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:

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.

Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

June 4, 2020

Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far. The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive! That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image. Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here. That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.

If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go! Click here to order. Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow!

I hope you watch my quick video below to learn the tips to make a card like this.

Crafters are always ready for new products, right? Even if you think you there will always be more that you 'need'! It's not hoarding or collecting if you actually use it, right?

Hopefully you have your new catalog now. If you do not have a local demonstrator let me know if you'd like one; they cost just $5 for shipping to you. You can see all of the new products here online.

Here's a card I made using all 5 of the beautiful new 2020-22 In Colors:

The card base is Misty Moonlight and the three 1 1/4" strips are Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Cinnamon Cider. I added the greeting die-cuts in White and Bumble Bee. These pretty die-cuts are from the Tasteful Labels dies on page 179; they're awesome and one of my favorites I've used a ton.

For my long distance customers I'm holding a Virtual New Catalog Party Wednesday evening from 6-9 here on Facebook.  I'm so excited about this; it's the first time I've held one!
