Staggered Line of Trees Card

Posted on October 19, 2025October 13, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Here is a pretty card inspired by one I saw made by Wendy Lee of Creativeleeyours. I used the same Scenic Adventure stamp set but altered the measurements to accommodate our A4 cardstock.

Cloud Cover card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Pretty Peacock card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Balmy Blue card – 3⅛” by 1”
Cloud Cover card – 3⅛” by ½”
Pool Party card – 3” by ⅞”

Summer Splash card – 2⅞” by ⅝”
Lost lagoon card – 3” by ¾”
Basic White card – 5 ¼” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

The six pieces of coloured card were laid the out on my grid paper until I was happy with the positioning. They were originally longer, and some were wider, and I cut them down as I moved them around.

With the strips butted up to each other I stamped the trees across the layers with Pretty Peacock ink.
