Taylored Expressions – Cactus Die-Cuts

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, Southwest-themed, apology card combining a variety of Taylored Expressions supplies.

Here’s how I created the card: I cut Sugar Cube cardstock with the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and applied Dreamweaver Embossing Paste through the Chevron Arrow Stencil. I set the panel with wet embossing paste aside to dry. I cut the cactus and their containers with dies in the Sitting Pretty Accessories set from Sugar Cube cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I like the look that coloring with Copic markers gives to die-cuts, especially for the variation it provides. I assembled the plants and containers.

I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from the Lookin’ Sharp Stamp & Die Combo set on Poppy Seed cardstock with TE Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. Once the stenciled panel was dry, I added the sentiment and cacti to the panel with foam adhesive. The card base was created from Toffee cardstock.
