I
have fallen in love with the succulent garden suit from stampin up and wanted to make a little gift using it. I was intending on using a flower pot but saw a nifty little tool box made using the curvy keep sake die and decided to adapt that instead!! As well as the stampin up supplies you will need some dry oasis, some thin garden wire and some dry moss. I picked these extras up in my local craft store. I really hope you enjoy this project and are able to follow the instructions - this is my first recipe so any feedback would be greatfully received!!
Lots of love

Project Recipe
Using curvy keepsake die cut out 2 shapes from the soft suede cardstock.
Cut off the rounded end leaving the pointy end and the square (ish) bottom bit.
Trim some soft suede card to the following measurements.
5cm x 11 cm
5cm x 13 cm (x2)
2cm x 13 cm
Score the 2 large pieces of card at 1cm on both sides and the bottom as shown in picture. Snip up 1 cm along score line from the bottom of both pieces.
Score the thin piece of card at 1cm on both ends as shown in the picture.
Stamp all the card pieces using the hardwood stamp and early espresso ink pad.
Fold up the flaps and join to make the side of the box.
Stick the 5cm x 11cm piece of card to the square shapes from the curvy keep sake to make the bottom of the box.
Stick the sides to the bottom of the box.
Cut a piece of dry oasis 5cm x 11cm x 2cm and glue into the bottom of the box.
Arrange and glue some dry moss onto the dry oasis. Make sure some hangs down over the front.
Cut out 3 sets of flower shapes as shown in the picture.
Use whisper white ink pad and sponge up flowers for the biggest succulent.
Spong up the remaining 2 flowers using rich razzleberry ink.
Build the succulents by using a blob of glue in the middle of each one and add a pearl.
Using a small strip of matching card attach some wire to each succulent.
Glue the handle in to the slots.
Arrange the succulents by poking the wire into the oasis.
