A pretty, staggered line of trees themed card made using the Scenic Adventure stamp set and strips of card from Stampin' Up!

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.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the staggered line of trees card, you will need:

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”
Coastal Cabana card – 2⅞” by ¾”
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.

I stamped strips were placed onto the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card, taking time to match up the stamping. Some were adhered down with glue and others with Dimensionals. The whole panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock panel and then to the Cloud Cover card front.

A double Linen Thread Bow was added to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot.

I roughly laid the die cut rectangles out on the panel of Basic Beige to see how they would best fit. Some of the rectangles were cut down to make them shorter or thinner.

All of the images from the Darling Dinos stamp set were stamped on the rectangles with Secret Sea ink and coloured them in using the following Blends Pens – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Dark Naturals & Secret Sea. The decorated rectangles were then added to the Basic Beige panel on Dimensionals.

The small heart image was stamped in Basic Beige in the small gaps before the whole panel was glued to the Secret Sea layer. I then adhered it to the Basic Beige card front.

The sentiment, from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Secret Sea card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.

Using the Merriest Trees Dies I die cut the largest tree from the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. The negative piece was then embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

I placed the die cut tree onto the Pretty Peacock panel and used a pencil to lightly draw around the shape. This would give me a guide when adding my strips of dsp.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added each strip of dsp to the Pretty Peacock layer, trimming off the excess dsp as I went.

The embossed panel was then mounted over the top of the strips on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the retired Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Pretty Peacock card. I had masked off the bottom of the sentiment prior to inking it up as I only wanted the ‘merry christmas’.

The stamped sentiment was covered with White Embossing Powder and set with my Heat Tool before being added to the card front.
