Simply succulent bundle....with sparkle!

This is one of the sets I didn't think I needed till recently. What really sold me on it was the large background die that came with the bundle. I am totally in love with it! Today I am sharing a few cards that focus on that background die.

These first two are super easy but totally gorgeous! I used the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056) with the background die cut out in Thick White Cardstock (#159229) for the first one and Basic black cardstock (#121045) for the second one. I used a sponge on a binder clip dipped in multipurpose liquid glue to glue it all together. The saying is from the Simple Succulent set that comes in the Potted Succulent bundle (#154330).

The next card was actually really fun to do. I cut out TWO of the backgrounds in white cardstock. I glued one down to a piece of cardstock (4-1/2 x 5-1/2). Using the die as my guide, I colored in the succulents using the blender markers. It looked kind of messy! After I was done coloring, I glued another background over the first. That covered up all my mistakes on the first one and really made it pop!

This last one was the hardest one, but the most beautiful! I have a tutorial at the end to show how I did it. It is really stunning in person! I think I like the white outline the best.

I'd love to see what you come up with using this technique! I'd be happy to help you order any Stampin' Up! products you see here (glitter is retired! Sorry!) The supplies are listed below as well as a link to my online store.

Happy Stampin!

Fridays challenge #63

This week has been crazy. We had a fun Labor day and then actually went to school the rest of the week! The storms decided to stay away for a while. I'm glad. Our challenge this time was a color challenge. The colors are Ridinghood red, Tangerine and Pacific Point. All new In Colors at Stampin' Up! for the new catalog. I love all these colors but, together....they were a challenge! I decided to play up the red and blue and use the tangerine as a highlight. I pulled out my True Friend stamp set and stamped the large medallion style stamp all over the ridinghood red using my basic black stamp pad. It looked okay....but then I remembered the Banadana technique Pat shared in a recent Technique Junkie newsletter . You all know how much I LOVE my white gel pen, so...I went to work. I won't tell you how the bandana technique works, you'll have to visit Pat for that info. She puts out a fabulous newsletter every other month, FULL of great stampin ideas. I hear she has some gre...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...
