Simply Succulents and Potted Succulents Dies

These were fun cards to make!!  I used the Simply Succulents Bundle (Simply Succulents Stamp Set and Potted Dies) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue to create these cards.  

To create these card fronts, I taped the large die onto a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Basic White Card Stock on to my Stampin'Up grid paper using painters tape.  Then I used the new Stampin'Up Blender brushes and gradually blended a combination of the four ink colours - Pretty Peacock, Mint Macaroon, Costal Cabana and Bermuda Bay - onto the card stock. 

 

I created the second and third card fronts at one time.  I first cut the large die shape out of Basic White Cardstock and taped the cut out shape (using painters tape again) onto a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Basic White. Again I used the Blender Brushes to gradually colour the die cut shape.  I then removed the die cut shape and used the white cardstock below to create the front of a card.  I also adhered the cut out shape to a piece of white cardstock I had also coloured using the blender brushes. 

I then created labels, and added ribbons and embellishments to decorate the front of each card.
