We made this cute crate of succulents at a recent Team meeting.
Isn't it gorgeous? I just love these dies! And they're so easy to make too. The crate is made from Crumb Cake card stock; stamping the Hardwood background using Tip Top Taupe ink.
Measurements for the crate:
- Base - 8" X 2 3/4", scored 2 1/4" from each end
- Sides - (you need 4), 1" X 4", scored 1/4" from each end
I loved making them so much I purchased a white wooden basket from my hobby store and made this one:
The Card Stock & the ink I sponged with are as follows:
- Mint Macaron - sponged with Rich Razzleberry
- Sweet Sugarplum - Rich Razzleberry
- Crumb Cake - Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler
- Pool Party - Bermuda Bay and Old Olive
- Rich Razzleberry - Whisper White
- Pear Pizzazz - Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry or Cherry Cobbler
I made a video on how to make the flowers and the crate as well as assembling the flowers on wire. I hope you enjoy it!
You've inspired me to make these beautiful arrangements!

What a beautiful project! I was at a Craft Fair in Lynden WA yesterday and every where I looked succulents in various containers abounded! So on trend right now. Love your work, LeeAnn!

These are so beautiful! I was not interested in getting that bundle, but your projects are the most inspiring I have seen! I also thought the first basket was heart shaped. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Absolutely beautiful! Love, love, love the colors, especially in the larger crate! When I saw the photo for the smaller one, at first I thought it was a heart-shaped crate! 😀

Beautiful baskets LeeAnn. You've made my mind up over getting the So Succulent bundle. I've been unsure about getting it but it is now firmly on my to get list after seeing what you have done. You have inspired me to create with these dies and you've filled my head with many possibilities. Thank you so much. Take care.
