Paper Succulents made from Stampin' Up! Punches and Dies

Image
Succulents are the latest trend in Home Decor ; you can spot them in just about every gift shop - real ones, plastic or felt replicas, pictures, stationery items etc. ... so it made perfect sense to create some paper ones with Stampin' Up! supplies. After a bit of a search on Pinterest , I came across a great tutorial by Allison Okamitsu . I decided to CASE all her gorgeous samples and only changed the colour for one of them.  Wow! I am totally hooked on paper succulents. Thanks for the creative inspiration, Allison.  I even added a little one of my 'own' to the bowl and can see myself making a few more in the not too distant future.  The grey bowl and rocks were purchased from Spotlight (Australia). Make sure you check out Allison's tutorial for inspiration.  I have included the 'recipe' below for easy reference - 1.  Flower Fair Framelits Die, Mossy Meadow Card Stock and Ink, Gorgeous Grunge Stamp - Cut 5 2.  Fun Flower Punch, Pear P...

South Pacific Convention on the Gold Coast and thought I would share with you the Swaps that I made.  Helen and Nikki S will need to 'look away' as I haven't mailed theirs yet :)  1.

Hi there and welcome to add INK tive designs.   I'm first on the hop for our Friday night CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrators who love to use the SU Catalogues for inspiration. This week we are looking at the Mother's Day  section in the Occasions Catalogue - pages 36 and 37. When this post goes live, eight of the CTC Crew will be catching up at an after party on the Gold Coast , at the last Stampin' Up! ®  South Pacific Convention as we know it.  I'm sure I will have some pics to share in another post, so stay tuned. A Planter Box Card for Mum I really, really love my mum because this card took a whole morning to make.  I combined the instructions from two demonstrators, Linda Bauwin and Rebecca Hopper , on Stampin' Connection ,   to make my Planter Box Card. Here's what inspired me on pages 36 and 37 of the Occasions Catty - The Colour Palette from the Pain...
