Tutorial on SCS - Flower Pot Pocket Card
Today’s tutorial on SCS is written by Stephanie Luman and is for the Flower Pot Pocket card.
It’s easy and oh so cute! If you haven’t tried it out, what are you waiting for?
My Flower Pot base is Soft Suede cardstock.
The flap edge was punched with the Eyelet Border Punch and the entire flap was sponged with Soft Suede ink.
The lower part of the Pot is covered with Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper. Polka Dot Red Ribbon was tied around the flap.
The sentiment is from For All You Doand is stamped with Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla cardstock. It was punched out with the small oval punch, layered first on a sponged Chocolate Chip large oval punch-out, then on a Bermuda Bay Scallop Oval. I underlined the sentiment with a paper pierced row and added three little flowers. They had been stamped in Crushed Curry and Real Red, cut out and topped with a tiny Chocolate Chip Circle I had punched out with the Double circle punch (retired).
The flowers were punched with the Embosslit Cherry Blossom, the branches with the die cut Little Leaves.
I punched two for each flower, cut the center out, sponged both of them and added 5/16″ brads in each center. The branches were taped on with Scor-Tape, the flowers with dimensionals.
The first layer of the insert is a 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Textured Real Red cardstock, layered with a 1/4″ smaller piece of Very Vanilla. A 7/8″ x 2 1/4″ piece of Thoroughly Modern DP was added to the bottom of the insert to tie it in with the front.
The sentiment is also from For All You Doand is stamped in Chocolate Chip. The buttefrly from the same set was stamped in second generation Crushed Curry over it.
P.S.: If you want to see/hear my first attempt at a video tutorial for SCS, check it out here. I was very nervous and you can hear it when I talk. I hope I will get better with the following tutorials.

Beate… your card is awesome. I haven’t ever tried the flower pot cards yet, but think I will. I was wondering if you have any tips on using the little leaves sizzlit. I got mine last week and can’t get a good cut with it.. thanks in advance for any tips you may share. Pam

Your tutorial was great! I was especially excited to see and hear directions for tying a knot for a left hander! Ribbons are hard for me and I guess I just never knew how to do it…thanks! Look forward to seeing more tutes from you!!!
Posted by: Robbie | July 24th, 2009 09:23
FABULOUS Tute Beate! It is so cute to hear your voice, and your flower pot is just adorable! Fantastic job

Love the flower-pot card and love the tutorial. You did not sound nervous at all…you are a natural.
Thanks for the advice on tying a bow left-handed. It must be wonderful to be able to cut with your right hand…I have struggled with developing my laft-handed cutting skills for years.
Fantastic job…we look forward to many more.

What a lovely project and a great tutorial! You are a natural teacher, and it shows through, even on video. Your steps were clear and easy to follow and it really made me want to try one. I couldn’t tell one bit that you were nervous. I thought you did a great job! Thanks for taking the time to prepare the tutorial and post it.

What an adorable card! Loved the video tutorial!
Posted by: Scrappin' Cheryl | August 2nd, 2009 20:28
I love the card! I think the tutorial was perfect! I do have one question though. How did you get the sides of the pot angled? Did you have to cut some off?
