Welcome to my blog today! It’s been awhile since I have done a simple stamping card so I thought I’d get one done! Living in the Southwest I have come to appreciate cactus and when I saw this Product Medley by Stampin UP® I of course had to have it! The Cactus images are great!
For this card I used the Flowering Cactus Stamp set which is part of the Flowering Cactus Product Medley. I added in some card stock and ink along with the linen thread that is part of the Product Medley and Poof you have a card! This card is quick and easy to do!
Check out this video I did on the whole Product Medley with instructions for this card!

I am also including the step by step written instructions below:
Cuts and Card Base –
Card Base – Calypso Coral – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer 1 – Mossy Meadow – 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
Layer 2 – Basic White – 4 x 5 1/4
Layer 3 – Basic White – 4 x 5 1/4
Step by Step Instructions
- Layer 1 – Adhere to card front.
- Layer 2 – You will be stampin several of the cactus images as well as the flowers. The cactus images you will be stamping off the page. For the largest cactus (Golden Barrel) I used Mossy Meadow Ink, For the smaller cactus (Indian Fig) I used Pear Pizzaz Ink, for the flowers I used Calypso Coral Ink and Highland Heather Ink. Note: Figure out where you want your sentiment and do not stamp cactus there or better yet you can add your sentiment first then stamp all other images around it! I stamped the sentiment in Black Memento Ink.
- Wrap both of the Linen threads around the top sections of Layer 2 tie a bow, then adhere to the card front.
- Layer 3 – Stamp the (Indian Fig) cactus in the lower right hand corner in Pear Pizzaz Ink, then using a post it note cover the cactus and stamp a small flower in Highland Heather as shown.
- Stamp the sentiment in Black Memento Ink. Then adhere to the inside of the card!
