Two more of my favorite kits. There are still Mystery Boxes left!

My mystery boxes are selling well; be sure to grab yours while there are some left. *see below

I wanted to share two more of my favorite kits from our Kit Collection seen here.

First is a thank you kit called ‘Thank You Kindly’. It’s an elegant set of cards that are both special & easy to make.

They’re mostly white with gold foil accents & that stunning black pre-printed greeting. This is a non-stamping kit. It’s currently in low inventory so it will likely sell out soon. It’s just $14 and can be seen here.

Next is the gorgeous Harvest Home Garland that can also be made into a wreath. It would be great for your Thanksgiving table or used as a wreath.

Save

It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make mine. I even added some sponging/blending to the paper leaves (which wasn’t in the directions. It have everything you need except hot glue – recommended to attach the leaves to the rope. It’s so pretty and I love the non-traditional colors that still have an autumn look. See it in the store here.

  The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here. 

  Below is a photo of the entire suite of products.

  Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

• 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.

  Here's how I stamped the inside layer:
