VIDEO: Window Box Project: Paper Succulent Garden Dish

Time flies! I created this project over six weeks ago and finally got to make the video tutorial this weekend. It has been so crazy at our house this spring! I love the way this turned out and I wanted to be sure to share it because the Succulent Framelits are retiring and will not be available after tomorrow (May 31, 2017). And hot dog! They are on sale for 50% off!! Make sure to order them before they go away! I used the Window Box Thinlit to create the succulent dish. It's not retiring, but you'll want to order it too so you can create this project! See More Window Box Projects.

Watch my video tutorial as I walk you through how to create the dish and the succulent flowers to go on it.

If you like the Succulent Framelits, you'll love the Vertical Garden Project Kit! It's retiring too, so make sure to get it before it's gone on May 31, 2017!

Mixing Old with New: Love & Affection with Lovely Words Thinlits

A couple weeks ago...actually, probably closer to a month now...I was enjoying some stamp therapy and decided to make some cards for the Global Design Challenge. I didn't get a chance to post the cards before the deadline, but here they are! The challenge was to use any combination of the retiring In Colors: Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, and Delightful Dijon. 

 

I pulled out the retiring Affectionately Yours designer paper as my inspiration and picked my colors from the paper. At the time, my pre-order was sitting unopened, so I broke out the Lovely Words framelits to create the peekaboo on this "friends" card. It only cuts the words and creates a window in the cardstock. So cool! Here is the inside corner that peeks through the front.

 Here is the second card. I have used a similar layout before. It's a good "go-to" design! The Affectionately Yours Designer Paper is already sold out, but the stamp set is still available! Be sure to get your last retiring order in before May 31 because the new catalog is right around the corner!

High Tide Color Block Card

"Let hope be your lighthouse, beckoning you through stormy seas." I love the sentiment on today's High Tide card. Buying and selling a house is probably the most stressful thing I've ever had to do. I'm navigating this stormy sea with hope and faith that the end result will be worth the rough water on our journey there.

You'll love all of the unique sentiments in the High Tide stamp set. Here is the second design in my May Stamp of the Month Club card kit. I am sending out invoices today, so if you would like to participate this month, send me an email!

 

There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.
Each month, I feature a different stamp set. Those who participate in May will receive the High Tide Photopolymer stamp set (or substitute a different set), pre-cut materials to make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs), printed instructions with a color photo of each card, and Priority Mail shipping.
