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.

  • A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet


    I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.  

    It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month.  The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here.  It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set. 

    You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it.  Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

    My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.  After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders. 

    That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here.  It's currently in low inventory though.  

    We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color. 

    Below you'll find the video; please be sure to follow me on my YouTube Channel here too.  I share one every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT on my Facebook page.

  • More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team


    This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team. 

    First up today is an adorable card made by Candy.  She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog. 

    I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White.  It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background.  The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp. 

    She added tons of layers and textures here!  From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments.  So much detail!! 

    Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set. 

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen. 

    Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

    This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year.  They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell. 

    ~~~

    Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card.  Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla. 

    There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!
