STAMPIN' UP! SIMPLY SUCCULENTS STRIPED CARDS

 One of the items you can choose for free, with a $90 purchase of Stampin' Up! products until the end of September, is the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper:

I'm really not into the cutesy animal prints, but love the colours in this pack of papers.  I have two cards to share with you today, made with the polka dot and the striped papers from this pack, and using the Picture This Dies:

I decided the Simply Succulents stamp set would be a great one to use, with the colours in these papers.

Here is the first card I came up with, using the die with the round apertures:

I coloured the succulents using Stampin' Blends markers, in Soft Sea Foam, Just Jade and Fresh Freesia.  The pot was coloured with Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends, and the Color Lifter pen, and the sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

I die cut some succulent pieces from Just Jade, Soft Sea Foam and Fresh Freesia card.  Embellishments added, to finish off my card, were a Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon bow, and some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

Here is the second card, made using the Picture This Die with rectangular apertures:

Again, I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink.  After die-cutting it with a sentiment label die from the Potted Succulents Die set, it fit nicely inside the top rectangular window:

I used the same coloured Stampin' Blends to colour the succulents, and the same coloured card to die-cut the additional succulent pieces.  In Color Jewels adorn the coloured plants, and I added a bow made from Flowers For Every Season ribbon.

Because I used a Just Jade card base for this second card, I adhered a Basic White panel inside.  I trimmed down the rectangles die-cut from the striped paper, and decorated the inside of the card with them:

Listed below are all the products I used to make these cards.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
