An easy card with Prairie Grass & Thoughtful Journey

July 30, 2025

Here’s the last card I shared on last week’s video – all three featured the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it’s available.

I stamped it onto a piece of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. Then I cut it into 3/4″ strips before adhering it onto the Black CS layer and then the White card base.

You might wonder where the layered greeting shape is from. I used the To the Point punch with a 3/4″ strip of DSP like this:

Tip: Insert your paper through the back of the punch like you see above. Notice it’s not through the side; but inserted into the back area. Once you do both ends and you’re happy with the length of it, adhere it to a Black strip 1″ wide and punch both ends to layer evenly.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Print or download it by clicking on this link: Download Prairie Grass scene

And here’s the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.
