I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Cactus DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I tied a multiloop bow with the Calypso Coral Linen Thread (from the Product Medley) and adhered it to the bottom of the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front overlapping the artwork. I adhered the matted artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Cactus 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (from the Product Medley), to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Basic Black Mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Whisper White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the stamped and felt flowers to the cactus using Glue Dots. The Product Medley also comes with sheets of adorable stitched felt flowers. I adhered the cactus on the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also cut the tall cactus from the Flowering Cactus Dies from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock. I cut all the images out using my Flowering Cactus Dies (part of the Flowering Cactus Product Medley). I stamped the flower images from the Flowering Cactus stamp set, one in Highland Heather Ink and one in Poppy Parade Ink. I stamped the larger cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the Whisper White panel. On another panel of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the small cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 3 times. I then stamped the 2 cactus from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Photopolymer Stamp Set (that’s only available from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley), in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. Once I had the coverage I wanted I cut the panel using the 3rd largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Last I blended Calypso Coral Ink from the center to the top. I then blended Mango Melody Ink with the Daffodil Delight in the center of the panel. I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and using my Sponge Brayers, I started on the bottom of the panel with Daffodil Delight Ink. I decided to do a birthday celebrate card using the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Product Medley from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. If you’ve hopped over from Karen Finkle’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!!

If you want to keep them alive it's best to use specialist cactus soil instead.Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Ordinary potting compost holds water well, which is a huge bonus for most plants, but not for cacti, as they need very good drainage. The easiest way is by over watering, poor drainage and using the wrong compost. No, if you've ever killed a cactus you are not alone. A cactus plant likes a light, airy and warm spot – but not too hot, around 18☌ is ideal – and can cope well in direct sunlight.įind out why there's a lot more to these striking houseplants than just their prickles! Native to the Americas (a large territory in North and South America with a strong concentration in Mexico) and typically found in areas subject to drought, cacti or cactuses are perfectly adapted to live in the intense heat and environment of the desert, which means they can most definitely survive the warm and dry conditions of a centrally heated home.įor plant lovers, a cactus is perfect for the less green-fingered as you only need to water moderately – in fact, it's actually better to underwater than it is to overwater.Īlthough slow-growing, a cactus plant is fairly self-sustaining as it stores moisture in its roots, leaves and stems, and so largely regulates its own food intake. The name cactus (official name Cactaceae) is derived from the Greek word 'kaktos', which means 'spiky plant'. Seeing as no cactus plant is the same, this houseplant is a unique, decorative way to add interest to your living space, whether it's perched on your windowsill or styled on a shelf. A cactus is a great addition to the home thanks to its striking shape, size and flowers.
