3. Step 3

   Punch the edge of the 2” front flap with the Scallop Edge Punch.

   To create the flower pot shape, place the cardstock in the paper trimmer with the top 2” flap flipped up and the bottom flap folded behind.

6. Step 5

   Adhere the 3” x 3 ½” piece of patterned paper to the bottom front of the flower pot.
   
   Flip the flower pot over and trim away the excess patterned paper from each side.

   

7. Step 6

   Tie ribbon around the top part of the flower pot to hold the pot together, no adhesive needed.
   
   Attach a tag to the ribbon if desired.

   

8. Step 7

   Adhere the 2 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece of cardstock to the 2 ½” x 4 ½” piece of cardstock. This will be the insert piece with the flowers attached at the top. Stamp your sentiment on the lower portion.

   

9. Step 8

   For each flower, use one piece of 3” x 3” patterned paper and one piece of 3” x 3” cardstock .
   
   Apply a small bit of adhesive between the squares before running thru the Big Shot™ to keep them together.

   

10. Step 9

    Run each 3” x 3” piece through a die cut machine to create the flowers.
    
    Punch ¾” circles out of scrap patterned paper for flower centers and adhere to center of two flowers.
    
    For the third flower, adhere ¾” circle to a clear button with a glue dot and then attach to the center of the flower.

    

11. Step 10

    Punch each 2 ½” x 2 ½” piece of cardstock with the 5-Petal Flower Punch and cut apart to create leaves.

    

12. Step 11

    Attach 2 flowers to top of insert piece with dimensionals. Attach top flower to one of the other flowers.
    
    Tip:
    To help with alignment, place insert piece inside of flower pot before attaching flowers.
    
    If you want your card to fit in an A2 envelope, line the envelope up underneath the card and use as a guide while attaching the flowers to make sure they're not too tall or wide.

    

13. Step 12

    To attach the leaves, place adhesive on end of each leaf and adhere in between the flower layers.
