STAMPIN' UP! PLENTIFUL PLANTS BIRTHDAY CARD

My darling daughter-in-law is 25 today.  Here is the card I made for Tanikka, using seven (!) sets of dies, and an embossing folder.  Did anyone else start making cards because it would "save so much money"?  😂  It's just as well this beautiful hobby brings us so much joy!

I started with a Pool Party card base, and added a layer of Basic White card.  I then embossed another Basic White panel with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.

The horizontal strip across the front of the card is a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock, on which I used the Stitched Greenery Die.  I tucked a Basic Borders die cut, in Crumb Cake card, underneath that.

The sentiment, from the Peaceful Moments stamp set, was white heat-embossed on a scrap of Coastal Cabana card.  I used a Beautiful Trees Die to cut it out.  The numbers were cut from a piece of Pool Party card decorated with the Stitched Greenery Die.  (I attached Foam Adhesive Sheet to the piece of card before die-cutting it.)  Afterwards, I used my Pool Party Stampin' Blends markers to create a subtle ombre effect on the numbers.

The flower pot was stamped in Pool Party ink on a concrete-patterned piece of paper from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP pack.  The plants in the pot were die-cut from another piece of paper in that same pack.

Here's a closer look at the embossed background, and the hanging plants and bird.  The bird was cut from a Baby Clothes Die, and the heart was cut out from Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper (just retired), using a Birds & More Die.

STAMPIN' UP! PLENTIFUL PLANTS THANK YOU CARD

As you may have noticed, I've been having a lot of fun making cards with the Plentiful Plants bundle.  I'm finding the plant theme a refreshing change from flowers!

The only stamping on today's card is the sentiment, stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on Mint Macaron card (then cut out using an Ornate Frames die).  The plants, pot and "shelf"  have been cut from Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Series Paper.

As well as cutting a scalloped circle (using Layering Circles dies) from Basic White card, I used the same die on a Square Vellum doily, which I adhered to the white card circle.  I coloured some white baker's twine with my Light Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends marker.  A few Champagne Rhinestones were added to the background paper, as a finishing touch.
