Posted on October 31, 2022October 24, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing Autumn or Halloween themed Projects. I have chosen to share a card made for my son-in-law’s birthday made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and Grove Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the grassy grove easel card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 5½ by 8¼” – scored at 4⅛” and 2 and 1/16”
Early Espresso card – 5¼” by 3⅝”
Pool Party card – 5⅛” by 3½”
Fluid 100 card – 5⅛” by 3½”
Early Espresso card – 5⅜” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Scrap Early Espresso

I used a Water Painter to dampen the panel of Fluid 100 paper. I then added Garden Green ink to the top and Soft Suede ink to the bottom and set it aside to dry.

Once the panel was dry, I die cut it using the Grove Dies. I added Mossy Meadow ink to the tree canopy using the Water Painter and Soft Suede ink to add shadows to the tree trunks. The ground was added with Garden Green ink. I die cut 2 deer from scrap Early Espresso card and added them to the panel on Dimensionals.

Using pieces of Dimensionals I added the watercolor piece to the Pool Party layer. The whole piece was then mounted onto the 5¼” by 3⅝” piece of Early Espresso. The panel was then glued to the front of the card base using liquid glue only on the bottom of the panel.

I die cut the number 3 and 0 from scrap Early Espresso card, I repeated it until I had three of each. Each number was glued to its mates and then glued to the panel of Basic White card.

The word ‘today’ was stamped in Early Espresso ink next to the 30 and trees stamped next to it in Garden Green ink. A trio of Brushed Metallic Dots completes the card.

I die cut a large scalloped circle from the gorgeous Boughs of Holly dsp, placed it onto the Mint Macaron card front to get an idea for position then I stamped around it with a tree from the Trees For Sale stamp set and Mint Macaron ink.

A slightly smaller circle was die cut from the square of Basic White card.

I fussy cut one of the pretty poinsettias from the Boughs of Holly dsp and added it to the Basic White circle with liquid glue. The circles were then adhered together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Penguin Place stamp set was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the ¼” strip of Basic White card and the words cut apart and added with liquid glue to the circle.
