Countless Trees Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

Continuing with my alphabet theme, last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the Countless Trees Stamp Set from the July-Dec Mini Catalogue.

If you have been with me for a while, you may notice a similarity with two previous stamp sets – Trendy Trees (from way back in 2009/2010) and Vertical Greetings (2016/2017).

Both of those stamp sets were firm favourites of mine at the time, so it will be no surprise that I’m quite fond of Countless Trees too!

In fact, this project is based on this Vertical Greetings Class project from six years ago.

For this project, I chose to make it as a card for anyone using Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake and Garden Green, along with Very Vanilla. It’s also a great project for an avid gardener.

Each pot was stamped first to create the spacing. Then, the trees were ‘built’ with the various trunks and tops. You can mix and match the components to make countless tree combinations.

A length of coordinating Baker’s Twine is wrapped across the project.

As the Countless Trees Stamp Set is images only, the sentiment comes from the Art Gallery Stamp Set.

The shape is cut out twice using the Stylish Shapes Dies. One is then cut in half and used as a backing layer. This sentiment piece sits on Dimensionals above the Twine.

Finally, some Solid Faceted Gems are applied to one of the trees to look like fruit.
