Barrel Planter

 It has been awhile since I did some die cuts with flowers and I hadn't used this pot in some time so why not combine them :) I cut a frame with the arch dies by putting two sizes of them together and cutting them at the same time. The stencil is thinner than my card base so I had to try and piece it together to cover the front, can you see the seam?


  • Impression Obsession - Whiskey Barrel Planter die
  • Spellbinders - Be Bold Blooms dies
  • Sizzix - Rounded Tags die (cut a frame)
  • Tim Holtz - Brick and stone stencil using Lost shadow distress ink
  • Martha Stewart - tag punch
  • Taylored Expressions - Many Minis occasions sentiment stamp

I would like to share my card today with the following challenges:

A cut above Challenge Use die cuts
Stencil Fun Challenge Optional use your flag colors

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

    Connie, I'm so glad to see your card in our Double D challenge! I absolutely LOVE it! Those flowers are so cute and the barrel is just darling. I have two of those in my garden. Your stenciled background is flawless. I do not see where you joined it at all. Thanks for playing along with us!

    This scene is so inviting and beautifully composed. The whiskey barrel makes such a charming planter, and I love how the vibrant die cut blooms feel like they’re basking in sunshine. Your stencil work is seamless—truly can’t spot a join—and it adds just the right rustic touch to complete the look. Such a refreshing burst of summer creativity!
