Nature Happiness

 

Thanks to Tracy Elsom and her lovely masculine card... I drew inspiration from it to create one of my own for my Dad. Thanks so much Tracy. I changed a few things to make the card my own, but kept the monochromatic feel to the card.

I found Amy Koenders card on facebook and knew I'd be making something similar one day. Well, today's the day! I changed many things on my card to make it my own, but wanted to share where I got my inspiration! Thanks Amy!

I used the 'Sweetly Scripted' stamp set for the sentiment. The papers are from the 'Nature's Poem' Designer Series Paper pack. The circle die is from the 'Spotlight on Nature' dies.

Moments In Nature

I need a lot of masculine cards for July birthdays, so the 'Rooted In Nature' stamp set comes in handy. It's a very woodsy... masculine set. Although, I have made several feminine cards with the set too.

I combined this stamp set with the sentiment from 'Peaceful Moments' set and the DSP from 'Nature's Poem'.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Painted Pines

With each stamp set I purchase, I sometimes look to see if there's an unusual way to use the stamp/image/shape. With the 'Christmas Pines' stamp set... you would think that you could only use it for pinecones. Well, I noticed that the image sort of looked like a pineapple too. So, I thought to make a cute card using the image as a pineapple.

For the greenery for the pineapple, I used the leaf stamp in the 'Painted Harvest' stamp set.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Christmas Pines, Painted Harvest, Birthday Banners
Ink - Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green
Paper - Pineapple Punch, Whisper White, Nature's Poem DSP
Accessories - Big Shot, Pretty Pines Thinlits, Bunch of Banners Framelits, dimensionals, Stitched Square Framelits (non-SU)

 

Better In Nature

Using some new sets again from Stampin' Up! This time, it's the 'Rooted In Nature' stamp set with it's coordinating framelits - 'Nature's Roots' , and the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up! makes things easier to coordinate with it's new suite sets - Designer Series Papers that match/go with a stamp set. Although, you do not have to use them together... they can be used separately too.

Something interesting within the 'Nature's Roots' framelits, there are 3 dies that only emboss images. These three have a corresponding framelit to cut them out if desired. Pretty cool! As you can see, I used the embossed thinlit with the framelit for the dark leaf.

Thank for taking a peek!
