If you're looking for fresh crafting inspiration this summer, the Summer Garden Collection is bursting with beautiful florals, delicate greenery and charming garden-inspired designs. From greeting cards to thoughtful gift packaging and decorative home décor.
Whether you're crafting for birthdays, thank-you gifts, garden lovers, or simply enjoying a relaxing afternoon in your craft room, here are five inspiring projects to spark your creativity.
Garden Scene frame
Transform your favourite patterned papers into elegant home décor with a dimensional garden scene frame
Layering floral papers with die-cut embellishments creates a beautiful sense of depth, while garden-inspired details such as bicycles, signposts and fluttering butterflies bring the scene to life.
This is perfect for home décor and housewarming gifts.
Garden-Themed Card
The soft watercolour backgrounds in the Summer Garden Collection make the perfect backdrop for handmade cards.
Layer floral die cuts around decorative apertures, add a sentiment and finish with tiny butterflies and pearl embellishments for extra dimension.
Garden-inspired elements like wheelbarrows overflowing with flowers create focal points that feel full of life, making these cards ideal for birthdays, thinking of you messages or simply brightening someone's day.
Decorative Gift Baskets
Turn a simple gift into something extra special by creating your own decorative paper basket.
Using white picket fence details, layered flowers, natural twine and garden-themed sentiments, you can create charming packaging that's almost too pretty to open.
Finish by filling the basket with gifts like chocolates, candles, mini gardening gifts or homemade treats.
Summer Gift Boxes
Decorate gift boxes using the floral patterned papers from the collection, layering intricate die-cut panels over beautiful garden prints for an elegant finish.
Adding dimensional floral embellishments to the centre of each panel ties the whole design together, creating a luxury handmade gift box that's perfect for keeping long after the gift has been opened.
Coordinate your cards and gift boxes using the same papers and embellishments for a beautifully cohesive handmade gift set.
Handmade Seed Packets
Even the simplest gift can feel extra thoughtful with personalised packaging.
Create quick seed packets or treat bags using kraft paper bags decorated with patterned paper toppers and garden-themed sentiments.
These are also perfect for party favours, craft fair packaging, homemade biscuits or sweets and small thank you presents
They're quick to make in batches and are a fantastic way to use smaller paper scraps from your collection.
The Summer Garden Collection is incredibly versatile, making it easy to move beyond traditional card making into home décor, gift packaging and memory keeping. With soft floral artwork, garden scenes and coordinating embellishments, every project captures the relaxed beauty of a summer garden in bloom.
Whether you're creating thoughtful gifts for loved ones or adding seasonal décor to your home, these projects show just how much you can achieve with one beautifully coordinated collection.
