Die Cut background using Simply Succulents

Sometimes a card appears in your minds eye even before you’ve bought the stamp set or dies. This is one of those cards. I try to have a few card ideas in my head before I order a stamp set, so that I know that I can get plenty of use out of it. I don’t always manage control my heart, and some stamp sets just land in my craft room, but I try!

Die Cut Background using Simply Succulents and Potted Succulents from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Simply Succulents bundle includes this fabulous background die. However, it is sized for US card sizes, and so doesn’t quite fit the front of one of our UK cards. But I think I’ve managed to make it work here.

Before cutting this intricate die, I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet. This adds glue to the entire piece of card stock, and so makes it much easier to adhere to the card front. The ombre effect was super easy to create as well, using a piece of the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper which is free with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration.

You are Wonderful Rooted in Nature

I will be totally honest with you, this card has been sat on my desk for months! I just haven’t got round to blogging it… until today. I made it for a team challenge a while ago, we were challenged to use Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Mossy Meadow all on one card, and this is what I came up with.

The card base is another colour from the Neutrals family; Gray Granite (my favourite grey colour!), and I added a piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I love this pack of paper for adding fabulous textures, and I have another card using it for you on Friday.

The trees and sentiment are from the Rooted in Nature stamp set (which I hadn’t used for a while, but absolutely LOVE!).

To add some more texture, the piece of Mossy Meadow card stock was crumpled and flatten before being adhered to the card, and the stripe of Night of Navy card stock has torn edges .
