Miss Monday- Flower Pot Cards

 

Miss Monday cards with the Pierced Blooms Dies! I made 10 of these flower pots for a card swap I do with friends where the theme was Birthday and to use at least 2 of the colors that were picked. The colors this month were Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Old Olive, Misty Moonlight, and Calypso Coral. I choose this design so I could use all the colors. I made a video on how to make this card for Fun Fold Friday and just added a couple of new products to this design. (Video link below)

This card will fit into a  A2 size envelope. 

I used the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder to create the texture on the pot.

The Pierced Blooms Dies are perfect for this card design. I used the large leaves and the large flower for this flower pot.

You just pull up on the the flowers and below is a spot for you to write your Birthday message. I used the Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon to hold the pot together. No adhesive is needed.

The back of the flower pot will look like this and the ribbon wraps around it. 

You can make this card too when you shop at my online store and follow my steps below.
