Oh So Succulent

It’s a Round for Mother’s Day

· 4 Comments

This week over at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday, we have a really cool sketch to work with!

Just see for yourself –

Challenge #319. Optional Theme : Circle or Oval card

How cool is this?!?! We don’t create shaped cards too often these days, so this is refreshing!

I went with a lovely floral-ish card –

I think this is just soo sweet! My mom will love it! I loved the sparkly strip from the glimmer paper myself.

This pattern from the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper is cool in that you can actually use the coordinating framelits to cut out the preprinted flowers in the paper!!!! So, that’s what I did. Hah, minimal stamping!

Both the framelits and the stamp set are retiring. However, they are on SALE which makes it really nice on the pocketbook. The framelits are only $16.50 (regularly $33!) and the stamp set, Oh So Succulent, is $15.75 (regularly $21!). Did I mention the paper is on sale too?  What a bargain!!!

I hope I have inspired you with my round card! You can see the other Design Team cards on the blog or our Facebook page. You can also link up a card in either place too! Come join us! It’s fun!

Supplies –

  • Stamp Set – Oh So Succulent
  • Framelits – Succulent Framelits
  • Bundles – Oh So Succulent Bundle
  • Card Stock – Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White
  • Ink – Early Espresso
  • DSP – Succulent Garden
  • Other – 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack
Happy Stampin’
