A lovely, masculine, plant themed birthday card made using the Prized Plant stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Prized Plant birthday card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card made for my husband’s birthday using the Prized Plant stamp set. This stamp set was perfect as he loves his houseplants – sadly I don’t have green fingers.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the prized plant card you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¼”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5⅞” by 1⅞”
Parakeet Party card – 4⅜” by 2⅝”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2½”
Shaded Spruce card – 2¼” by ⅜”

 

Using the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, I embossed the 5⅞” by 2¼” panel of Bsic White card. Placeing the embossed panel face down on my desk butted the dsp right up to it and used Sellotape to adhere the pieces together.

A couple of lengths of Parakeet Party Metallic  were wrapped around the joined pieces and secured on the back with more Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Thick Basic White card base.

Using 2nd generation Shaded Spruce ink I stamped the inner image of the plant. The outline image was then stamped in full strength Shaded Spruce ink.

The infill for the plant was stamped in 2nd generation Parakeet Party ink onto the 4¼” by 2½” piece of Basic White card. The stamped panel was then glued to the Parakeet Party layer. This was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Garden Meadow stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and I heat set it with my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front with Dimensionals and liquid glue.
