When we moved to Arizona from Nebraska more than fifteen months ago, we wanted to include cactus in our backyard. The landscaper refused. He said it was cliche, and he encouraged us to plant lantanas instead. (I really think he didn’t want to deal with the prickles!)
A month or so later, my husband discovers a teeny, tiny cactus growing in the front yard. After nearly being destroyed by the same landscapers, my hubby dug it up and planted it in this pot. He’s dutifully watered and tended it. Not that a cactus needs much water. But what do we know?
We have no idea what kind of cactus this may be. We can’t wait until it grows a little bigger.
In the meantime, I’m excited Stampin’ Up! is offering the Flowering Cactus Product Medley ($70) in its upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. This catalog goes live at 3 a.m. Mountain Time January 5. (I’m working to get catalogs in the mail and/or delivered. If you’re not currently working with a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, please contact me. I’ll send catalogs to you).
Come back to my blog January 5 for a link to the catalog PDF.
As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I have the opportunity to preorder goodies from the new catalogs. I’ve bee playing with this one medley a lot.
Below, I’ve included five Flowering Cactus card samples and a YouTube video that describes the medley’s contents and shows ideas for using it. (Check my YouTube channel for other fun product and technique videos. I’d love if you would subscribe!)

Welcome to the Stampin’ Friends September 2020 Blog Hop! I’m featuring a Halloween card and a project using Stampin’ Up!’s Little Treats.
Thanks for joining us. This month, the participating stampers focus on Halloween, fall, and outdoor greeting cards and projects. Visit all of the blogs and leave a comment. Look for a list of participating stampers after the information about the card and project.
I love this set’s versatility. It contains sentiments and images for Halloween, fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, general treat giving, and even weddings/engagements/anniversaries.
The Little Treats Box Dies uses a 6 x 6 sheets of card stock. Run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine just once. It comes out in one piece, all ready to put together.
In addition to the Little Treats stamp set and dies, I used the following products:
A fun combination of Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie.
The sparkly Black Glimmer Paper and Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder.
Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles Dies.
Pearl colored with Black Stampin’ Blends.
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know if you have questions about these projects or any other stamping question.
Remember, visit all of the blogs to get a host of great papercrafting ideas.
