec Mini Catalog).
- A 3/4 x 3-1/4 piece of In Good Taste DSP was added towards the bottom.
- The large cactus was stamped with Just Jade Ink, the container with Bumblebee Ink, the other plant with Cherry Cobbler Ink and that container (trimmed from the larger one) in Misty Moonlight Ink. All were stamped on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut, then placed on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Linen Thread was doubled and tied in a bow, then added to the plant.
- The greeting from Cactus Cuties was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink and cut with the rectangle die in Picture This Dies. It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Playing With Patterns Resin Dots were added to the cactus.
I used three of the four retiring colors on today’s card…make sure to grab the refills and extra cardstock before they officially retire and sell out! And be 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!
