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.

  20. Sigh… I love this release, and have added quite a few things to my shopping cart. The terrazzo background is already on its way, and I’m inspired on other ways to use it, other than “just” a background.
