Pop It Ups/Sizzix Flower Pot & Tattered Floral Card

I made a load of paper flowers yesterday, with a flower pot card in mind, using Karen Burniston's Lucy Label Pop it Ups die set for the pop-up mechanism. I ended up making way too many flowers, so made three different cards instead.

I made the flowers using Tim Holtz's Sizzix Tattered Florals Decorative Strip, and papers from Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane 6x6 pad.

I edged each of the flowers with black Distress Ink, and used a ball tool to mould the flowers into a foam pad. For the flower centres, I used either a stamen punch with black Nuvo Crystal Drops, Bubblegum Blush Crystal Drops, or white Crystal Drops coated with Lemon Chiffon Mini Prills by US Artquest.

The three cards I made today... (I'll blog the other two cards later.)

For the plant pot, I used Eileen Hull's Sizzix 3-D Clay Pot. I used an old Sizzix Originals die for the mini tag, along with two heart punches.

I used a Tim Holtz's Handwritten Sentiments stamp.

We have a large vegetable garden in our backyard, complete with herbs, so, it never occurred to me to also have some on the porch.  My hubby came home the other day with a crate that he found beside the road that I just loved.  I had it sitting on the porch for a few days waiting until I decided what to do with it when I realized how much I loved it on the porch.  And an idea was born; fill it with unique herbs that I don'...
