Being a desert dweller, I’m fascinated by cactus. I add all of Stampin’ Up!’s cactus offerings in my collection. That includes the Cactus Cuties Bundle found on page 66 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.

The bundle includes the Cactus Cuties photopolymer stamp set and Cactus Builder Punch. Purchase them as a bundle and save 10 percent.

This card uses patterned paper from the 6 x 6 2 In Color 2021-2023 Designer Series Paper Assortments. These are also available in 2020-2022 In Color Assortments as well as Brights, Regals, Subtles,and Neutrals. I selected Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen, and Soft Succulent.

Stampin’ Up!’s large color palette makes it easy to stamp the cactus in a variety of colors. It offers a lot of green hues: Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Garden Green, Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Mint Macaron, and Just Jade. Imagine all of the possibilities!

Cactus Cuties Sunshine & Rainbows

The clean and simple card above uses a strip of Designer Series Paper from SaleABration’s Sunshine & Rainbows. (You might have a package of this laying around.)

Cactus Cuties Cajun Craze

I chose the color combination of Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze for the card above and used Stampin’ Up!’s note cards. Precut and scored, you receive 20 cards and envelopes for $20. Very easy to use to create a lot of cards in a hurry.

Another with the easy note cards. Love the little glimmer flowers.

Cactus Cuties Thank You

Cactus Cuties Thank You

Since moving to Arizona more than two years ago, I’ve gained a newfound love for everything cactus. In my head, I imagined that deserts and cactus were dry and dull. This is far from true. The majestic saguaros are absolutely amazing. And in the spring, the cactus come alive with blooms of many and various colors. 

When Stampin’ Up! releases a new cactus stamp set, I’m sure to place it in my collection. I love the Cactus Cuties Bundle that includes the Cactus Cuties Stamp Set and Cactus Builder Punch. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent.  Find it on pages 66 and 67 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2022 Mini Catalog

Thanks to Brayce Campagna for giving me the inspiration for the card above.
