Step 1:
Score 9” x 3 ½” piece of cardstock in landscape position at 2” and 5 ½”.
Step 2:
Fold the 2” score line in a mountain fold and the 5 ½” score line in a valley fold.
Step 3:
Punch the edge of the 2” front flap with the Scallop Edge Punch.
Step 4:
To create the flower pot shape, place the cardstock in the paper trimmer with the top 2” flap
flipped up and the bottom flap folded behind.
Line up the 2” score line with the cutting track and the 5 ½” fold line with the ½” mark on the
trimmer. Place the cutting guide over the card and cut.
Flip over cardstock and repeat.
Step 5:
Adhere the 3” x 3 ½” piece of patterned paper to the bottom front of the flower pot. Trim away
the excess patterned paper from each side with a pair of
scissors.
Step 6:
Tie ribbon around the top part of the flower pot to hold the pot together, no adhesive needed.
Attach a tag to the ribbon if desired.
Step 7:
Adhere the 2 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece of cardstock to the 2 ½” x 4 ½” piece of cardstock. This will be the
insert piece with the flowers attached at the top. Stamp your sentiment on the lower portion.
Step 8:
For each flower, use one piece of 3” x 3” patterned paper and one piece of 3” x 3” cardstock .
Apply a small bit of adhesive between the squares before running thru the die cut machine to
keep them together. Run each 3” x 3” piece through the die cut machine to create the flowers.
Punch circles out of scrap patterned paper for flower centers and adhere. For one of the
flowers, adhere circle to the clear button with a glue dot and then attach.
Step 9:
Punch each 2 ½” x 2 ½” piece of cardstock with the 5-Petal Flower Punch and cut apart to
create leaves.
Step 10:
Attach flowers to top of insert piece with dimensional adhesive.
Tips:
To help with alignment, place insert piece inside of flower pot before attaching flowers.
If you want your card to fit in an A2 envelope, line the envelope up underneath the card and use
as a guide while attaching the flowers to make sure they're not too tall or wide.
Step 11:
To attach the leaves, place adhesive on end of each leaf and adhere in between the flower
layers.
Step 12:
Finish your card.
