Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Creating the Garden

For last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project, I chose creating the garden for the theme.

This project uses a number of new die sets from the Annual Catalogue.

A Soft Sea Foam base card and layer are a great background for the other colours. Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather, plus two In Colors.

The large cut out from Many Medallions Dies in Cinnamon Cider creates a pretty trellis. You’ll definitely need your Die Brush attachment to pop out all those little pieces. You can cut the ‘trellis’ down to whatever size you like. Mine is 6 by 4 squares.

The plant is of course from the fabulous Forever Flourishing Dies. This is in Just Jade.

Do you ever look at a punch or die and immediately have a project in mind? I did just that with the Tasteful Labels Dies. The shape looks like a plant pot, so this project was the result.

I can’t believe I haven’t used the Hippo & Friends Dies before now. I am HIPPOFROG Designs after all! These dies give us the lovely decoration on the pot, stuck on with Adhesive Sheets to make it easier to stick down. Hippo & Friends Dies also give us the flowers, plus it is great there are three in the set, so this cuts down cutting out time.

Using Glue Dots, the flowers are stuck onto the plant.

Finally, small Pearls create the centre of the flowers.
