I combined two Designer Series papers, the retiring 2021-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″, with the All Together, all black and white patterns.

For interest, I used an additional Bermuda Bay color for the stamping of the flowers and the sentiment.

To tie things together, I used the, also retiring, Playful Pets Trim Combo pack.

This is just a fun, happy card wouldn’t you agree?

Here, I added the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the card! I really haven’t used it much. It mimics the lattice pattern in the Rain Boots Dies.

I love the detailed cultivator! I used two colors here to make it more realistic looking!

I am trying to do more with the insides of my cards. Here I added more seed packets! Too cute!

All the dies I used today, I used with my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine! I didn’t realize just how much I use it until it went on sale! Yes, this mini machine is 20% off! And so are several bundles you can use with it. Look at all of them here!
