Simply Succulents

Hello to each of you who pops by and checks out my post today.

As promised, I have moved on from wedding cards!

The latest products, on my desk to create with, are the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS BUNDLE and the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY.

FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY (ENGLISH)

I wanted to use both of these new products in conjunction with each other.

The Designer Series Paper is from the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY and the image and sentiment stamps are from the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS STAMP SET.

I used the masking technique to stamp the image. The succulents were stamped first and then the mask placed over it, before the pot was stamped.

The succulents were coloured using STAMPIN’ BLENDS and the pot was coloured with the Cajun Craze Water Colour Pencil from the WATERCOLOUR PENCILS ASSORTMENT 2 and blended it with a BLENDER PEN.

As you can see, I trimmed the left half of the stamped cardstock using a trimmer and fussy cut the right half. I wanted to soften the vertical lines of the DSP.

There are two new linen threads in this medley. I used the natural one for this card.

And, some CLEAR WINK OF STELLA finished the card.

Happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. Remember, that if you live in Australia, you can order any of them by clicking on the icons/images below – this will take you to my 24 hour online store.

Why am I so interested in DAY 3 from Christmas?

In 10 days, from today, you will be able to order from the new 2021 JANUARY -JUNE MINI CATALOGUE and SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE.

So, for these remaining days, I want to show you some of the new products and projects that I’ve made so that you can start to get excited.

There are many benefits during the first two months of the Mini Catalogue, when the SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE gives you the opportunity to earn FREE PRODUCTS.

Between now and January 5th, you have time to explore the new mini catalogue and sale-a-bration brochure. You have this time to look at all the new products, think about what you want to add to your crafting collection and plan your order.

Today the project I am sharing uses one of the SALE-A-BRATION FREE PRODUCTS – the DARLING DONKEY STAMP SET.

This is also a great time to think about joining Stampin’ Up!®. There are many great reasons to join that I will share with you over the next few days.

First of all, if you enjoy being creative and love using Stampin’ Up! products, like I do, then you will love saving $$$$$ if you join.

Tomorrow, I will share information another benefit of joining.

First, let me tell you about the ongoing product discount you will earn on personal/demonstrator orders after you join.

Would you like to receive a minimum 20% discount on all your orders (before postage)?

This is this the first level discount avaiable to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators (a ‘demonstrator’ is a person who has joined Stampin’ Up! – some are ‘hobby’ demonstrators who join to receive the discount for themselves and others may be growing their crafting business. It does not matter where you are, or want to be, in your Stampin’ Up! journey; when you join, you enjoy the same product discounts.

After you join, if you place a $180 order, you will pay $144 (before postage). During SAB, this order will also qualify you for 2 Level 1/ 1 Level 2 SAB products.

Today’s project uses the SAB DARLING DONKEY STAMP SET and OH SO OMBRE DSP. To earn both of these SAB products, you will need a minimum $180 order (before postage).

I decided to stamp this thoughtful little donkey and then create a mirror image as he sits by the water. The donkey, grass and water were all coloured using Stampin’ Blends in Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate.

I also used Basic Gray card stock, Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and silver Metallic Pearls.

The greeting can be found in the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS STAMP SET and was cut using the coordinating POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES.

The SIMPLY SUCCULENTS BUNDLE (156264) can be ordered for $95.25, earning you a FREE SAB product.

You could choose either the DARLING DONKEYS STAMP SET or the OH SO OMBRE 6″x 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

The colours in this DSP range are Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green and Rococo Rose. I love the way the ombre effect starts lightly in one corner and radiates out, getting darker as it approaches the opposite corner and sides.

I hope you are enjoying the 12 Days from Christmas previews. Make sure you drop by tomorrow for more.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
