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!
ARTFULLY LAYERED
This card actually has no stamping on it besides the greeting! I’ve just got out plants from the Bloom Where You Are Planted Designer Paper! SO easy!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Evening Evergreen cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Very Vanilla cardstock is added on top.
- The 1-3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP was added to the right side.
- A 3/4 x 4 piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock was adhered across the bottom.
- Three of the plant images from the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP were cut out and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Thank You from Artfully Layered stamp set was stamped with Evening Evergreen Ink on scrap Very Vanilla cardstock, then cut with the Hippo & Friends label die.
- A trio of green Holiday Rhinestones were added to the background and label.
See…SUPER simple right? Make it even easier by stamping on a strip of Very Vanilla and eliminating the die! 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!
