Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs. Today I have a Planter Box Card to share with you. After a bit of a craft 'slump' three challenges finally got me motivated and back into my craft room ... so a big thank you to all the DT members for their inspiration.
This card is similar to the one that I made for mum for Mother's Day but I changed the measurements slightly so it's a little shorter and have included a mini tutorial at the end of this post if you would like to make one too.
1. Cut two pieces of Kraft Card Stock, 2-1/2" x 6" (Score at 3") and four pieces, 3-1/2" x 1" (Score at 1/2" on the short side) and stamp the Harwood Stamp onto each piece with Crumb Cake Ink.
3. Cut three card inserts measuring 2"x 4" and score 1/2" from each end of the longer
sides to make the flaps that secure to the inside sides of the planter
box.

The colour challenge at the Global Design Project is just perfect for spring and I really, really love the combo! I have included some Kraft Card Stock as a neutral for the construction of the planter box.

5. The card will fold flat to fit inside a custom made envelope. However, I've decided not to give this one away and use it to brighten up the desk in my office instead.
Thanks for stopping by,
