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.
