Kre8tors April 2020 Hop

4/12/2020

Welcome to the Kre8tors April 2020 Hop in which we are participating in a 'Spring' themed hop.

Spring to me is soft colours and flowers and getting the pots in the garden planted up and looking pretty.
And this Spring, Stampin' Up! have given us a sneak peek at upcoming new 2020-21catalog product - the Ornate Garden Suite. Mine just arrived a couple of days ago so I thought I would break it out and make a card. This suite is quite - well, ornate! It's not my style typically as you know I prefer clean lines and simple :) But - the great thing with crafting is that you can do what YOU want with products right?

Here is the front of the card I made. I cut some of the flowers from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Paper, used the Ornate Borders Dies across the middle of the card, the Ornate garden Ribbon and the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. I added a few Gilded Gems to the centre of the flowers.

On the inside of the card I created a little pop up 'pot' using the bag from the All Dressed Up dies. I cut more flowers from the Ornate Designer Paper and layered those in. When the card closes the whole 'pot' goes flat for mailing.
