The new Garden Pail Bouquet – from July’s Cheerful Countryside release – is the perfect way to celebrate a summer birthday. Hi, Jean here with a design from our latest collection. Beautiful blossoms, fresh greenery and a rustic garden pail filled with colorful blooms are great for any occasion. Add an instant greeting – like in a grocery store bouquet or arrangement!
Cut the buds and blossoms from yellow, light orange and yellow-orange cardstock in the Sunrise Pack. Cut 2 sets of the leaves, stems and sepals from medium and light green cardstock in the Greenery Pack. You’ll have extra diecuts for future projects.
Cut the pail from a dark green 6×6 in the Greenery set. Cut the handle from the silver 6×6 in the Rainbow Reflections pack. Assemble the blossoms and pail.
Create a special birthday sign with a Happy Birthday Foil Greeting Black Circle Tab and a round toothpick. Glue the toothpick to the circle tab and let it set up while you complete the card.
Cut white cardstock with the 2-3/4″ wide Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die. Attach the pail to the rectangle – don’t apply adhesive to the top 1/2″ of the pail so you can tuck pieces under the pail rim. Attach the rectangle and pail to a white A6 card (4-1/2″ x 6-1/4″). Add the diecuts.
Trim the bottom of the toothpick if necessary. Use narrow strips of foam tape behind the circle to attach the greeting. Add 1/4″ dots punched from a yellow Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6×6. Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Thanks for visiting our blog – hope you enjoy our new collection and create special cards for summer greetings!
