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

January 29, 2024

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:

Save

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.

Jar of Flowers shaker card

June 8, 2020

I'm sure many of you have seen cards made with this pretty Jar of Flowers bundle seen here. It's one of our reversible stamps; you get the outline and the solid jar on one stamp! It's only $36.75 for the bundle. I know it's going to be a go to set for many of us. I have lots of ideas with this set and I love that it comes with Mason Jar Shaker Domes!

Save

I just had to try making a jar filled with water & beads! When I bring flowers into the house from the garden that's usually how I display them.

Save

Mine is filled with clear hand sanitizer (I had it right beside me) and our new Flowers for Every Season gems. And with my method the sanitizer does not leak out onto the card stock!

I stamped the flowers in Soft Suede and colored them in with Blends markers – Daffodil combo, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron. I added the ribbon in two different ways. On the left I secured it behind the dome. On the right I adhered the cut ends on the dome. You can see how I did both on the video below.

Save

I hope you take time to watch it; you'll get tips on making a liquid filled shaker card and on coloring with the Blends too.

Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

June 5, 2020

I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder. I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been. People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too! I LOVE hearing this!

So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.

The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side. Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown. Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines.

The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

Save

You can see part of the template under the cards here:

For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.

The pdf tutorial is now available here.
