Shout it from the Rooftops Succulent Framelits are Back on the Clearance Rack!!

Woohoo! I am thrilled beyond words that the Succulent Framelits are back on the Clearance Rack! I was and still am devastated that the Oh, So Succulent stamp set and framelits retired.

I love them, my mom loves them, and so do my customers. Even if you are not a succulent fan, these framelit dies might just convert you! Plus, no green thumb is required to "grow" these succulents!

I still use the Succulent Framelits for my personal projects. In fact, I have two sets of Succulent Framelits to make the cutting go even quicker.

The Succulent Framelits are great because you can use them independently of the stamp set, you can practice color coordinating, build on your sponging techniques, and create gorgeous home decor projects, cards, gift bag embellishments, gift tags, and more!

My mom and I spent many an afternoon just playing with different size and layering combinations. There are a myriad number of ways to put the petal layers together - big, small, medium, center the petals on top of each other, offset the petal from each other, etc.

We also tried various ways of sponging each petal layer. We tried sponging the entire petal, the middle portion, just the petal tips, and even layering multiple inks on top of each other.
 

We folded some petals upwards and some downwards for even more effects. The results were just stunning!

We sponged the same ink combinations on multiple colors of cardstock to see how each ink and cardstock reacted. 

For Christmas, my mom and I used some of our succulent creations to design a wreath for my sister-in-law.

We both had many succulents left, so we made a few more home decor projects! Here is an old-fashioned match holder tin filled with a sweet succulent arrangement.

Here are two succulent arrangements in small wooden planter boxes.

Here are two more succulents in glass containers filled with pebbles and soil.

As you can see, we are pretty enamored by the Succulent Framelits! I hope you will be too! Pick up a set or two of the Succulent Framelits on the Clearance Rack before they are sold out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Give Thanks Daisy Centerpiece

Fall is my favorite season, for sure. I love banners, candle holders, ceramic pumpkins, wreaths, and more. So, when I find a cute fall home decor piece, you know I can't resist!

I filled this divided wooden box, found at a local craft store, with an autumnal daisy floral arrangement featuring the Daisy Delight Bundle.

Into each of the 6 compartments I placed a floral foam block and 12 daisies - 2 each in 5 colors: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, Tangerine Tango, and Very Vanilla. All but the Very Vanilla daisies are stamped with the same color ink as the cardstock to create a tone on tone look to add a subtle textured-look.

I used a variety of embellishments in the centers of the daisies - the daisy center stamp, sponge daubers, and gold faceted gems to decorate the centers of the daisies.

• Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry Daisies - Crumb Cake cardstock stamped with Chocolate Chip ink for centers
• Very Vanilla Daisies - Crumb Cake ink sponged in the center
• Tangerine Tango Daisies - Tangerine Tango cardstock stamped with Tangerine Tango ink topped with a gold faceted gem
• Elegant Eggplant Daisy - gold heat embossed center. I didn't use the embossing buddy here because I wanted extra little splashes of gold embossing powder for an added shine.

To maximum each sheet of cardstock, I tried to fit as many stamped daisies as I could on each sheet of cardstock. One 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock can fit 12 stamped daisies. I first stamped the top row. Then I stamped the bottom row. Lastly, I stamped the center row.

All of the daisies were put together and attached to floral wire the same way the Halloween wiggle eye floral bouquet was.

Have you created an arrangement with the Daisy Delight Bundle? What color palette did you choose? I would love to see what you make!
