- 4" x 5-1/4" of small sprays of gray leaves/ferns on light gray background design from Bloom Where You're Planted 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 3-1/16" x 4-5/8" from Just Jade Cardstock

- 2" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/2" x 3-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the large piece of gray leaves/ferns Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Paper to the front of the Just Jade card.
Adhere the piece of gray bricks wall Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Paper to the Just Jade rectangle so the right edges are even and a small amount of green shows on the top, left, and bottom edges.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin white strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notched top) as far as it will go. Punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Plentiful Plants Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the skinny sentiment of choice from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched white strip closer to the punched notch with the notch on the left side.
Adhere the sentiment banner punch out to the bottom of the matted gray brick wall designer paper about 1/4" from the bottom. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess white strip on the right edge.
Adhere the matted gray brick wall designer paper with sentiment attached to the front of the card so it is centered top to bottom and the right edge is even with the right edge of the designer paper on the card front.
Mount the rounded bottom flower pot image from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Gray Granite Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-1/2" white square.
Pick out the rounded bottom flower pot die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the stamped flower pot image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the flower pot image is centered in the die. Run through the machine
Mount the curving bunch of round leaf vines image on Block C. Ink it up with the Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2" white square.
Pick out the matching, curving bunch of round leaf vines die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the stamped plant leaves image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the plant leaves image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the Gray Granite rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the macrame potted plant hanger die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the Gray Granite rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the gray side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the macrame potted plant hanger.
Working on the Silicone Craft Sheet so it is easy to remove pieces that have adhesive on them, adhere the bottom part of the macrame hanger cut out over the top of the flower pot cut out so the pot appears to be in the base of the hanger.
Working on the Silicone Craft Sheet so it is easy to remove pieces that have adhesive on them, adhere the curving bunch of round leaf vines cut out to the back of the layered macrame hanger/flower pot so the round leaf vines show on either side of the flower pot/macrame hanger and are tucked through the macrame hanger where possible.
Add some Stampin' Seal to the back of the pot and vine cut outs and adhere everything to the front of the card on the left side of the gray brick wall designer paper rectangle with the top of the macrame hanger about 1/4" from the top of the designer paper rectangle.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the top of the macrame hanger.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 5 small Rich Razzleberry sequins from a sheet of Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the leaves of the vine plant cut out as shown.
