Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to join Simon Says Stamp for their Moments in Time Blog Hop. I am creating with 2 new products today – the Snake Plant stencil and coordinating die, and the I See You pre-printed sentiment strips.

CARD DETAILS
I started by ink blending the layers using various shades of green – Celery (this can be skipped), Limelicious, Field, and Pine. This was easy to blend and the image came together in no time.
Next, I used the coordinating die and cut the plant out. I also cut another blank layer from scrap cardstock and glued the two layers together to have a sturdier piece. Next, I used thin foam adhesive to foam mount this onto the card.
To create the background, I adhered a panel of Cotton Candy cardstock to the front of an A2 card base and cut another panel from Honey cardstock diagonally, and adhered it to create a color-blocked background.
For the sentiment, I cut the pre-printed strips out, used a black marker to color the edge of the cardstock, and foam mounted that over the plant. Lastly, I embellished the card using black enamel dots.

What a beautiful card! I didn’t think I needed this stencil, but now I think I do!
Stencils sure bring images to life. Fabulous card
Always want more product after watching, your examples.
Great card!! You always have the best color combinations!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
What a neat look. I like the big, bold plant. And the details make it wonderful.
What a great card! I love the background colors! I’m liking this snake plant stencil more and more!
Wonderful card and great colors.
I used to have a plant just like that. Nicely done
Awesome card! I love the snake plant design and your color combo!
Stunning! You have such great style!
You really did a nice job coloring the plant – so nice! The card came together very nicely.
Beautiful card! Love the pink and yellow background…really makes that green snake plant pop!! I had to smile when I saw that snake plant stencil…I used to have one of them for years but we always called it the mother-in-laws tongue.
A little piece of art, yellow echoes the sentiments!
Beautifully crafted card; that snake plant looks so life-like.
Ooooo gorgeous foliage!
Fabulous color choices, Yana. I love this series from SSS.

Your card Your card is so realistic looking, it would be a perfect way to let someone know you were thinking about them, better even than an actual Snake Plant, a plant would require watering and care, your card could sit on display and just be beautiful. Using your card layout, this Snake Plant would make for a wonderful panel to frame, it could also be put with some of Simon’s other recent leaf releases & they together could make for a wonderful framed botanical wall arrangement.
Nice CAS card
These plant set releases are so good. Looks as pretty as the real one in my house.
So fun! Love the snake plant products… Great job on your card
Really Beautiful card!!!
Loving the bold colours! They really make the card pop!

Yana, I think of you often and hope all is as best as can be expected in your beautiful country.
Your card is very striking! I love the simple modern look of the background with this snake plant!
Nice card. Not a favorite plant but you’ve made it look good.

Beautiful card!
Snake plant is not one that immediately comes to mind when envisioning a card, but this is wonderful, and can be used for male or female, and for so many occasions. Thanks for the incentive!
Great card, Yana! And your coloring makes it almost look like a REAL plant!!
You can make my least favorite houseplant look beautiful. What an artist you are!
Yana, your plant looks real. I love your colors.
