Merry & Bright Cactus!

Hello everyone! Judy here today with a special card for my desert family! While lots of snowmen and snowy trees and holly berries abound, I wanted to make a cactus card, as I am from Arizona. While I have not lived there in many years, it still holds my heart!

Today I am using the Prickly Pear Cactus Stamp Set and Dies. I smooshed the background with watercolors, and then "messy" painted my images with Kuretake Paints. The sentiment stamps perfectly, but ended up on a watercolor splatter! I wrapped gold metallic thread around the top of the pot and added Kaisercraft Pearls to the blossom tops (a spring thing, yes, but... it's Christmas magenta!). An embossing folder added the texture to the middle panel.

You can find more of my projects at my blog, Joy in a JAR, or on Instagram at @joy_in_a_jar. Thanks for stopping by today!

January 27, 2023, Prickly Pear Cactus CLR283 Stamps and PPRS-D283 Dies

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! Seems like the weeks are just flying by! Leslie here, sharing another inspiration project featuring stamps and dies in the new Southwestern Collection! One can never have too many get well cards in their stash so I created one using the Prickly Pear Cactus stamps and coordinating Prickly Pear Cactus dies that I paired with several purple and green patterned papers in my stash. I've always loved a purple and green color combo and I love stamping on patterned paper!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from white cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating purple patterned papers. I cut the edge of the larger panel with a scalloped edge die in my stash.

I stamped the images from the Prickly Pear Cactus stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on purple and green patterned papers and cut them with the coordinating Prickly Pear Cactus dies. I stamped the sentiment in the upper right corner and adhered a few gemstones which completed the card.

January 25, 2023, Prickly Pear Cactus CLR283 Stamps and PPRS-D283 Dies

Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday - I hope you’re having a great week! Leslie here, sharing an inspiration project featuring some of the stamps and dies in the new Southwestern Collection that was just released last month! I created a pretty get well card using the Prickly Pear Cactus stamps and coordinating Prickly Pear Cactus dies that I paired with some pretty patterned paper in my stash.

This was a super easy design that would be great to mass produce to create a gift set! I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from natural cardstock along with layering panels and strips from coordinating patterned papers.

I stamped the images from the Prickly Pear Cactus stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on natural cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and ultra fine point markers, and cut them with the coordinating Prickly Pear Cactus dies. I stamped the sentiment in the lower left corner and added a red enamel heart to the flower pot. I adhered a few gemstones which completed the card.
