Hydrangea Hill - Potted Succulents Thank You Card

It is time again for Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights contest! I would like to ask for your vote again, please! If you like my card, please click on the link below, and vote for me by clicking on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (which is card #39), until you see the heart turn red.  

Our January to June Mini Catalogue is filled with AMAZING new products! I have several favourites, and this card showcases two of them--our gorgeous Potted Succulents Dies and beautiful Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (DSP). This is a variation of a card I recently made for a team swap. 

The large die creates a STUNNING background for any card! I added a piece of adhesive sheet to the back of a 4" x  5-3/8" piece of Purple Posy cardstock. Then I cut it with the large die, and mounted it on a 4" x 5-3/8" piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I cut a 4" x 2" piece of the Hydrangea DSP, and glued it to a Gorgeous Grape border (4" long) cut with one of the Ornate Borders dies, which just peeks out from the top of the piece. 

A 7" length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon was tied using a bow maker, wrapped around the card, and then the ends were attached to the back of the cardstock with glue dots. The card front was adhered to an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4") Gorgeous Grape card base. 

The sentiment (from Simply Succulents) was stamped in Gorgeous Grape on Basic White Cardstock, then cut with one of the lovely stitched dies from Potted Succulents Dies. I finished the card by adding three Highland Heather Pastel Pearls.

Simply Succulents - Berry Delightful Card

 

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.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope that you will leave a comment before you visit the other stops on the blog hop. We have some really talented designers in this group, so be sure to check out their creations!
