Day 7 – Secret Garden Flower Pot set of cards

January 19, 2013 By Connie | 62 Comments

Woohoo!  It is FINALLY my turn to show off my project for Create with Connie and Mary PREVIEW WEEK.  It's the LAST DAY to sign up with the Early Bird Savings…so, don't delay!  Sign up today and save $5 off the regular $34.95 US price…at only $29.95 US, that's less than $1 each for over 30 step-by-step tutorials you won't find ANYWHERE else!  Nope…not even a sneak peek!  They are EXCLUSIVE to subscribers!

So…what did I do?  I wanted to use the Pop n' Cut Dress Form and Card Base in a little different way, so I made a wrought iron stand to hold my pot of Secret Garden posies!!!  Didn't it turn out cute?  Here are two of them.  You can see the other two in my tutorial over on Create with Connie and Mary!

 

 

And, I wanted to wrap up the set of 4 cards in a pretty package to give as a gift.  So, I wrapped the set with the wonderful Two Tone Ribbon and tied on a matching flower pot tag!  Isn't this a sweet little gift to give someone?  Check out the FREE TUTORIAL over on Create with Connie and Mary today!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
