Striped Leaves Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on October 7, 2026September 25, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing a technique of our choice. Now, I am in the middle of moving house and most of my craft room is packed and ready to go so I have used things I have to hand. One of my favourite things is to use up scraps and I have used this idea with the Elegant Leaves dies to create a pretty birthday card.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the striped leaves card using the following supplies:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic Black – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Scenic Coast dsp – 6” by ⅜” x 6 or 7
Adhesive Sheet
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

Using the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder I embossed the Basic Black layer and adhered it to the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. The whole panel was then glued to the Basic Black card front.

I found a scrap piece of Basic White card big enough to die cut the leaves I wanted to use and added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to cover it.

The strips of Scenic Coast dsp were then applied, at an angle to the sticky side of the Basic White panel, trimming of the overhanging pieces reusing them if possible.

Hello and welcome to the Funky Folds Blog Hop where I am sharing an Autumn leaf overlay card featuring the Elegant Leaves stamp set and dies with the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (dsp).

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the relaxing chair card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛”
Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 3”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 5¾” by ⅞”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2
Scrap Basic White

A handmade card made using Stampin’ Up! product and featuring the Elegant Leavesn stamp set and the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (dsp) – Funky Folds Blog Hop

I stamped the smallest detailed leaf on both pieces of Lovely Blossoms dsp measuring 4” by 1¼” using Old Olive ink. The three pieces of dsp were then glued to the Thick Basic White card base. The long thin piece along the top flap and the two shorter, squatter ones on either side.

A handmade card made using Stampin’ Up! product and featuring the Elegant Leavesn stamp set and the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (dsp) – Funky Folds Blog Hop

I embossed the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder and glued the embossed piece to the 4⅛ by 3⅛” panel of Thick Basic White card with a small border around both sides and the bottom. It won’t reach the top of the panel, and this is intentional.

The embossed piece was then placed onto the card base with the top tucked up under the top flap. I added glue to the top of the embossed panel and folded the top over.

I inked up the large, detailed leaf with Darling Duckling ink and added both Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive inks with Sponge Daubers. I then stamped it down on scrap Basic White card. I also stamped the smallest detailed leaf with Cherry Cobbler ink. Both these images were then die cut.
