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.
