Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Smoky Slate – 4¼” by 2¼”
Basic White – 4” by 2”

Using Pool Party ink, I stamped the dotage image from the Gears & Textures stamp set.

I cut two leafy sprigs from the scrap Pretty Peacock card using the Greenery Lane Dies. I added them with a little Liquid Adhesive to the stamped panel, angled to the upper left and lower right corners and with some leaves not adhered down. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer and then to the Smoky Slate card front.

The Nested Essentials dies were used to cut labels from the small panels of Smoky Slate and Basic White card. The sentiment, from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set was stamped on the Basic White label in Pretty Peacock ink. The two labels were glued together and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Gallery Blooms card

I am sharing a thank you card today made using the gorgeous Gallery Blooms stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the gallery blooms card using the following supplies:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic Gray card – 5½” by 3¾”
Soft Sea Foam card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

I cut the panel of Soft Sea Foam card on the diagonal and ran one half through my cut and emboss machine with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I glued the embossed piece to the layer of Basic Gray card leaving an ⅛” around the bottom and both sides and trimmed the top layer down to leave a ⅛” border.

I placed the embossed panel on the Soft Sea Foam card front and lightly drew a pencil line along the top. The floral image was then stamped twice along the pencil line which was then erased.

The whole panel was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a stitched circle from the square of Basic White card.

I chose a sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set and masked off the words and stamped them one at a time on the die cut circle in Basic Gray ink. The spray of flowers was added with the same ink.

Greenery Lane Leafy Card

Posted on January 11, 2026January 6, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a pretty thank you card made using the Greenery Lane and the Layered Thoughts stamp sets.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the greenery lane leafy card, you will need:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Beige card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 3¾” by 1⅝”
Blackberry Bliss card – 3¾” by ⅛”

I laid the 3¾” by 1⅝” strip of Basic White card across one of the 5½” by 3¾” layers of Basic White card and drew along the edges with a pencil. This helps with placing the images when I come to stamping.
