Let me show you a few things I have created with Petite Pots!

For my first project I decided to go a bit outside of the box and use some bits and piece from this gorgeous set to create a wreath.  It was super easy to do just by drawing a circle in pencil to use as a reference while I was building the wreath.

I stamped the leaves first using both Limeade Ice and Simply Chartreuse.  The Aqua Mist flowers were stamped with the cute little shading detail using Ocean Tides.  Accents of Berry Sorbet were added using the berry trio stamp.

The Summer Sunrise flower centers are accents with Glossy Accents.

I love this little multi-step bird included int he set!  It is stamped in Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold and Charcoal Palette ink.

I love this "don't lose hope" sentiment, it can fit so many occasions!  It was added underneath the wreath using Ocean Tides.  Everything was mounted onto an Aqua Mist card base.

The little flower pots in this set can be used for things other than pots, as shown here by this little border detail!

First, the flowers.  I stamped the stems in both Simply Chartreuse and Spring Moss.  The main flowers were stamped in Melon Berry and Harvest Gold, then followed up with the shading details in Berry Sorbet and Summer Sunrise respectively.  I love that the shading details almost look hand drawn!  I added the stamped centers and three dots of glossy accents for texture.

The rectangular flower pot worked well for this ombre border, which I created with Terracotta Tile, Canyon Clay, Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry, Summer Sunrise and Harvest Gold.  The sentiment was added to the right of this.

The border was adhered directly to the Kraft card base, while the other portions were adhered with foam tape for dimension.

I added white stitching around the perimeter using a white gel pen.

Here I have mixed several of the potted flowers for an eclectic look.

all of the two step stamping is so much fun, it's almost as if you are painting a picture with stamps.

I die-cut Phrase Play #5 from the new Luxe Gold Adhesive Sheet and trimmed it out of the frame with a few snips.  The companion sentiment was added above that in True Black.

Everything is mounted onto a Raspberry Fizz card base.

My next project was a bit tricky to photograph, but I hope it's beauty comes through all the same!  I used the new Luxe Gold Foil Patterned Paper as my card front.

The tulips are one of my favorite flowers in this stamp set.  They are stamped in Pure Poppy and accented with a touch of Scarlet Jewel.  The stem and leaves were inked in Simply Chartreuse and then the bottom portion inked with a bit of Ripe Avocado to create a bit of an ombre effect.

The pot is stamped in Blueberry Sky with the accent being added in Enchanted Evening.  The sentiment underneath that is stamped in True Black.

Everything is adhered to a Pure Poppy card base to help bring out the red in the tulips.

How about another card featuring that sweet little bird?

I stamped the flowers in Winter Wisteria and Plum Pudding, adding the stems and grass in Simply Chartreuse.

The bird was added in Blueberry Sky and Spring Rain, framed with some clouds created with the new Blue Skies dies.

I cut some Blueberry Sky Striped paper on the diagonal to tuck behind the card front, allowing it to peek out on just two sides.

The sentiment is from Feather Finery, stamped in True Black.

I have one last card for you today, and this one could be done in nearly any color scheme, but I chose to stick with a pretty blue.

I stamped the flower stems in New Leaf and added this squiggle underneath, which is really a little accent for one of the pots.  The flowers are added in Blueberry Sky and the shading for it in Enchanted Evening.

The sentiment is heat embossed in White Filigree Embossing Powder and accented by a strip of Sheer Basics Vellum in bitty dot.  White crochet thread finished with a bow serves as a nice border.

Thanks for joining me this morning and I hope you enjoyed the projects I presented to you!  And don't worry!  The Design Team will be sharing projects made with this set on March 1st, so you have that to look forward to!

We would love to hear your initial thoughts of Petite Pots.  Is there a particular project that just *speaks* to you?  What color schemes are you dreaming up?  Do already have your points set aside for this, or are you planning on saving them up throughout the year?  I appreciate you stopping by and happy Release Day!
