Hello to those of you who have popped by today to see my latest project. I hope you like what you see.

For this card I cut 1″ strips of FLOWERING CACTUS DSP and then used the new TREASURED TAGS PICK A PUNCH.

The range of PICK A PUNCH punches are so versatile and this one is no different. You can choose from two banner end shapes and three different widths. That gives you 6 different options.

The Pear Pizzazz panel was given this texture by using the TASTEFUL TEXTILE3D EMBOSSING FOLDER.

The punched strips of DSP were then glued onto the embossed card stock at various heights and angles.

The cactus and flower were fussy cut from a piece of the DSP.

I used the TREASURED TAGS PUNCH again for the sentiment, which I think is such a wonderful thing to say to someone.

If I make this card a second time, I think that I would skip the embossing and use dimensionals on some of the DSP strips to lift them off the card front. What do you think? What else would you suggest?

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome back to day 5 of cactus cards. After today, only three more to go. Then I want you to tell me which one is your favourite.

I created a textured, background card panel by using one of the FLOWERING CACTUS DIES. It gives the appearance of being prickly.

I die cut two of the different cactus shapes from this panel. The pickle-looking cactus was sponged around the edges and then popped up onto dimensionals and placed it back in its originl place.

The ‘heart’ shape cactus was die cut from DSP and popped up also.

Both of the linen threads from the product medley were used to tie the layered bow.

I’m not sure what types of flowers these different cactii have in nature, but for my card Calypso Coral felt is perfect.

When I showed one of my daughters this card, she took a photo and sent it to a friend because her friend says ‘Kind people are my kind of people’. It is such a small world.

I love it when I can imagine a new card design before I start and it turns out even better when I’ve finished the project.

Happy stamper – happy stamping.

Welcome to my latest post – I hope you like what you see. If you do, I would love you to leave me a comment before you pop out.

When I first saw the SNAIL MAIL SUITE I knew I would need to add it to my ever growing stash – it is just too stinking CUTE!

I also had to laugh when I saw the postsnail on the SNAIL MAIL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER because I often lament how slow the mail is in Australia. Hence, my post title – AT A SNAIL’S PACE.

This card was inspired by one of Patty Bennets’ Christmas projects.

I knew my first card, using this suite, needed to use Patty’s design.

I used Bermuda Bay for the background and Granny Apple Green to create the grassy hills, using the CURVY DIES.

The only stamping I did on this card was the ‘happy mail’ image and the trio of mushrooms on the inside of the card and the envelope.

The rest of the images have been fusst cut from some of the SNAIL MAIL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

Theis little snail community, living among the mushrooms is such a fun card.

Both sides of the pull out piece have the grass, snails and mushrooms. And the card still opens out as a tent fold.

The final touch was adding some RESIN HEARTS.

The SNAIL MAIL SUITE is so comprehensive and it gives us some twine again!

Do you agree that the suite is cute?

There will definitely be more projects to come.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
