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.

    I shared this card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also part of my October kit to go and PDF tutorial as well.  It's unique and truly shows off our double sided designer paper! 

    Can you see how it opens? The left panel opens up to reveal another flap that also opens. This Cherry Cobbler layer is scored to allow a gift card to be inserted in the pocket.  If you don't need one, just adhere it down or trim it off.

    When I saw this new kit called Alpine Air I just knew it would be beautiful!

It includes everything you need – a greetings stamp set, Misty Moonlight ink spot, adhesives, gems, card layers, envelopes and a clear block. 

    All of the kits in our Kit Collection (28 of them!) are discounted!  Click here to see all 28 kits. 

    This kit was $22 and is now $19.80 and you can see it here.   

    These beautiful cards remind me of our trip to the Grand Tetons, Wyoming last month. And also our trip to Norway last year! 

    Guess what!?  The Expressions of Kindness kit is back in stock!!  It's been out of stock for over a month. It's one of my very favorite kits and it's also discounted. click here to see it.

  • Sunshiny Happiest Day card with measurements plus more ideas in the video


    I had a blast creating with the Happiest Day stamp set. I shared two more cards in my previous blog posts. 

    Today's project is what I'm calling a 'Sunshiny' card. 

    I chose my color scheme from the Full of Life designer paper I used on the background – Petunia Pop, Balmy blue & Summer Sun.  Of course I added Black for the contrast I like.  

    I thought the Postage Dies were a great way to layer the elements here.  Below is the inside view of this card:

    I added a zig-zag of the Iridescent Striped ribbon under the greeting for the 'glitter' effect. 

    See this adorable Happiest Day stamp set here. 

    Here are the measurements; but you can see the other two cards I made on the video here. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • White postage die-cuts 1 1/2" X 2 3/8", large is 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
    • Black 1 5/8" X 2 1/2", large is 3 3/8" X 4 5/8"
    • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4"

    Check out the video below; I share two more sweet cards for the Happiest Day stamp set.
