Welcome to the Creative Circle March Blog Hop. This month we are giving you a preview of The Garden – one of Liz’ most recent projects. If you’ve just come from her blog, you got a chance to see her lovely interpretation of the design. Because it’s so easy to resize cut files on my Silhouette, I decided to miniaturize it a bit and make a card-in-a-box! 
My garden was primarily constructed with cardstock with a few bits of Botanical Gardens DSP used on the outside of the box (visible with flaps up) and the trellis. All the flowers were cut using the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies and cardstock (Basic Black, Hello Honey, Whisper White, Old Olive, and Mossy Meadow) the Happy Birthday greeting on the front was done with Teeny Tiny Wishes and the Word Window punch.
I made a couple of companion cards to go with the set – take a look:
Again, I relied heavily on cardstock for my basic color scheme and accented with die cut flowers and bits of Botanical Gardens DSP. The greetings used were from Birthday Blooms and Botanicals For You – a Sale-a-Bration set designed to coordinate with the Botanicals suite!
If you will be in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, April 13th, consider joining us for our live event at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center.

Here is my latest work in progress. What am I making, you ask? I’ll give you a hint – I’m working with the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies and some of Liz Holloway’s cut files that we’ll be using in our Make The Rounds Event in April. Stop back on Saturday and take the Creative Circle Blog Hop to see my finished project(s)!

Thanks for hopping over from Di’s blog – this month we are ‘CASEing’ the Catty. CASE is an acronym for Copy And Share Everything, and I chose the Number of Years sample at the bottom of page 10 of the Occasions Mini catalog as my inspiration.
Actually, we worked with this set in my monthly Technique class this past week when we were studying dry-embossed ribbon. Here’s my favorite card from the class:
We started with an 11 x 4 1/4″ card base of Whisper White thick cardstock and layered it with the pink striped DSP from the Birthday Bouquet pack. The top layer is regular Whisper White that measures 3 5/8 x 4″. Using the Number of Years Photopolymer set, we stamped the leaves twice in Old Olive and accented them with Blushing Bride, Rose Red, So Saffron and Pool Party flowers from the same set. The ‘Happy’, ‘th’, and {again} were all stamped in Pool Party, and the 29 was stamped in Crumb Cake on Whisper White cardstock. The banners and numbers were die cut using the coordinating Large Numbers Framelits die set. The numbers and banners were popped up with Dimensionals, and the card was accented with some (retired) Old Olive satin ribbon, Blushing Bride flowers punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, a bit of a Paper Doily, and some Pearls.
I love that the Number of Years set is so versatile and can be used for birthdays, anniversaries, milestones in school years to name a few. I’m also crazy about the font used in the set – so sweet! The stamp set and coordinating Large Numbers Framelit dies come as a bundle as well and will bring you to within 75 cents of a Sale-A-Bration award! Doesn’t get much better than that…
Thank you so much for stopping by today – now it’s time to send you off to see what Kathya has worked with.
