Doodling with Debby: Simply Stamped Tropic Leaves
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the latest edition of Doodling with Debby starring the always fabulous Debby Hughes who made a super on-trend pair of beautiful cards that are really giving me those sunny day vibes! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!!
Hi, it’s Debby here for my monthly Doodling With Debby video feature here on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Today I’m all about the leaves with two cards based on the same design idea and both using the Tropical Leaves and Big Greetings 1 stamp sets.
Monstera leaves are proving to be particularly popular and trendy at the moment, be they the actual plant grown at home or used as in stationery, pattern design, and fabrics. There’s a lovely Monstera leaf in the Tropical Leaves set from Simon Says Stamp and I chose to pull out my green inks and get stamping! I picked Beanstalk Green, Green Leaf, Evergreen and Seafoam inks and used them to stamp four leaf images multiple times. I then used the matching dies to die cut the leaves.
For the sentiments, I used the Big Greetings 1 stamp set and stamped the sentiments on Slate card with Clear Embossing Ink, before sprinkling with White Embossing Powder and heat setting. I trimmed the sentiments to a banner and foam mounted them on a panel of white card cut with a Wonky Rectangle die.
With one card, I arranged the leaves spraying out from behind the banner and with the other card, I used the leaves coming in from the edges of the panel to frame the sentiment. In each case, I kept the leaves in place with foam adhesive.
I then attached the panels to top folding white card bases cut from Neenah Solar White 110lb weight card and embellished with Butterfly Kisses sequins. These cards were so simple to put together and yet I think they provide a big punch. Also, green is my favorite color and I’m always partial to a nice leaf!
Thanks for joining me today and I’ll see you next time for Doodling With Debby.

These cards are lovely! Great colors :)
Beautiful cards!
I have a lot of stamps that could work for this type of card. What a great idea.
Love the green!
Your cards just mentally transported me to tropical paradise, now I wish it was for real. Lovely cards.
Love all the different shades of green.
Love the tropics and this card! The variety of greens really makes each leaf pop.
Beautiful tropical themed cards. We have friends who live in Hawaii and I’m always looking for inspiration for cards for them. Thanks!
Lovely cards! Great colour choices.
After a beastly long winter, anything tropical is like heaven. I love them all and the greens are gorgeous. Nicely done.
Love the tropical leaf card and the great colors you used. Thanks for sharing…

Love these colours together!
I love how fresh the greens look on these cards, and the font on these sentiments is fantastic – I’m a big fan of these SSS sentiment sets! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Gorgeous card Debby, I love that you also used a 4e colour, the seafoam, it make it for me, more tropical. Thank you for your great tutorial.
Beautiful cards – those greens look fab together!
Cute cards.
I like these “leafy” cards. The bold sentiments are very effective. Great job, Debby
Pretty cards. I love the tropical leaves, reminds me of home. I already follow by email.
I just LOVE all this lush,vibrant green! All of these cards and products are just gorgeous and puts me in a tropical mood!
Beautiful cards and stamping, I love the colors!
Two fabulous cards!
Cool tropical cards!
Love these cards! Made me happy today!
These are gorgeous. They look like they were made from some really upscale wrapping paper. I love the colors you chose and that you used a dark grey strip instead of black for the sentiment. Thanks for sharing!
Such gorgeous cards. Love the colors.
All of the different hues of green blended into the leaves makes them look so natural.
Love the look of these cards. Great designs with one stamp set. Terrific!
This is such a pretty color combination!
Inspirational as always!! Love your work Debby. These greens are so refreshing and perfect for spring
delightful cards!
These cards are so gorgeous ! Love the color combo !!
These are lovely! I love leaves, and these card designs rock them. The leaf frame on the “congrats” card gives off a jungle vibe, which isn’t usually my thing, but it looks great here. I really like the cluster beneath the sentiment on the “hooray” card—something about the more airy feel there really appeals to me. The greens are so fresh and varied, they reawaken my desire to collect all the green inks!
Gorgeous cards … I’m actually doing a cross-stitch at the moment that features monstera leaves!!
i love the jungle feel of this and so relaxing with the tone on tone use of colors
Beautiful colours together x
Lovely cards! Such a fresh spring feel to them!
I love these cards so much! Reminds me of my home in Brazil!
