Stampin' Up!® Cactus Cuties - Retiring Bundle

 


Now through June 30, or while supplies last, shop the Retiring Products - retiring from the 2022 Jan-June Mini Catalog.  Some items are discounted up to 50%.   Shop HERE.



This card was created using the  retiring Cactus Cuties Bundle (stamp set + cactus builder punch).

Bundle Item #158058

Details

  • Card base:  Early Espresso card stock, 8.5" x 5.5", fold in half .
  • Layer of DSP:  He's The Man Designer Specialty Paper (in the Annual Catalog), cut 5" x 3.75".
  • Stamp the cactus images, flower & pots onto white card stock:
    • larger cactus:  Soft succulent ink
    • Small cactus:  Parakeet Party ink
    • Small flower:  Calypso Coral ink
    • Pots:  Crumb Cake ink
  • Punch & fussy cut all images.
  • Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso ink.
  • Punch or die-cut a circle out of white CS piece.
  • Cut a strip of contrasting piece of DSP. 
  • Assemble it all as show in the photo (I used Stampin' Dimensionals).
  • I made a faux bow with linen thread & glued behind the sentiment before adhering to the card.
  • Add some Rustic Metallic Adhesive-backed Dots.  
Voila!  There you have it!  Try varying the greens of the cactus, or change the color of the pots...your choice.

...And speaking of color options, take a look at my 2nd card:



The card uses the same Cactus Cuties Bundle (#158058).  I used some new 2022-2024 In Colors on this one.  My inspiration was the colors in South Western pottery & textiles.

Details
  • Card base:  new Sweet Sorbet CS, 8.5" x 5.5", fold in half.  Card will be in the "landscape" orientation.
  • A layer of another piece of Sweet Sorbet 5.5" x 4.25" that I embossed with Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to give it some texture.
  • Layer of Early Espresso CS, 4 1/8" x 3 1/8".
  • Stamped layer:  White CS, 4" x 3".
  • Pots:  Espresso, new Tahitian Tide, Calypso Coral.
  • Cactus: Evening Evergreen  ink in the blue pot; Pear Pizzazz ink in the orange pot, and new Parakeet Party ink for the third cactus - but stamp this on a separate piece of white CS & use the Builder Punch to punch it out (then glue to card).
  • Small flower:  Sweet Sorbet, stamp then punch out.  Use small glue dot to adhere it atop the cactus of your choice
  • Stamp sentiment in Tahitian Tide ink.
  • Add a small linen thread bow.
There you have the second card.  I'll bet you can think of your own variation on this design!!
