Miniature potted flower birthday card

I'm still in the mood of making potted flower cards, but this time I'm making a miniature potted flower. 
Lots of ideas to choose from but I love the idea of a deep scope shape flower. I think how this flower complements with the combination of foliage makes the finished product so cute and adorable. 
The flower is attached firmly into the oasis in site the cube shape pot.


Do you thinks it's an adorable miniature greeting card?

Potted flower retirement card

Here I go again, another farewell card. This time it's a retirement occasion.  I love the idea of a bouquet but I've explored bouquet card design extensively, so I decided to make it look like a potted plant. 
The planter is in a cube and an oasis is placed inside the cube to hold the flowers firmly. The stem is created with a florist wire to make it strong support when pushing it down into the oasis. The foliage is using mixtures of leaves from the Botanical garden Framelits.



The pot is finished off with a silk ribbon tied around it. I just love the combination of the flowers and foliage.

Cascading farewell card

For someone leaving, it's always a tradition to receive a leaving card. Cards can be just something simple and nonexistent specially if the leaving present becomes the focus. So for a special someone leaving, a bouquet card will make a keepsake card.
I have always loved the special effect a cascading card can show. It's layered effect shows a dimension that gives a naturalistic impression. I have also included 4 pockets insert to hold 12 tags for individual messages. The tags are embellished with ribbon and shimmer ties. This allows the recipient to pull out the tags. The tags also gives that extra fullness in amongst the flowers and foliage.
I have enjoyed the challenge this card had given me but the finished product has given me so much satisfaction that the recipient will surely enjoy.

Looking from the top of the cascading card, providing the layered look and how the pockets insert keeps the tags nicely tacked in.
