Welcome to the January edition of our West Coast Creators Blog Hop!! January seems to be a time that needs a little brightening up (although our weather today is fabulous, so I decided to do a cheery card using the Simply Succulents Bundle. I haven't had time to play with it much, but I really wanted to use the gorgeous, delicate background die. Doesn't the die make a stunning background?
I mounted the lacy diecut onto a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I cut a 1 1/2" strip of Blushing Bride cardstock, and cut each of the long edges with the eyelet die from Ornate Borders Dies. I love the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (DSP), so I thought I would use it, too. I adhered a 1" strip of the Berry Delightful DSP onto the pink strip, and glued that to the diecut layer. I wrapped it twice with the pink twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack, and tied it into a bow. The sentiment--which was stamped in Garden Green--and diecut are both from the Simply Succulents Bundle. I want to add some Pastel Pearls--and will, as soon as they arrive!
Did you know that you can get this DSP--with the wonderful Berry Blessings stamp set for FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration?? This bundle coordinates well with our Sweet Strawberry Bundle (the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and Strawberry Builder Punch), which is also in our new January to June Mini Catalogue.
