Simple monotone card – Paradise Garden

Simple monotone card – Paradise Garden. I don’t often use Blueberry Bushel but these were the colours in the Garden Poetry 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Papers. Paradise Garden is a bundle comprising a stamp set and coordinating dies which form part of the Garden Poetry Suite Collection – a March 2026 Online exclusive.

Thank you card

I’ve created a really quick easy card with a bit of embossing, minimal layers using the DSP in the suite and an embossing folder called *”All in a Row” (retired). This requires Plate 1 and a pair of plates 3. I used Blueberry Bushel plus Basic White card stock and as a finishing touch, I used the Garden Epoxy Dots.

* All in a Row has retired. Unfortunately I didn’t realise at the time, so substitute for any embossing folder you have in your stash.
