A Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card made for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop using the Thanks A Bunch stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Tuscan Cypress Trees for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on January 12, 2023January 7, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are expressing our gratitude with thank you cards. Mine is inspired by a card made by my upline, the lovely Mikaela Titheridge using the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Tuscan Cypress card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 5¾” by 4” – rounded upper left corner
Shaded Spruce card – 4⅞” by 2½” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4 ¾” by 2⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White strip – ⅜” wide
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

I stamped the large solid carrot, upside down, in Shaded Spruce ink onto the small panel of Basic White and added the shadow image using Evening Evergreen ink. These ‘trees’ remind me so much of the Cypress Trees common in Tuscany. The smaller trees were stamped in 1^st and 2^nd generation Old Olive ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Thanks A Bunch stamp set used to make a Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I added the ground using one of the images from the Oceanfront stamp set in Soft Succulent ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Thanks A Bunch stamp set used to make a Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

The short grass was added with 1^st and 2^nd generation Old Olive ink using the shadow from the large carrot stamped from side to side. I added the larger tufts of grass from the Oceanfront stamp set in the same Old Olive ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Thanks A Bunch stamp set used to make a Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink to the sky have masked off a small circle for the sun/moon. The decorated panel was then adhered to the layer of Shaded Spruce.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Thanks A Bunch stamp set used to make a Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I stamped some dotage in the upper left and lower right of the Balmy Blue panel but didn’t really like it. I then ran the panel through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I liked this better. I wrapped a piece of Variegated Ribbon around the panel before gluing it to the Balmy Blue card front and adding the stamped panel over top on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Thanks A Bunch stamp set used to make a Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto the ⅜” strip of Basic White card, trimmed down and added to the card front on a Dimensional.

A trio of For Everything Fancy Sequins completed the card.

I love it and I hope you do too.

The large sprig of flowers was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. The in-fill leaves were then stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade Blends Markers were used to colour the flowers. A Coastal Cabana Stamp ‘n Write Marker added colour to the base of the flowers and smaller leaves.
