TGCDT: June 2021 | Bloom Where You are Planted





Hi There and thanks so much for stopping by today. Its Bruno here im participating in the monthly design team blog hop for TGCDT - The Gentleman Crafters Design Team (all of the members are from around the world and are ..... MALE!).

When I opened the new 2021-22 Annual Catalogue, my FAVOURITE Suite was Bloom Where You Are Planted. There was no question whatsoever! Just as the pandemic started, a friend bought us an indoor plant. We loved it - and had no idea how to take care of it. That plant today is very happy! And, we now have twenty-six indoor plants (obsessed much) and none have died (yet).

Another product I was intrigued with was the Layering Diorama die collection. The catalogue showed it on an underwater scene and looked AMAZING. In my mind, I wanted it to be a booklet. So, the Bloom Where You're Planted Suite (yes, ALL of the products) and the Layering Diorama dies, here is the project I came up with.


To show how it works, here is a super-quick video (33 seconds).


For the colour palette, I used the colours found on the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP Collection. This suite of colours is BEAUTIFUL together.
To get a closer look, I took a picture of each page. You will notice that I used EVERY sentiment in the stamp set. 


The front and back cover is Grey Granite. The layering diorama dies are nested but they can be placed anywhere and in any order. I used them in descending order (ie. getting smaller). 

One of the most striking dies in the Perfect Plants die collection is the hanging plant. I cut this out using gold metallic specialty paper. The hanging plant is taken from the DSP and cut out using coordinating dies. On the front page, I used a window sheet. 


On the second page (Just Jade), I used the Paper Lattice and some Vellum. The plant is taken from the DSP and is 'fussy-cut.'


On the third page (Garden Green), I used the some Vellum. The plant is taken from the DSP and is 'fussy-cut.'


On the Forth page (Cinnamon Cider), I used the some Window sheet. The plant is taken from the DSP and cut out using coordinating dies. 


On the fifth page (Cajun Craze), I used the some window sheet. The left plant is taken from the DSP and is 'fussy-cut' and the right plant is also taken from the DSP and cut out using coordinating dies. 


On the sixth page (Evening Evergreen), I used the some shimmer vellum (also in Evening Evergreen). The plant is taken from the DSP and cut out using coordinating dies. 


The final page is the back cover (grey Granite). It has some DSP attached to a Cinnamon Cider mini card......


..... which is where a message can be written. 

I loved making this card, I loved using these GORGEOUS products and hope you like it too! Let me know what you think in the comments below.

As mentioned, this is a blog hop! Make sure you hop around to all of the other participants to check out their AWESOME projects!
