Step 1 - Set of 4 cards
Cut 4 Dress Form Pop 'n Cuts from Basic Black cardstock.
Step 2
Cut 4 dress form bases for "wrought iron stands" from Basic
Black.
Note: Marina Mist cardstock is shown here so it showed up
on the black background.
Step 3
Trim the 4 dress form bases, leaving 1/2 across the top of the
base.
Step 4
Adhere the Basic Black bases to the Basic Gray dress forms
with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

Step 5
Cut four card bases from Marina Mist cardstock.
Tip: The Card Base XL Die size is exactly 4 1/4 x 11. I
placed the cardstock exactly in place to cut that size and I
was able to get 2 from each sheet of cardstock. The only
scrap was the curved cut at the top.
Step 6
Carefully fit the Dress Form inside the Marina Mist base and
adhere. Pop out the Dress form.
Set aside.
Step 7
Cut 4 Cajun Craze cardstock rectangles 2 x 1 3/4". Starting
at bottom 1/4" in and cut a diagonal to top edge on each side
to form the flower pot.
Punch 2 Word Windows from Cajun Craze cardstock.
Step 8
Adhere the Word Window punches to the top of the base and
run thru Big Shot with the Honeycomb Folder.

Step 9
Stamp with Black Stazon and colors, then watercolor a
variety of Secret Garden flowers and leaves. I went with a
solid color theme on each different card.
Stamp 4 extra flowers on Lucky Limeade with Black Stazon
to cut up for leaves.
Not shown: Stamp and cut another set for tag at this point.
Step 10
Add flowers to Flower Pots (I used a color theme for each
card), and cut up Lucky Limeade cardstock flower for leaves.
Add Flower Pots to inside base cards, making sure to line up
pot allowing 1/8" of the "wrought iron" base to show the pot is
sitting on it.
Add 1 x 4 1/4 strip of Designer Paper and a matching flower
to cover inside seam. Stamp Versatile Verses in Black
Stazon inside.
Marina Mist and Pink Pirouette shown.
Step 11
Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight shown.

Step 12
On the outside, stamp the large flower twice, cut with Framelit
and then cut the inside center flower with Paper Snips and
place on larger flower with Stampin' Dimensionals. Add
Pearls to center.
Place a 1 x 4 1/4 strip of Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP across
the front, add the Lucky Limeade leaves and stamp Just
Because in Basic Black ink on front. Add flower with
Stampin' Dimensionals.
Close cards by inserting tabs in slits on back piece.
Step 13
Make tag from Two Tags Die using Marina Mist cardstock.
Assemble flowers in flower pot as shown above, add more
cut up Lucky Limeade flower for leaves. Add Pearls to each
of the centers.
Stamp Just Because from Versatile Verses in Black Stazon
on scrap Whisper White and trim with a flag end. Tuck under
lowest flower and leaves.
Step 14
Wrap Two Tone Ribbon around the set of 4 cards, tie on tag
and know. Trim the ends of the Ribbon.
Give as a nice little gift!
