Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We had a nice time with our friends yesterday before my YouTube video (we ALMOST didn’t get back in time for the video – I looked at my watch and…we had 20 min to get home! 😳😳). And then on the way, there was a little dog in the road – and he was standing right in front of the van – would NOT move. So…naturally, we had to pick him up. After a few minutes we were able to find his family – he’d gone walk-about – and I (sort of reluctantly, I admit – he was VERY cute and VERY sweet!) handed him over. And we beat feet (or tires?) back to the house. I quite literally walked in the door with 30 sec to start time! Yikes!
The card I made for you uses a sweet little set – sort of a flyover – it took me a minute to get it, myself! – called the Cactus Cuties bundle. I also pulled out the retiring-soon-and-on-sale-now-for-20%-off! Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. And you MIGHT see a brand new goody, too! Take a look-see:
The color palette for this one is from the Global Design Project color challenge this week.
If you were able to join me last night for my almost-late YouTube video, I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not and you’d like to see how to make this cutie, here’s the replay on YouTube!
I started by stamping the little flower image from the Cactus Cuties set in Whisper White Ink all over an Early Espresso cardstock panel. Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blushing Bride mat.
Next – using the largest banner die in the coming-soon-in-the-new-Annual-Catalog Stylish Shapes Dies…
…I cut out four banners from more Early Espresso cardstock. I embossed them all in the Macrame 3D Embossing folder and adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue. I sort of staggered them on the card front.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered a Basic White circle that I’d cut with the next-to-largest Stylish Shapes circle die (it’s about 2 1/2″ across).
On a piece of Basic White I stamped the various Cactus Cuties cactus shapes in Soft Sea Foam ink. I used the Cactus Builder Punch to cut out the barrel cactus and the small “ear” pieces. I fussy cut the two-arm Saguaro cactus.
Then I stamped the little flower again – twice in So Saffron and twice in Blushing Bride – and cut them out with the Cactus Builder Punch.
Then I stamped two pots – one in Early Espresso (which I cut with the punch) and one in So Saffron (which I fussy cut).
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered all the little cacti pieces together and added the pots, too.
I adhered the barrel cactus to the circle, using Liquid Glue and a few Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top “branch”. Then I popped the saguaro on with Stampin’ Dimensionals – including a double-stack of Dimensionals under the top of the longest arm
I tied a little bow from two lengths of white Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
I stamped the Cactus Cuties sentiment in Blushing Bride on Basic White and cut it with the smallest banner in the Stylish Shapes die set. I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, I added some white Classic Matte Dots to both cacti and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped another Cactus Cuties sentiment in Blushing Bride on a Basic White panel. Then I stamped the saguaro in Soft Sea Foam and added a few flowers in So Saffron.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my So Saffron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more Cactus Cuties on the front….
…and…even more on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! Yep – it’s an easy bundle to miss, but…Cactus Cuties for sure lives up to its name, doesn’t it?!? I love that it’s a punch bundle, too! Do NOT miss the opportunity to get the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder before it’s gone-baby-gone! I mean – it’s on sale and everything! And…I’m not saying even one more word about the new Stylish Shapes dies. Just…3 May. Get them FIRST! 😉
I hope you like!
