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.

The sentiment, from the Layered Thoughts stamp set was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink or Garden Green ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I set it aside to dry.

The largest leafy sprig was stamped with Garden Green ink – the outline in 1^st generation and the infill with 2^nd generation ink. The next spray of leaves was stamped with Basic Beige ink, 1^st generation for the outline and 2^nd generation for the infill. The single flower was then randomly stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. The pencil lines were then erased.

Unbounded Beauty Notecard Wallet – Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Posted on March 22, 2025May 8, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are showcasing notecard gift sets. I have used the lovely Unbounded Beauty designer series paper (dsp) and a new stamp set called Layered Thoughts stamp set, which will be available in the new Annual Catalogue next month to make my notecard and holder. I was inspired by this video on YouTube video by Julie Davison

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the notecard holder, you will need:

Unbounded Beauty dsp – 12” by 12” – scored at 1¾” and 5¾” then rotated 180° and score again at 1¾” & 5¾”. Rotate 90° and score at 2½” and 8¼”.

Fold and burnish on all the scorelines. Fold the two 1¾” side panels to the back so that the reverse of the paper is showing and fold down each corner. Fold the two centre scorelines inward to form the spine of the notecard wallet.
