Hurray! I’ve finally had a chance to use my new preorder products. With my dad having quadruple bypass surgery unexpectedly last week, I have been back and forth to the hospital.
But…today I get to share a card I made with the awesome new set, Oh So Succulent and matching Succulent Framelits! It is also my turn to offer the Create with Connie and Mary HOLIDAY BLOG CANDY. Just LEAVE A COMMENT TODAY (Monday, 12/12) here on my blog and you will be entered into a drawing for my Blog Candy – a free subscription to Create with Connie and Mary December Mini Edition featuring projects using products in the OCCASIONS and SALE-A-BRATIONS catalogs! Isn’t that exciting?
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Garden Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded to form base card.
- On the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White, a 1-1/2 x 4 strip of Succulent Garden Designer Paper was placed along the bottom.
- A 1/2 x 4 strip of Garden Green cardstock was placed across to hide the seam.
- A piece of 1/8″ Gold Ribbon was added over the strip and adhered to the back to secure.
- The succulents from Oh So Succulent Stamp Set were stamped with Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz and Sweet Sugarplum Inks on scrap Whisper White and cut with the Succulents Framelits. They were added to the top of the Whisper White layer.
- The greeting from Oh So Succulents was stamped with Garden Green Ink under the succulents.
- Some Gold Sequins were added to the front for a little bling!

Thanks for the sneak peak! I think I’m really going to like this stamp set.
Beautiful! This is my favorite stamp set in the whole catalog! First thing I put on my order. I need to try it out very soon (if it just wasn’t so cold in my studio!). Thanks for showing this lovely card.
I really like your card today. I didn’t think I wanted the Succulent Set, but now I don’t know!!
Love it! I\’m ready for spring :o)
This stamp set is growing on me!
I love this new stamp set. It is my favorite so far.
Pretty, as always with your card ideas!!
Your card has changed my mind about buying this set. Love it.
I ordered the Stamp Set! Can’t believe I didn’t order the Thinlits! Guess it is going on the next order!
Thanks for all you do and inspire us with your creativity!!
Best wishes for your father’s recovery.
Nice card. I don’t think I would have used these colors together but it really made for a pretty card.
Oh how you tempt us, Connie! Such a lovely new stamp set. I can hardly wait for January when SAB and the new Occasions catalog cone out!!! I love the “Oh, So Succulent” bundle and matching DSP and how you used it here on this card for the blog hop. Only a bit less than three weeks until we can use your inspiration with these new stamps! Thanks for sharing!!! -Donna
So sorry to hear about your father, hope he recovers fast and has a full recovery. My FIL had 2 stents put in the week of Thanksgiving and he is going great at age 87.
Pretty card today. I really like the Garden Green with the Calypso Coral with the sweet touch of the Pear Pizzaz and Sweet Sugarplum. The stamp set is fun too. Great birthday card.
Great card! I have not seen the new catalogues as yet, but I have heard the Succulent suite referred to in some of the blogs. My initial thoughts were – well, there is one stamp set/framelit/paper stack I won’t be tempted by! (I usually like flowers, or soft, cuddly stamping, and “succulent” conjured up visions of flower-less, prickly cacti.) But your card at least stated me thinking in another direction – I will have to wait until I actually see the catalogue. Sending Best Wishes and Blessings to your father, and your family.
I love the colors you chose. And such a lovely card design, yet so simple. Thanks so much for sharing!
Looking forward to more of your creations from the Occasions catalog…love your weekly “blog hops”…so many ideas!
What a fun little set! And thanks for the chance at the blog candy! SWEET!
What a pretty card! Hope your dad is much better everyday.
