Topiary Repost using Cherish the Day Stamp Set
This is a topiary that I created and posted this past summer. It was
one of the projects I made for the class I taught at the Close to my Heart Convention. I wanted to share it again because I have had a few requests to see more 3-D flower projects plus, it uses a little hidden treasure from the November Stamp of the Month, Cherish the Day. (Did you notice the “Cherish the Day” sentiment in the stamp set?)

I used one of the awesome
3-D flower images on the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. (I will NEVER get tired of this cartridge!) I cut a bunch
of flowers out at 3-1/2″ and some at 4-1/2″. Some of them were cut from
Honey cardstock and some were cut from White Daisy cardstock. I inked
the White Daisy flowers with Honey ink on the edges with a sponge dauber
before I rolled them. Then I rolled each one starting from the outside
going in and held them together them with some Aleen’s Tacky Glue. Each
flower was attached to a styrofoam ball with a pearl tipped pin.
I
wrapped a wooden dowel with some floral tape and added it to the bottom
of the ball. I put some more styrofoam in the bottom of the metal white
container and stuck the wrapped dowel inside. A little Colonial White
and Honey ribbon was added to the base of the ball to dress it up a bit.

CTMH has lots of fun new Mini-Medley Assortment packs. I
used the metal plate in the Honey Mini-Medley Collection on the
container. It was soft enough to bend so that it would fit nicely around
the curve of the container. I stamped a sentiment from the November
Stamp of the Month, Cherish the Day, and attached it behind the metal plate. Then I
attached the plate with some Velcro so that the sentiment could be
changed for different occasions.
