About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Flower Pot Card

Today I have a flower pot card to share. I have used the Floral Fantasy and Floral Foliage stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs.  


The card base is Kraft - 5" x the length of A4, scored in half (5 7/8").  And another piece for the top of the flower pot - 5" x 2 1/2". 

 

On the base card, mark 1/2" from each edge, at the bottom. Cut from the top (the fold) to these marks to create the shape of the pot.

 

cut decorative paper to fit over both pieces of card, and stamped the foliage onto the paper, so that it would show beneath the flowers. I coloured the foliage with Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Oxides. The flowers were stamped three times onto stamping card, and coloured with Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber and Mustard Seed.

   

After fussy cutting the flowers, I arranged the flowers and added a sentiment from the set.
