Oh So Succulent & BLOG CANDY!

December 12, 2016 By Connie | 27 Comments

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?

 

oh-so-succulent
Here are the details…

  • 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!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    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.

The NEW Annual Catalog is here and we are SO excited with all the FUN new things it offers!  Nothing can make you smile more than seeing a garden full of colorful pansies, so for our first Collection we just couldn’t resist the gorgeous Pansy Patch Bundle.  We know you’ll love the embossed Pansy Dies that enhance the detailed Pansy Patch stamp set.  Plus, it has some beautiful font greetings!  We’ve used PANSY PATCH BUNDLE with the PANSY PETALS DESIGNER PAPER for a colorful Collection with four card ideas and two gift packaging ideas!  See more details HERE!

While we anxiously wait for the new Annual Catalog, do you want a perfect QUICK & EASY Product Class idea that features a couple retiring items?  Or, do you often need a little gift box in a hurry?  Have your customers (or you!) purchase the Perfect Parcel Dies (clearance for $14) and Flowers for Every Season Designer Paper (clearance for $6.90).  You’ll get four different box ideas (two are uniquely altered!) using this colorful and seasonal Collection and will have a TON of designer paper left to make more!  See more details HERE!

We think our Sweet Strawberry Collection is one of our “sweetest” ones yet!  BUT…it isn’t JUST for strawberries…you’ll love one of our “unusual” ideas for the punch!  We’ve used Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and Strawberry Builder Punch, along with Snail Mail Designer Paper in this bright and fun-filled Collection with three card ideas (one a unique fun fold!) and a different type of box that holds a LOT!  See more details HERE!
