A Prickly Duo of Cards by Maria Russell

Prickly Cactus Themed Cards!

Today we are sharing a duo of cards by Maria featuring our two cactus themed sets: Cuppa Cactus Stamp Set and Cultivated Cacti Stamp Set. Both sets are so fun and perfect for creating cute summer cards!

For her first card, shown above, she use the images of cacti in coffee mugs from the Cuppa Cactus Stamp Set. This set is easy to pair with any color theme by coloring the mugs different colors. She colored the images with alcohol markers and cut them out using our coordinating Cuppa Cactus Die Set. Then she layered them over a trio of circles that were cut out using our new Circle Frames Die Set. Doesn't this look so fun with the polka dot papers!?

Here is a close up so you can see all the amazing details, including little added white gel pen dots:

For her second card, she created a one layer card using our Cultivated Cacti Stamp Set:

She stamped the flower pots from the set in two rows and added the various cacti onto the pots using bright shades of yellow/orange and green! A few little pink flowers accent it perfectly. She filled the center of the card with fun sentiments.

Making one layer cards is a fun and quick way to create some simple cards to have on hand and this card by Maria is a perfect example!
