Today I am sharing the cards I designed for my May classes using the gorgeous Help Me Grow stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Overlay Fun Fold Card

Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛”
Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 3” – embossed using Lovely Stripes Folder
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 5¾” by ⅞”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2
Scrap Basic White, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Gray Granite & Silver Foil

 

The three pieces of Lovely Blossoms dsp were glued to the Thick Basic White card base. The long thin one along the top flap and the two shorter, squatter ones on either side.

 

We glued the embossed piece to the 4⅛ by 3⅛” piece of Thick Basic White card with a small border around both sides and the bottom. It won’t reach the top of the panel, and this is intentional.

 

On scrap Basic White card, we stamped the tiny cluster of flowers with Pool Party ink and added the leaves around the image with Old Olive ink and die cut the piece out. From the piece of Silver Foil, we die cut the trowel and adhered it to the handle. The tool was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

 

The clusters of leaves were die cut from scrap old Olive card and the cluster of flowers from Calypso Coral card (we didn’t use the whole piece). These were added along the bottom of the layer.

 

Using the Help Me Grow dies we die cut the larger label from scrap Gray Granite card. The sentiment was stamped on the smaller white die cut label with Gray Granite ink and adhered the two pieces together. The label was then slipped in among the leaves and flowers.

 

Decorated Flowerpot Card

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Calypso Coral – 4⅝” by 3⅛”
Basic White – 4½” by 3”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Pool Party – 2” by ¼”
Scrap Basic White, Calypso Coral, Old Olive & Gray Granite

 

We stamped the large plant pot in 2^nd generation Gray Granite ink, randomly around the edge of the Gray Granite card front.

 

Using a Blending Brush, we added Pool Party ink to the 4½” by 3” piece of Basic White card and added some ‘dottage’ to the lower right corner with the same ink. The inked piece was then glued to the Calypso Coral panel and then to the Gray Granite card front.

 

The flowerpot and saucer were die cut from scrap Gray Granite card. Using the Gray Granite ink, we stamped the cluster of flowers across the pot and added the same ink to the saucer and the right side of the pot with a Blending Brush. The pot and saucer were mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

 

The leafy sprig was die cut from scrap Old Olive card and the clusters of from scrap Calypso Coral card, a small group of flowers were cut off and set aside to use later. These were then added to the card front, the leaves with Dimensionals and the flowers with liquid adhesive. The flowers which had been set aside were then tucked under the left side of the pot.

 

The sentiment, from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set was stamped in Gray Granite ink on the strip of Pool Party card. It was added to the card on Dimensionals.

 

Gardening Fork Card

Thick Basic White – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Calypso Coral – 5¼” by 3½”
Pool Party – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Gray Granite – die cut Stitched Circle
Basic White – die cut Spotlight on Nature Circle
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White, Calypso Coral, Old Olive & Silver Foil

 

The large flowerpot was randomly stamped all over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card with 2^nd generation Pool Party ink.

 

The stamped panel was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Calypso Coral layer. We wrapped a length of Old Olive Twine (retired) around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

 

The sentiment was stamped on the die cut white circle with Old Olive ink. This circle was then glued to the Gray Granite circle. This was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

 

On scrap Basic White card, we stamped the tiny cluster of flowers with Calypso Coral ink and added the leaves around the image with Old Olive ink and die cut the piece out. From the piece of Silver Foil, we die cut the fork and adhered it to the handle. The tool was then added to the die cut circle.

 

The leaves and flowers, die cut from Old Olive and Calypso Coral card were then added. A twine bow completed the card.
