Here is an adorable card made using the Help Me Grow stamp set and dies along with the Nested Essentials dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the garden secateurs card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Old Olive – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Old Olive – 4¼” by 2¼”
Basic White – 3¾” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White

I stamped the pot all over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using 2^nd generation (stamped off once) Gray Granite ink.

The stamped panel was then adhered to the Old Olive layer. I wrapped a length of Old Olive Baker’s Twine, sadly retired, around the panel secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

From the smallest piece of Basic White card I die cut a label using the Nested Essentials dies. The sentiment was stamped onto the label with Old Olive ink. I die cut a slightly larger label from the piece of Old Olive card and glued the two labels together. The label was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The blades of the secateurs were stamped on scrap Basic White card with Gray Granite ink and die cut using the Help Me Grow dies.

The floral image was stamped, twice with Calypso Coral ink onto scrap Basic White card. I added the leaves with Old Olive ink and die cut the pair of handles. These were adhered to the secateurs blades with Mini Glue Dots. These were then glued to the card front. A trio of retired Calypso Coral Dots from my stash completed the card.
