2 Matt pale blue card, 7.5cm x 15.5cm, onto the top of an 8cm x 18cm blank. Cut a narrow 12cm strip of brown card, then glue in the centre with the hearts down the length to form a topiary.
3 Snip a small pot shape from pink card plus a bow from orange, then stick over the base of the brown strip using 3D foam pads. Add a sentiment to the white space at the bottom.
Bunny Tag
1 Layer an 8cm long bright pink egg shape onto the centre of a 10cm white one.
2 Die cut one bunny from white card, plus another from aqua, then inlay the aqua detailing into the white outline.
3 Stick to the pink egg. Punch a hole in the top and thread with pink twine. Add a large aqua bow to the egg to finish.
Lemon Tag
1 Trim an 8.5cm wide hexagon from white card, then layer yellow patterned paper on top.
2 Arrange six 2.5cm wide white die-cut hexagons around one yellow one to form a flower.
