Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I live in the southwest so I love any stamp set that includes cactus!  I was so excited when I saw the new Flowering Cactus Product Medley by Stampin Up®  Not only does it have the stamp set but it includes matching dies, Designer Series Paper, linen thread and die cut felt sheets.  Just add some ink and you are ready to create some fun and beautiful cards!

One of the neat things about this Product Medley is that the Dies actually fit one of the Designer Series Paper.  That is what I used for this card.  It makes putting the card together really fast and easy.  I did cut out several images ahead of time so that when I was ready all I had to do was build my little cactus garden.

Below is video link for this card and one other that I did with this Medley.  You will also find step by step instructions below!
