It’s Sunday. Time for the Paper Players Blog Challenge. Anne Marie is our host this week. Her Clean & Simple Challenge theme is polka dots. Polka dots are always on trend. Clean and Simple is a card with minimal layers, little or no embellishments and lots of clean white space.
Today’s post features the Bloom Where You’re Planted Suite. I used the Perfect Plants Dies, Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper and Thick Basic White cardstock for my card. My polka dot embossing folder, which has made many trips through my cutting machine, is also featured here today.
- I die cut both the plant pot and plant directly from the patterned paper.
- The macrame die makes it easy to create a “hanging plant”.
- I die cut the macrame plant hanger from Crumb Cake card stock and sponged it lightly with crumb cake ink for a bit more dimension.
- I lined the back of the macrame plant hanger with glue from my fine tip glue pen then attached the pot and the plant to the plant hanger from the back.
- This made it easier to position the plant and plant pot.
- The “hanging plant” is attached to my card with Dimensionals.
- The sentiment, from Pansy Patch, is stamped with Crumb Cake ink and attached with Mini Dimensionals.
This Clean and Simple card is also quick and easy.
So, find some fun polka dots, add a few die cuts and a sentiment and create something clean and simple to link up with us over at the Paper Players.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

This is so sweet…first, I will NEVER get rid of my polka dot EF, it’s a go-to standard in my craft room! Second, your little hanging basket is so realistic…cute as can be and perfect for a CAS creation!
Love your hanging plant pot Deb – it makes a great focal point – as that dot EF makes a perfect background. A craft room staple that one, for sure!
This is adorable! Great way to show off the paper and the dies for this suite! Perfect example of CAS!! Have a great week!
This is CAS perfection! Love the dotted background too! Sorry I didn’t swing by last week I was away for a little unexpected vacay! Take care!
Such a wonderful CAS card, Debbie! This bundle is on my list. After seeing this card, I think I better submit the order!!! Great job as always!
Debbie, I love all that wonderful white space it really allows the eye to focus on that gorgeous planter. Fabulous card

I just love this embossed polka dot background! Your planter is so pretty and pops off the white space! So pretty! I hope you have a great weekend!
Simply Stunning, Debbie! I just love that little hanging plant and how it stands out on the clean layout. The pop of polka dots are a perfect background, too. Adorable!
