A pretty card made using the Garden Gatherings stamp set, the Beautiful Bokeh dsp and Vellum from Stampin' Up!

Embossed Vases Card

Posted on June 14, 2026June 8, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet card inspired by Wendy Lee of Creativelee Yours – using the pretty Garden Gatherings stamp set and the Beautiful Bokeh dsp.

Colours used in making this card are:

I created the embossed vases card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Vellum – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Beautiful Bokeh dsp – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White -2½” by 2”
Scrap Basic White

Using Versamark ink, I randomly stamped both vases from the garden Gatherings stamp set all over the panel of Vellum. I covered the panel with White Embossing Powder and set it using my heat tool. I added dots to some of the vases using the White Gel Pen.

I die cut a label from the small piece of Basic White card using the Nested Essentials dies and stamped the sentiment, from the Cutest Crew stamp set with Calypso Coral ink.

I adhered the label to the panel of Vellum with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive trapping a strip of retired Calypso Coral Ribbon. More liquid adhesive was added to the back of the vellum panel where it would be hidden by the label and glued it to the panel of dsp. The whole panel was then mounted onto the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

I adhered a piece of the Extraordinary Flora dsp to scrap Basic White card and die cut my chosen image. This was the adhered to the card front.

I stamped the vase with Secret Sea ink onto a scrap of Mixed Up Patterns dsp and die cut it using the Garden Gatherings dies. I decided that I didn’t like the dsp rim around the vase so fussy cut around the vase with sharp scissors.

The stamped panel was then adhered to the Secret Sea panel before it was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
