Technique Tuesday – Flower Pot Sucker

What do you get when you combine a Dum Dum sucker, Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper and Die Cut Blooms (both from the Occasions Mini Catalog)?

This adorable Flower Pot Sucker!

My friend Terri G shared this with me.  She always has awesome ideas!  I just knew my Hedgehog Stamping Club Members would love it (and they did)!  This was one of the 3 projects we did at my Technique Tuesday – Members Only Class.

Here's a few tips on how to create this fun project:

Fold a 2" x 6" piece of DSP in half

From the folded edge, score 1/2" and 2 1/4"

To create the diagonal slant of the flower pot.  Cut from the 2 1/4" scored line to the folded edge, 1/2" in on either side.

FPS-DO-03

Open up and add a small square of cardstock to bottom of flower pot to give it a little more "weight".  I used the 3/4" square punch.

FPS-DO-04

Fold DSP into flower pot shape. Pierce holes for brads.  Put in one of the brads.

FPS-DO-05 

FPS-DO-06

Put sucker into the flower pot and then secure with 2nd brad.

FPS-DO-07

FPS-DO-09

Wrap a pop-up glue dot around stick and adhere Die Cut Bloom flower.  Add ribbon and you're done!

Enjoy~Dawn

  2. This is the item that totally caught my eye on Splitcoaststampers. I loved it from the first time I saw it. Can’t wait to share how this little flowerpot sucker was the final step to me signing up to be a demonstrator. Can’t wait to join your team!
