Card Instructions:
- Stamp the large succulent image in Memento on one of the white layers coming in from the top and bottom on opposite corners.
- Punch the other corners with the Detailed Trio Punch, both rounding and adding the cutout detail.
- Color the images with Stampin’ Blends. I found it easiest to color each succulent grouping with just the light and dark of one color and only add colored tips to a few.
- Adhere this layer to the front of the folded card base.
- Stamp sentiment in Versamark ink on black scrap, pour white embossing powder over, tap off and heat. Die cut with label die from Potted Succulents.
- Run Stamp ‘n Seal + in a short line in the center and place a piece of Linen Thread, looping it back and forth.
- Add dimensionals to sentiment label and place over the twine
- Add Genial Gems to the front
- Stamp sentiment in Memento on the inside white layer, add the smallest succulent stamp image and then round and detail punch the opposite two corners. Adhere to the inside.

- With the cardstock in portrait orientation, score at 2-½” and 6-⅜”
- Turn to portrait and score again ½” in from both sides
- Snip off all four corner “rectangles”
- Make angle cuts on all side tabs
- Fold and burnish all score lines
- Fold in the side tabs and fold up the largest of the two rectangles (this is the bottom)
- Glue the bottom piece on top of the side tabs
- Place a piece of Tear ‘n Tape along the top edge of the top flap for future use
- Decorate the front of the envelope with the large succulent stamp in Versamark ink or matching Mint Macaron Ink.
