This All Occasion Card with the Grow With Love Bundle by Stampin’ Up! is a perfect way to send a thoughtful message with a timeless botanical design. Using soft blues and greens, this card captures the beauty of nature in a simple yet elegant style. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, sending well wishes, or just letting someone know you care, this versatile card works for any occasion.
The Grow With Love Bundle features the Distinktive Grow With Love Stamp Set with the coordinating Grow With Love Dies for stunning detail and effortless layering. The realistic herb images create a fresh, organic feel, while the die-cut silhouettes add depth and dimension without overwhelming the design. With a soft color palette, this card embraces a natural, peaceful aesthetic that makes it a joy to create and give.
Keeping this card simple allows the delicate details of the stamped images and dies to shine. While the bundle includes a seed packet die for creative gift packaging, this card focuses on the botanical elements, letting the herbs take center stage.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Pool Party cardstock in half at the score line to create the card base.
- Adhere one of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- On the other piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock, stamp the frame using Soft Sea Foam ink. Stamp the Rosemary image onto the White cardstock using Lemon Lime Twist ink. Ink and stamp again onto the White cardstock, leaving enough room around the image for die-cutting.
- Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, die=cut out all 3 images using the Grow With Love Dies from the Bundle.
- On the front of the card, stamp the frame image in the upper left corner of the card front using Lemon Lime Twist ink. Reink the stamp and stamp again in the lower right corner of the card front.
- Using the die-cut Basic White frame, sponge Pool Party ink in the upper half of the frame using a small Blending Brush. Using another Brush, sponge Soft Sea Foam ink in the lower half of the frame. Stamp the sentiment onto the frame as shown in the sample using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Adhere to the front center of the card.
- Adhere the 2 die-cut Rosemary images so that they slightly overlap and glue together. Tie some White Baker’s Twine around the stems and die into a bow.
- To finish, adhere the Rosemary to the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A Tip from Barb
I labeled this project a Worker Bee card because I used the Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to die-cut the label and the herb image. But if you don’t have access to the dies or a die-cut machine, these images are easy to cut out with the Paper Snips Scissors for a quick & easy Busy Bee card. 😊
