Succulents Galore

All day yesterday I had classes making these beautiful succulents. They are really quite relaxing to create.

I used the Succulent Framelit Dies #142992, page 21 in the Occasions Catalog (they are still available at a great price!). Cut one set of the six flower shapes shown below in each of the following colors: Crumb Cake, Sweet Sugarplum, Old Olive, Cucumber Crush and Mint Macaron (the last two colors retiring so grab them fast if you don’t already have them).

To create the large oval shaped cactus cut 4 ovals using the Layering Oval Dies. Emboss them with the Softly Falling embossing folder. Fold them in half lengthwise and glue them together to form the shape. Put a piece of wire up the center and glue the Rose Red flower on the top.

I used Layering Love to stamp the greeting on 3 x 3 Very Vanilla and cut with the largest square in the Stitched Shaped Dies. Then attached that to a 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 Soft Suede. Put a coffee stir stick in between the two layers.

To put it all together just put a piece of floral foam in the bowl and glued Reindeer Moss on top using a hot glue gun. Insert your succulents and you are set to go. This would make a beautiful gift to a special person.
