Good day, Sunshine!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a project to share for my design team post.  I'm showcasing a couple of dies from the fabulous new Gardening release.

I cut out all of my pieces from the Puppy in Garden Cart and the Planter Box & Seeds die sets.  The oval is from the Stitched Oval Set.

I selected a whimsical floral pattern for my card panel and drew out the different colors for my die cuts.  A small strip of paper was punched with the Fiskars Scalloped Sentiment punch.

I created my card base by layering the pieces together and adding a stamped sentiment to the punched border.  The garden cart was centered inside the oval and adhered on my card.

Next, I tucked in the greenery along the punched border.  The seed packets and garden sign were nestled in between the greenery.

The fussy cut flag was adhered along the top edge of my card adding an extra pop of color to the gardening scene!

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

New Release - Bloom Where You are Planted!

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a clean and simple card featuring dies from the beautiful new Gardening release.  All the dies are wonderful, but I fell in love with the Puppy in Garden Cart die as soon as I saw it! This little guy poking through the flowers is adorable.

To begin the card I picked a floral patterned paper so I could match some colors to use on my card.  I cut a white panel 4.25 x 5.5 inches and a strip of the floral paper .5 x 6 inches for the right side.  I glued the strip to the panel and snipped off the excess paper.

I then cut my pieces from matching colors of cardstock using the Puppy with Garden Cart die and the watering can from the Gardening Tomte die.

I cut a lot of flowers!  Before assembling the cart and flower pots I used Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo to edge the cart, pots and greenery.

I used Basic Grey ink to edge and shade the dog, then I assembled him.

Next, I cut my sentiment and a few flowers using the Garden Phrases die.  I thought this particular sentiment worked perfectly with this little pup!

I assembled everything flat on the panel.  When I added the watering can I used a foam dot to pop it up from the card.

I added a few matching sequins near the lower pots and a very thin strip of solid pink cardstock next to the floral panel to finish everything off.  I glued the panel to an A2 card base.

These dies are on sale for a very LIMITED time so be sure to stop by the online store!  They are all wonderful!
