Hello Honey Bee friends! Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Friendship Ladder stamps and Honey Cuts that’s from the brand new Modern Spring release! I’ve staged my ladder full of plants and even added a couple of plants from the previously released Happy Plants set. Read on for the details!

First I stamped all of my images from the Friendship Ladder and Happy Plants stamp sets in Intense Black ink.  I colored them with my Copic markers and then used the coordinating Friendship Ladder and Happy Plants Honey Cuts to cut them out.

Next I selected some patterned paper from the Modern Spring paper pad and trimmed it to 4″ x 5-¼”.  I trimmed another piece of paper to ¾” x 4″.  Then I adhered them to a top-folding A2 card base.

I played around with the ladder and images, and once I decided on an arrangement, I used Bee Creative glue to adhere them to the ladder.  Before adhering the ladder, I decided where I wanted the large plant to go and adhered it with glue leaving the top leaves without glue.  Then I added foam strips to the back of the ladder and adhered it to the card.  I slipped the ladder under one of the larger leaves for a bit more interest.  I popped up the other plant and water bucket with foam squares.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Friendship Ladder set in Intense Black ink and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I added foam strips to the back to pop it up on my card.

There is also a wonderful set of coordinating envelopes in this release.  I’ve added one of the envelopes from the Modern Spring Envelope set to these last photos to give you a peak.

I think this is a wonderful card to send to a very special plant-loving friend! There are lots of other cute images in the Friendship Ladder set that you can use to create a different theme too!
