Flower Pot Stand Card

Buying this Elizabeth Craft Flower Pot Stand Die Set was a big splurge.  I thought it would be a quick card...NOT!  Now that I have made "one", I'm sure the next one will go more smoothly.  (Karen's video made it look so easy...haha)

It's the first day of Fall, so mums and pansies popped into my head.  This is my attempt at a pansy facsimile.  I left the flowers flat knowing it would be mailed.  I made a boo boo in cutting the base, so as not to waste the cardstock, I placed 2 pansies on the base behind the flower pot.  Do you think I got away with the boo boo?

Hummm...wonder if there are any challenges out there to join?

A7, left off the center dot...oops...added after pic

Ready for the unvailing?  Opening....

Ta Da...I also added a dragonfly along with the two butterflies
Liquid Pearls were added to flower centers and butterfly bodies, along with wire for butterfly antennas 

Flowers on base covering my two boo boos.  The die requires the flower pot to be closer to the front of the card...not the center, so if nothing else, I think the 2 pansies balanced out the base.

Tea Time

Love teapots and tea.  Yup, and being from the South, I love ice cold SWEET TEA.  I used a  teapot/cup set die from Impression Obsession.  I used Elizabeth Crafts Lots Of Pops die for the base.  Making one saves money, but doing a quick die saves time. ( I cased the "inside" from someone on Pinterest.)

The pic I took of the card's front was so bad, I have opted not to show, but it has stacked teacups with embellishments.  I changed the paper and sentiments on the other 3 cards I made.  I also added a teabag on the front of 2 since I was able to make a large pocket.

Have a chairful day!

I love little puns. The sentiment is from an old Stampin' Up set. The 3D chair idea is from Sizzix and the window die is from Memory Box, along with the tree branch and birds.

Once I decided what to make, the rest was very simple and quick. I made my chair on my Silhouette Cameo so I could size it.

PS  Thank you all for the info on my scrapbook page.  EVERYONE voted for the 3rd pic...which is the one I originally started out with but then started adding stuff to it.  Guess I should had stopped with the original plan...go with your gut instincts.  Sometimes you just need to leave a project and come back to it later.

Inside...oops...left off the little pillow I made
