The Planted Paradise Stamp Set is a Reversibles stamp stamp set, which means that it includes specialized photopolymer stamps that allow you to stamp with both sides of the stamp for greater versatility. With one stamp, you can create detailed outlines and then flip it to add a full, rich color fill.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Highland Heather cardstock in half and burnish well with your Bone Folder.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the Gorgeous Grape cardstock to the front of the card base.
- Adhere the various sizes of the detailed leaves from the Planted Paradise Stamp Set to one block, adding space in-between each one. Ink up using the Highland Heather ink pad and stamp onto the 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp again without reinking. Repeat process if necessary.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Softly Sophisticated Stamp Set onto the 2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Black Memento ink. Run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine using the 1-1/2″ x 2-1/8″ Nested Essentials Die.
- Adhere the sentiment tag to the left side of card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals – center on the ribbon.
- To finish, add 2 of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems onto the sentiment tag as desired.
A Tip from Barb
This card is actually super simple and the only reason I classified it as a Worker Bee card is because of the sentiment tag done with the Nested Essentials Dies and the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
To turn this into a Quick & Easy Busy Bee card, simple cut the Basic White cardstock for the sentiment to 1-1/2″ x 2″ and you’ll be good to go!
