Welcome to week 8 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! We are showcasing Cajun Craze, from the regals colection.
Cajun Craze is not a colour I reach for very often but the stunning In Bloom Suite and Welcoming Window bundle made it super easy to create with this colour. I had so much fun creating this slimline card (10 x 20 cm) – I chose the slimline format to I could fit as many plants as possible onto the brick wall DSP layer!
This brick wall DSP and most of the plants in this card have either been die cut of fussy cut from the beautiful Bloom Where you are Planted DSP. I’m going to buy another pack of this DSP this month while it is 15% off.
Many of the plants and pots in this DSP can be cut out using the Perfect Plants Dies from the Plentiful Plants Bundle or they can be easily fussy cut using paper snips. Top tip – turn your paper rather than your snips for easier and neater fussy cutting.
This big pot plant (bottom left) was fussy cut and I used my fingers and bone folder to curl up the leaves. The other plants on this bottom row are stamped and die cut.
This photo on an angle shows you better how much dimension this card has. It is so easy to get this dimension by curling the leaves with your finger and bone folder and using dimensionals to attach them to the card. It really makes these plants look so life like!
The middle row has more fussy cutting, stamping and die cutting – I’ve mixed and matched pots and plants between the Plentiful Plants Bundle and the Welcoming Window bundle.
The top row features the adorable macrame pot holder – I love this die! The middle plant is fussy cut from the DSP twice and layered and leaves curled to really make it pop. There was just enough room to add the “thank you” sentiment from the Plentiful Plants Stamp Set.
Can you see all the incredible dimension on the photo below? The card base and the “wooden” shelves are Cajun Craze – this colour goes so well with Cinnamon Cider (the colour of the brick wall DSP) and all the other colours in the stunning DSP.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, Ros Davidson. I can’t wait to see what she’s made this week!

Catherine Proctor – you are here!
This is a really cool card and making it a slimline card was a great decision.
Wow! Love this slimline card Cathy. Great 3D effect with the dimensions and curled leaves.
Thank you Kylie!
Oh wow Cathy, so much fussy cutting. You’ve done well. Such a lovely card.
This is a Wow card I love all those plants hanging (I wish I could get plants to grow like that at home) and like most of us it’s not a colour we used very much but have done it justice.
Wow Catherine, I absolutely love your slimline card! The plants are so lifelike and the design is perfectly balanced. The little Cajun Craze shelves just ‘pop’! This is one of the best slimline cards I’ve ever seen.
Oh wow, I adore this one, Cathy, so much dimension and so much to take in. It is fabulous against that brick wall and the slimline style is just perfect! Gorgeous use of products for Cajun Craze.
Ooohh your card makes me want to run off to the plant nursery! Great balance and use of Cajun Craze.
Oh Cathy, what a gorgeous card. I so love the dimension you created with the shelves and the curled leaves. Your arrangement of pot plants both fussy cut, stamped and die cuts are just right. You have incorporated Cajun Craze brilliantly in shelves, pots and card base. Love it. Xxx
Wow, your card is awesome! You’ve balanced all of the plants perfectly on your gorgeous card.
Wow, you went to town with these awesome dies and papers, Cathy! Aren’t they gorgeous? Love what you made with them, and how you incorporated Cajun Craze so effortlessly in your design.
Lovely card Cathy, very realistic looking
What a wonderful selection of plants from the DSP to create an envious plant display Cathy and paired nicely with the Cajun Craze wooden shelves.
