Card idea | Concord & 9th Secret Garden Stacks

This is definitely the kind of project that requires undisturbed crafting time, an audiobook, and a tall glass of iced coffee to keep you going!

Basically, once you’ve cut the Pop-Out Stacks Base dies from powder blue for the sky, green for the hedges at the back, and grey tones for the wall and path, it’s time to switch gears and raid your cardstock scraps for a whole host of green shades for the foliage and bold pops of colour for the florals.

I usually find it easier to cut what I need for each layer and attach those pieces before moving onto the next layer.

Card idea | Concord & 9th Secret Garden Stacks

The coordinating stamp set includes sentiments for the sign, but it could really do with a birthday sentiment, so the Have a Lovely Day sentiment was the closest that would work for this occasion.

Once everything was assembled and attached, I just needed to add the milestone birthday in Champagne foil card cut from the ever-versatile Bold Numbers dies from The Greetery.

Here’s hoping the recipient will enjoy their special card.

Until next time, happy crafting!

    Fabulous Nat! You have the patience of a saint to assemble something like this. Lovely to be able to put small card scraps to such good use though, the riot of floral colours is perfect for the cottage garden style. I’m sure the recipient loved it!

      Thanks Joanne!
      Let’s just say it’s definitely not my most-used set. BUT it certainly has the wow factor for a special card when the recipient is a garden lover. 😊
      A break from fiddly die-cutting is definitely needed afterwards though! x
