An Oldie But A Goodie!

By
Before i became a demonstrator I made a purchase of a second hand Stampin' Up bundle: Oh So Succulent and the matching dies.
It was a set I had always hankered after but missed out when it was current. I was lucky to find it when I was browsing Ebay and I snapped it up immediately!
So I've had a bit of a play and this is what I made


The succulent images were stamped and coloured with a combination of Stampin' Markers and coloured pencils. They were then die cut on my Big Shot. The vase is a die cut circle cut in half and the die cut images were arranged on top of it with glue and dimensionals.
The background is the recently retired Hardwood stamp and the Country Floral 3D embossing folder which is available in the current catalogue.

I really love succulents and I'm just about to start preparing a patch of ground in my garden which I'm going to turn into a succulent and alpine garden - that's if it doesn't rain again!!

Thanks for looking in on me today - see you soon - J xx

Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
