Succulent Sympathy

Who doesn't love a pot full of Hens & Chicks?  I love this set, from the January-June 2021 mini catalog, I ordered this set back in December but, what with moving, I just had a chance to play with it.  I watercolored two of the large hens & chicks, then popped it up with dimensionals.  I softened the DSP with a piece of vellum.

Poinsettia Petals

 

This card started life as a CASE of Connie Babbert's.  I loved her composition and the elegant, almost mono-chromatic palette.  The Poinsettia Petals and dies are a bundle that us available out of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  The Very Vanilla background was run through the Big Shot with the Winter Snow embossing folder, then sponged with Frost White All-Purpose Ink for the iridescent lustre.  

The Very Vanilla poinsettia was not stamped, but cut out and scored using the Poinsettia dies and lightly folded using a bone folder.  The holly leaves were likewise not stamped, but cut out of Soft Seafoam Velveteen paper using the Poinsettia dies.  The berries are die cut out of Whisper White and the berry ends have a bit of Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter.

A bit of ribbon and an embossed sentiment complete the look!

Pearls and Garland

 

I love this look!  Maybe it's because it's November and I'm tired of holiday color schemes.  Whatever, I really do like the crispness of the white layer embossed with the Perfect Polk Dots folder with the warmth of the Pear Pizzazz and the Flirty Flamingo.  I stamped out two of the vine and floral garlands and wove them together, with birds from the Quite Curvy set and sequins, to get this look.

The sentiment was made using the Lovely Labels pick a punch, which I love.  You can use three widths of card stock (1/2", 3/4" or 1") to get the perfect look for whatever sentiment you choose.

Quite Curvy!

 

This was partially CASEd from one of the samples for the new Quite Curvy variety bundle.  I added the Gorgeous Grape frame using the Ornate Frames dies, a strip of Gorgeous Grape striped ribbon, a bow and some coordinating dsp.  I loved the "garden" feel of the original, and the Shaded Spruce and Gorgeous Grape color scheme.

In addition to the lovely floral stamps, the Quite Curvy variety bundle also includes a holiday set, Quite Curvy Christmas.  This is truly a bundle for the whole year!

Snow Wonder!

 

This card went through so many iterations, until I finally came on the finished product.  I changed the dsp and changed the central image THREE times!  It's so pathetic, that I've going to give you the two ripped down versions of the hideous central image.  Think of it as a first of November ha-ha!

 Too much of everything, right?  Too much mercury acetate paper.  Too much glitter.  Too many patterns.  AND TOO MUCH PUFF PAINT EVERYWHERE!!  Plus, I think that there are too many images in the Light My Way set. I think that I need to cut it apart in the future to get at the separate elements.

On the snowman image, I used ice Stampin' Glitter instead of Puff Paint.  I think that it gives a cleaner appearance, as the card base is pretty intricate.  I also love last years' Snowman Accents, so I recycled some of those, too.
