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

Prized Plant birthday card

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.
