Instructions: The ready side-fold card from smooth white cardstock measures, 7" by 7". Choose the paper and two 6" by 6" card panels from the designer paper collection, Cottage Garden Collection. Cut the first square with the cutter, without damaging the outer panel. Glue both the panels on white cardstock creating a border of 1/16" border on all sides. Next cut the window using Cut Mat Create 2A Die and layer the window on white cardstock using foam tape. From another card panel, cut centerpiece using the same die and adhere the scenic picture inside the window of the already prepared card panel. Layer both the panels as shown.
Stamp the images from Cottage Window & Hydrangea Cling Stamp Set and Fresh Cut Hydrangea Cling Stamp Set using black archival ink and color them using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Once done with coloring, cut the images using their coordinating dies. Glue one extra layer on the back for extra strength.
Stamp the image of medium size Hydrangea twig from Fresh Cut Hydrangea Cling Stamp Set using Cactus Flower, Forget Me Not and Olive Green archival ink and cut it using it's coordinating die. Also, stamp and cut the loose Hydrangeas of both sizes multiple times and cut them using the coordinating die as well. Paint them using Forget Me Not and Cactus Flower. Do color the back as well. Soak the petals in water for a few seconds in a bowl of water, damp them with a dry cloth and shape them using golf groove tools. Once shaped, press the center from the front. Pierce the center and glue tiny stamen.
To prepare the Hydrangea, mound, color the stamped Hydrangea using Forget me Not and Cactus Flower and shape the mound from the back. Next, fill the mound gluing shaped Hydrangeas. The leaves of the stem are removed, instead, I have used the Leafy Accents Cling Stamp Set and it's coordinating die and mold to create foliage for which I have used Leaf Green and Olive green archival ink to paint.
Finally, assemble the card as shown, keeping the painted window on the bottom of the card front and creating a small bouquet of 2 Hydrangea mounds on the top. Add the sentiment from the same paper collection. Add a little sparkle by adding crystal clear powder using an adhesive that dries clear.

Instructions: Click here to view another photo of this project. Card Size: 6 x 6”. Cut one of the square panels off at the end. Cut a 6 x 6” panel from the decorative paper to fit inside panel, cut it down to 5 7/8 X 5 7/8 then glue it to the inside panel. Add a bit of BG11 to the flowers on the paper. Pick a decorative paper to match for the front of the card then cut it with the eyelet circle of the Eyelet Window die. Then, cut off the little eyelets around the edge and cut in half and glue it to the top of the circle leaving about 1/4” border. Cut a lavender Eyelet Window Circle with the inside die in place (the more open die). Then run the die cut through again with the same inside die plus the straight line die with holes. Thread the holes with ribbon and secure both ends. Use the inside die also on the bottom half of the card circle front. Glue the lavender die cut circle to the card front matching scallops and all edges at the bottom. Cut another Eyelet Window die from white and only use the inside part of the die at the bottom then glue it to the inside of the front of card matching all edges (this just gives a bit more stability and a nice finish inside as well).
Stamp swans and small hydrangea using Tuxedo Black, die cut and color. Stamp Sentiment using Deep Purple onto matching decorative paper then die cut with Album Tags and Accents. Die cut the eyelet frame for the sentiment out of white. Glue it to the top of the card inside panel. Glue the swans to the bottom, sticking the small hydrangea in under swans on both sides using a little foam tape under the hydrangea flower balls. Glitter the inside.
Stamp the large hydrangea and 2 sets each of the blossoms using Forget Me Not on the flower and blossoms and using Cottage Ivy on the stem and leaves. Sponge the flower ball and blossoms with Deep Purple and Forget Me Not, color the leaves with Copics. Stamp the Flower ball 2 more times and cut with circle die in two smaller sizes (than the flower ball). Sponge with color then add foam tape to the bottom of each circle and stack onto flower ball with smallest circle on top. Form blossoms in the mold (see video) then glue to the flower ball until completely covered. Glitter flower then squeeze a little purple Nuvo into the center of each blossom. To get a flower with more curve for the round front I cut the stem off, glued the flower head to the top of the circle toward the left then reatta the stem so that it can curve, push leaves where you want them and secure with glue. Tie a multi-looped bow with the ribbon and glue to the stem area. Glitter the front of card!

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this layout. Take a blue 12 x 12” sheet from the Cottage Collection paper. Add gesso randomly and non-accurately at the left edge of your paper using a hydra sponge. When completely dry, make ink drop with blue and green ink. With a stencil, add a little bit of modeling paste to give dimension to your background. That completes your work on your background.
Stamp the Oakberry lane blossom flowers with Faded jeans Distress ink on a white cardstock. Color the center of the petals with a dauber and the twisted citron ink. Cut it with the coordinate die. Shape the flowers by using the 3D Shaping Mold and give further shape with Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit tools. Add green stamens in the center of the flowers.
Made leaves using the stamps and die from the cottage Garden Collection. Cut the flowers and use only the leaves. Do some in blue and some in green. Give shape to them with the Deluxe flowers shaping tool.
Use a die to cut 4 beautiful tags in the Cottage Collection paper. Put a nice ribbon in the hole of them. Put a cheesecloth in the left of your paper and glue your picture over it (with 3D foam square to give volume).
Paste down to your picture the flowers you just made, with sewing thread, flair and sequins. Don’t forget to glue your blue and green leaves under the flowers.

Instructions: This card measures 8 1/4”x 6 1/3” (21cm x 17cm) when completed. Make a hinged tent fold card to the above measurements. From the paper collection find the background paper with the blue and yellow hydrangeas in it, cut this a little smaller than the card base. Ink the edges of the card base and the printed paper with the sandstorm ink and inking tool. Adhere the printed paper to the card front. Die cut the fancy outer circle from the Round Window Frame die set, using the outside die and the white card. Ink the edges of this also with the sandstorm ink. Taking the fancy lace die and the printed paper cut a circle. Apply glue to the outside of the circle and dip this into the glitter. Put aside to dry. When dry, adhere both circles to the card base using a thin 3D foam tape.
Prepare all the embellishments: Taking the white card, the stamps, dies and the Nuvo mousse. (the mousse will be used as a watercolor). Stamp and die cut; x1 window and shutters, x1 bird on the branch border, x1 curved hydrangea border, x3 straight hydrangea border. Bring color to the embellishments and using the balling tools bring shape to the leaves, flowers and birds. Using the 3D foam dots adhere the window and shutters to the circle. Adhere the curved border above the window following the curve. Adhere the straight borders under the window, about 1/4” below. Adhere two borders first next to each other, the remaining border adhere on top in the center. Place the birds on the branch at the foot of the window so you will not see a gap.
Make the sentiment by stamping I’m Thinking of You on to the white card with the sepia ink, cut this to a banner. Apply glue to the edges then dip this into the glitter and set aside to dry. Make a triple bow from the organza ribbon. Adhere both the ribbon and the banner to the card front under the borders. To finish the card, apply the diamond stickles to the leaves and swirls. Apply the crystal lacquer to the birds.
