Good Morning everyone, i hope you all had a good weekend.
I bought this plant pot die set for my mums birthday card and after making it i wondered how it would look with poinsettias so this is the outcome. The pot die folds to make a little pocket and then has a tag that fits inside with flowers on the top - i added a hidden surprise inside my pots too for some fun. I shall show the version i made for mums birthday in January.
5x6" white cardblank. I used patterned papers all from the same pad, i matted a bluey tone and striped paper onto gold mirror card and then the base card. From the pot die set i cut the pot from gold tone paper and then the tag that goes inside from green paper. I die cut poinsettias from a red tone paper and arranged on the top of the tag, making sure the tag would slide in and out freely - to help this i added foam pads to the sides of the pot pocket.
I then arranged more poinsettias around the pot and some die cut foliage. I added glitter glue and gold gems to the centres.
and below is the surprise...... whats hiding in the pot?
Oh look at where that cheeky kitty has been hiding😁
Showing the tag completely removed. You could also add a secret greeting to the back.
A close up on naughty kitty - my cats love helping (hindering) me while crafting so this idea came to me as my mums cat loves helping her garden😁 . Using tim holtz mini crazy cat stamp and watercoloured with distress oxide inks. Glossy accents added to her eyes. Coloured in tones to match the recipients cat.
Items Used:
Honey bee die - flower pot
Tim Holtz crazy cat mini stamps
flower & foliage dies
MFT curved border/edger die
Basicgrey paper pad 'evergreen'
Oxide inks - cat - candied apple, spiced marmelade, lemonade, black soot
Stickles - diamond
This is my last upload before Christmas so i would like to wish you all
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR

Grumpy penguins
Farm animals too,
When I view your blog
I never feel blue!
Birds that are crazy
With feathers so bright,
Snowmen in domes
Fill me with delight.
On giant cupcakes
I feast my eyes,
Three wise camels
Were Christmas surprise!
Your explanations
Teach me so much,
I really admire
Your artistic touch.
As Christmas approaches
Just let me say
Thank you, Emma
