For today’s blog hop I created a CAS card featuring The Creative Cuts: Houseplants Layering Die Set from the January 2025 Release collection. This beautiful set includes a variety of plant elements, both hanging and upright leaves, plus flowers to bring a fresh vibe to your projects. You can easily mix and match them to craft personalized plant arrangements that enhance your creations.

I started by die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock and used Cottage Garden Artist Alcohol Marker Set N to colour them in.
To create a flowerpot I used a scrap leftover from previous project (which features Essential Textures: Terrazzo Press Plate/Foil Plate and hot foil technique). For the background, I simply inked my 9"x12" Ultra Sticky Mat: Grid with black ink and then pressed a white cardstock panel onto it to create a grid image.

That’s it for me, your next stop is Emily Midgett.
You can find the full line up below.
Thank you for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of the hop!
