I am not a good gardener. My sister seems to have gotten all of the gardening genes in the family. I had no intention of buying the new Garden Party kit, but when I saw it, all I could think of was that my sister would love cards made with it. She's not a card maker, but she loves getting hand made cards from me. Here is what I hope will be the first of many for her.
Queen & Co. just released a new set called Lucky Day kit, and it's perfect with their Fish Bowl Shaped Card kit for a pot of gold. I used a small circle die from one of the Foundations die sets to cut gold coins from shiny gold card stock, as well as for the buckle on the Leprechaun hat.
I bought the Queen & Co. Teapot card/die set awhile back, thinking I'd use it for a banner. My daughter has a cozy tea nook, and she loves Alice in Wonderland. I made this card for her, although I think it will have to be given to her in person rather than mailed. The card is more than 1/4 inch thick, which means it would need to be sent as a package.
I don't always decorate the inside, but it needed a little teabag for the sentiment.
All dies used were from Queen & Co., except for the tiny heart, which was a leftover from the Lori Whitlock mailbox box card project (posted a couple of weeks ago). I shaped the flowers with flower shaping tools. I prefer the Heartfelt Creations handmade flowers that I usually do, but this was an experiment to see whether I could make similar flowers with the Queen & Co. Foundation die flowers. I think I'll stick to my Heartfelt Creations stamped flowers in the future.
The paper is from K&Company. It was from my stash, a Tuesday Morning find from long ago.
