Sometimes you want to make a card for someone special. One that you don’t mind putting in a little extra time into for that extraordinary person. This set is perfect for that occasion. It’s called Simply Succulents and I think it’s simply beautiful!
Color, Cut, & Glue
I don’t always want to sit down and color, but there are times when I find it very relaxing and fun. Perhaps I should have looked at some pictures of succulents to get the colors to be realistic. I just went with what was in my head and I kind of like the end result! The Blends Markers that I worked with are Just Jade, Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Highland Heather, and Purple Posy. The can is Smoky Slate. I colored and cut out the pieces with the coordinating Succulents Dies.
Use Your Dies in a New Way
Included in this die set is one big plate that looks like a background die. It’s beautiful and I wanted to use it, but I knew it would be too busy for this project. So I used it as an embossing plate instead! Did you know you can use your dies that way? You need a special pad, such as this one I found on Amazon by Spellbinders, and when you sandwich it in with your Die-cutting machine, it turns your dies into embossing tools! I used it on the white background to give it texture. Pretty cool!
I used Basic Gray for the sentiment, cropped it with one of the dies in the set, and bedazzled it with some pink rhinestones that I saved from a retired pack. (You can color ordinary rhinestones with your Blends to make them extraordinary!)
Purchase this Simply Succulent Bundle HERE and make some special cards for the extraordinary people in your life. Many ordinary workers have done some extraordinary things during this pandemic, so send them a card! And relax for a few minutes and enjoy the process of making it for them.
Have a wonderful, restful, and safe weekend,
