Succulent Garden

 

Stampin' Up!  puts together some beautiful suites to make it easy for you to design cards, scrapbook pages and home decor.  The Oh So Succulent Garden Suite is one of my favorite.  You can create die-cut succulents, flowers, and accents in seconds with Succulent Framelits Dies and the Big Shot.  With a mix of open images and detailed images, this 17-piece set can cut detailed die-cuts or frame stamped images. Detailed die includes ejection holes so you can remove the paper easily.

I had fun getting together with some members of my team and we spent a morning playing with the dies.  Above are some projects I made using card stock and the Succulent Framelits Dies.
