Springtime in the Garden

Hello and thanks for joining me today.

I love Spring (yeah yeah I love all seasons) - when the flowers peep out, the smell of the air after the rain stops and the rising of the temperature. Ahhhhh.....

I think I captured all of this in the project I want to show you today. I broke out all my Spring-y papers and decided on the "Botanical Collection" from Prima (an oldie but goodie)

First I made the Hex Watering Can found in the SDS Store and in the Silhouette Design Store:

It's made from AC Cardstock in Vanilla and decorated with the lovely patterned paper. It is SO easy to make....Even without a tutorial :-)

Then I made a flower to go with it:

This is made from AC Cardstock in Vanilla and Mint and the flower is made entirely from the patterned paper and so is the panels on the flower pot. This consists of three files - The Flower 3D Ball Ornament, the Flower Ball Topiary 3D Pot and the leaves are from the Tulip 3d Cubic Three Stems in Crate. (Found in the Silhouette Store: Ball, pot and tulips)

All of these have been downsized by 50% to keep the size ratio.

I added a small red dot from Doodlebug Design to the center of the small center of the flower and added some flower foam plus some Spanish Moss into the pot. I stuck the leaves into the flower foam to keep them in place.

Here's a view from above:

I really love this set - it fits so well together and it doesn't take up much space :-)

Hope you liked this cute set and please don't forget to leave me a small comment on your way out.

Vintage Watering Can

Spring is here and I am ready to go play in the garden.

Tracy here and today is my turn to post on the SVG Attic blog and what could be more fitting for spring then a vintage watering can?

I am so happy with the way this turned out.  

I used paper from Pink Paislee and the  Hex shaped watering can from the 

SDS Watering Wishes collection

To create this project, 1st open the Hex shaped watering can and double the size.

(mine stands almost 8" tall and is 11" wide from the handle to the spout)

Once the can is glued together and before you add the optional access pieces, ink everything up with a tan ink.

Cut two of the flat daisies, without changing the size.

Ink them as well.

The can needed a couple of butterflies so I used the two from

Easter Elements file.

To finish it off, tie some twine around the spout.

I can't wait to place this project up on my shelf in my kitchen. 

SVG Attic Guest Designer Pam Leng - Beautiful Flowers

Hello SVG Attic fans this is Pam here from hookedonkrafts .  I am so excited today as this is my very first post as a Guest Designer for SVG Attic. I was so thrilled to be asked and I knew straight away what my first project was going to be :) I always have a full wish list in the SVG Attic store so it was just a matter of click, purchase and away I went.

For this project I used the SDS Watering Wishes Kit and the flowers are just perfect to re size to go inside the watering can. I used some really bright papers that I had in my stash and even the small daisies on the handle were made with the same cutting file as the larger flowers.

At the moment my Mother in Law is not very well and in hospital so this was perfect to take her as a gift as real flowers are no longer allowed.

Thank you for popping in today and why not pop straight over to the SVG Attic store and have a look at all their gorgeous collections there are to choose from.

Welcome Spring Collection with Lisa

Lisa from The Crafting Cave sharing a "Happy Mother's Day" set I made using 

SVG Attic's Welcome Spring Collection.

This collection is so versatile, I fell in love with it.

 Birdhouse, Birdcage and Watering Can

I used DCWV The Preppy Princess Stack for all the projects listed.

I'm planning on using the Birdhouse to hold a cupcake. I have plastic container

for cupcakes that fits perfectly inside. I cut everything out and then assembled. Of course, 

that's when my wheels start turning. The lattice around the bottom actually goes with the birdcage file and the bird is from the card file. I added a little moss, the flowers, and punched the birds around the top. I dabbed gold ink randomly on the birdhouse.

 As I worked on the birdhouse my brain was in overdrive. (I'm dangerous if I sit still too long!)

The watering can was next and I knew I would want to use it for fresh flowers. (I'm thinking I can 

use a clear cup to hold the flowers.) The file uses a very pretty flower on the sides of the watering can but I wanted to cover it butterflies since I'm using fresh flowers in it. Well, hello, perfect! The birdcage has a butterfly that perches on top of it. I just resized the butterfly file and cut multiples. 

I inked a few of the butterflies using distress inks and added pearls. I really wanted it to pop though. 

So gold and pink glittered butterflies did the trick.

I think the birdcage will make a beautiful centerpiece. Again, I used elements from other files, within this collection, to embellish the birdcage. I added glitter to the bird and let the polka dots on the leaves do the work for me. The flowers are from my stash. 

I have some other ideas for this collection. I'm positive I will be using it again!

I hope you have an amazing weekend!
