Prairie Grass Card

Posted on October 2, 2025September 20, 2025 by Mo Rootes

The card I am sharing today was inspired by a card created by Melody Hyde and was made using the Prairie Grass stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the prairie grass card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Lights of Aurora dsp – 5” by 1¼”
Gold Foil – 5” by ¼”
Basic White card – 5” by ⅜”

I drew a light, slanted pencil line along the bottom of the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card.

The large grass image was then stamped 2 or 3 times in Secret Sea ink overlapping the drawn line at the bottom. Using Pecan Pie ink, I stamped the image 2 or 3 times over the Secret Sea images.

A piece of the Lights of Aurora dsp was adhered to the bottom along the length of the drawn line. The excess was trimmed off with Scissors.

Using Secret Sea ink I stamped the sentiment, from the Blooming Phrases stamp set, onto the thin strip of Basic White card and added it to the stamped panel, trimming off the excess.

A strip of gold foil was added above the sentiment and the panel was glued to the Secret Sea layer. A length of Gold Trim was then wrapped around the whole piece before it was glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

A bow and a trio of Iridescent Foil Gems completed the card.

Ruby Wedding Card

Posted on July 13, 2025July 6, 2025 by Mo Rootes

I made this shaker card to celebrate the ruby wedding anniversary (40^th) of my brother and sister-in-law which is today. I made it using the new Party Alphabet dies and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the ruby anniversary card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8” by 7” scored at 3½”
Season of Elegance dsp – 7¾” by 3¼”
Thick Basic White card – 7½” by 3”
Window Sheet – 7⅜” by 2⅞” x 2
Secret Sea card – 3” by ½”

I lined the letters RUBY on the 7½” by 3” panel of Thick Basic White card making sure to get them as straight as possible. I held them in position with small pieces of Washi Tape from my stash and die cut them out. I removed the letters and set them aside as I did not need them for this card, but I did need the inner pieces from the R and the B.
