Pebbled Path card – 2⅞” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 2½”

On the label I stamped the flower pot in Pebbled Path ink. I added the leaves with Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green inks. I masked off the top of the pot with a Post It Note. The label was then glued to the 2⅞” by 2⅛” piece of Pebbled Path card.

I placed the decorated panel on the 5½” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card, roughly where I planned to adhere it. I then stamped the leaves in the upper left and lower right corners of the topper. The topper was then added to the panel on Dimensionals. The whole panel was glued to the larger Pebbled Path layer and then to the Lemon Lime Twist card front.

A Birthday Paradise card

Posted on December 22, 2023January 5, 2024 by Mo Rootes

I am loving the new Planted Paradise stamp set which will be available from the 4^th January 2024 when the January – April Mini Catalogue launches. I have used it to make a monochromatic birthday card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the birthday paradise card, you will need:

Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using a T square ruler, I marked off a strip 1½” wide near the top of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using a pencil. This would act as a guide when I began stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A striking, monochromatic birthday card card made using the Planted Paradise stamp set

I began by stamping the trio of leaves image in Garden Green ink, above the top pencil line and below the bottom pencil line.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A striking, monochromatic birthday card card made using the Planted Paradise stamp set

The other leaves were added one at a time, starting with the largest and working down to the smallest. Each leaf was stamped in a different shade of green. I used Lemon Lime Twist, Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Old Olive, Shaded Spruce & Mossy Meadow. The pencil lines were then erased.

The stamped panel was glued to the Shaded Spruce layer and then to the Parakeet Party card front.

The sentiment, from the Phrases For All stamp set was inked up – HAPPY with Parakeet Party and BIRTHDAY with Shaded Spruce ink. This was stamped onto the 3½” by 1½” piece of Basic White card. I glued the thin strips of Shaded Spruce card to the sentiment panel. The whole piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
