Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial


I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

More Details:

  • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
  • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
  • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  • Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!


    Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts.  She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!  

    I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card.  The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows! 

    She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.

  • The Pretty Pumpkins bundle slipped right by me!


    I regret not ordering the Pretty Pumpkins set after seeing what my friend Marilyn made with it.  Look at these gorgeous images!

    She made them for my New Catalog launch last week. I think they're simply beautiful and that greetings font is beautiful!! 

    She made 3 cards for our display and this is the second one.  I'll share the last one soon.  

    The pretty paper is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper.  I believe she used the baby wipe technique for the left pumpkin.  For the right one she added Wink of Stella to the die-cut pumpkin.  

    Again; look at the stunning font on this fabulous greeting.  I have so many friends I'd give this card to!  

    My Online BOGO is today!  Click here on my FB page and go to media/photos/BOGO album to see everything available through August 14th.  If you have a list of current Stampin' Up! items you want to buy why not double dip and get lots more free?!

  • Peaceful Cabin card; easier than I thought!!


    Tomorrow is an exciting day!  The Holiday AND the 2nd  Sale-a-Bration catalogs go live tomorrow.  Tuesday August 3rd you can now order from them. 

    *If you do not have a demonstrator or either of these catalogs contact me and I'll send you them.  

    I wanted to have a sample of this pretty bundle at my Holiday Catalog Launch party last week so I had a play with it.  I was so surprised on how easy it is to create with! 

    I stamped everything in Smoky Slate for a soft look. The card front is mostly two pieces.  The trees were stamped on the upper part of a 5 1/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White card stock.  The cabin and greeting were stamped on the same size piece.   

    Then I used the cabin edge die to cut the silhouette of it.  I adhered the tree layer to the Basic Gray card stock first.  Then added the cabin layer with dimensionals.  I added a few silver foil trees to the side; these are also dies in this set. 

    Remember you can order this bundle tomorrow Tuesday, August 3rd here. 

    Join me for my FB Live BOGO Sale tomorrow at 11 am CT here.
