3. Use a craft knife to cut a line in the plant stand just under the line of greenery. DO NOT cut to the side edges! You can also cut out the background pieces, if desired.
4. Using a grey marker, edge all the pieces to hide the raw white edges.
5. Add your potted plants through the line and trim the pots that peek out of the bottom of the planter box.
6. Carefully remove the lattice piece from the laser cut sheet.
7. Using strong liquid glue adhere the lattice piece to card front (off centre)

9. Add the black and white Happy Birthday sentiment from the Creative Cuts pack.
10. Using the 03 fine liner pen, add dashes around the card front about .5cm in form the edge of card to create a border.
