Morning all, hope you had a good weekend and are ready to see a set that most of you will have overlooked in the Stampin Up catalogue.
It's this little beauty, Cottage Garden (p 53 in the catalogue) and £15.95 for clear and £18.95 for wood. Such amazing value at £2.70 per stamp if you choose the wood set!!!
I really hope that by the end of the week you will have fallen in love with this set as much as I have. Here is my first little project. When I first sat down with this set I had made loads of samples using the flower and sentiment images but was really at a loss as to what to do with the branch/stem image. With a little tinkering, I was delighted with this card that I think it was my favourite of all I made –
I used Sahara Sand as a card base and folded the card base like this –
The supplies I used were –
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand & Old Olive
Ink – Early Espresso,, Rich Razzleberry & Perfect Plum
Stamp sets – Cottage Garden & Tiny Tags
Accessories – Basic Pearls (just for a change :-)), scallop border punch, Cosmo Glitter and the paper crimper (for the leaves)
I also have a pack of Cottage Wall DSP 12×12 which was available a while back but is sadly no longer available. So anyone adding me to the list of blogs they follow (follow me link on the left of my blog) and leaving a comment will go into a draw at the end of the week to win the pack of 12×12 paper.
Come back tomorrow for more from the Cottage Garden set…..

I love this set Michelle – I was looking at it in the catalogue myself last night…. think I shall defo treat myself now!!! I love the colours used as well. You are fabby!!

You’re right Michelle … it is one of the sets I’ve overlooked as well (though I don’t know why, as I love the sentiment!) Your card is absolutely beautiful and I love the effect you get when you open it up. I’m just writing out my wish list ready to give to the Bank Manager in support of my overdraft ….. Luv Linda -x-
Hi Michelle,
You really come up with lovely ideas. This card is so fresh and spring like. Roll on the spring!
Thanks for the inspiration.
