Category: Flowering Cactus

Hello to each of you. Thanks for popping by to see my latest post.

Today, I want to share another card that has a die cut cactus overlay. The POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES has a large overlay die that is an impact element for any project. I shared an earlier card that had the overlay with water colouring below.

This cards is really very uncomplicated.

The card base and overlay are both Basic Gray. A piece of the DSP from the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY was used. The cactus was also cut from the DSP using a die from the same medley.

My go to STITCHED RECTANGLE DIES was used to cut the sentiment.

As I said, this is an uncomplicated card design. I think the white outline around the cactus helps to lift it up from the overlay – it seems much cleaner this way.

Who, in your life, makes the ordinary extraordinary? I’m thrilled that I have a few of them in my life.

Happy stamping.

Hello to my creative friends – thanks for popping by again. I truly appreciate your support.

I have a friend who really likes succulents and has them in her garden and in lovely wide, shallow pots.

This is a card I made on a recent Facebook Live. I wanted to do some messy water colouring and overlay the die cut frame over the top.

I used the widest of the set of three WATER PAINTERS to swirl splotches of colour onto some FLUID 100 WATERCOLOUR PAPER. Once it was dry, I adhered the overlay piece of Basic Gray card stock that was cut using one of the POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES.

The birthday greeting is from the FLOWERING CACTUS STAMP SET and it was cut with one of the other POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES. These two product bundles (medley) work very well together.

The other twine found in the product medley is Calypso Coral. I teamed it with the Basic Gray Twine from the WELL SUITED TWINE COMBO PACK.

Another feature of the product medley is the packet of felt floral shapes in both Calypso Coral and Highland Heather.

It’s been fun using these new products and each time I finish one, I’m ready to move onto another.

Happy stamping.
