Nature's Poem Card Stack using Stampin' Up! products


 I am in love with the Nature's Poem suite! Look at those gorgeous colours, those soft natural images, and those amazing patterns! It is exactly my style and I was SO excited when I saw it. I just had to order the whole suite. (See it on p.142-144 of the Annual Catalogue)


The suite includes: a double stamp set (10 images + 6 sentiments), coordinating Framelit Dies, 4 colour Twine pack, Silver and Copper metallic leaf trinkets, Cardstock Pack, and the Designer Series Paper. Shop the products here. 


 I decided to make a whole stack of cards with the suite, using two basic designs. It is so easy to mix and match products and colours from the suite, that I was able to create several cards very easily. I chose to work with 4 different coulours (Tranquil Tide, Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede) but there are so many other beautiful colours in this suite!
For the card design above, I cut the DSP into a mat size (4 x 5-1/4) and for the card design below, I used a large strip of DSP (3 x 4-1/4). For the smaller strips, I just used the scraps and mixed the patterns. I fussy cut the sentiments and the tree ring, the other images were embossed and cut using the Big Shot and the dies.


And can we just take a second to celebrate the fact that Cajun Craze stayed in our core colour collection, but that it is also featured in this suite! I LOVE this colour but it hasn't been featured in many DSP in the past, so I'm very glad to be able to use it. Just see how pretty it looks with the other colours!


Cardstock & Ink: Tranquil Tide, Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
DSP: Nature's Poem
Stamp Set: Rooted in Nature
Other: Nature's Roots Framelit Dies, Big Shot, Leaves Trinkets, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Paper Snips

Working with a Suite - Stampin' Up! Products Coffee Break Suite (with Tutorial)

When you first discover the world of scrapbook and cardmaking, your first thought is probably, "Where was this all my life?" But also, "Where do I start?" I'll admit, it can be a little overwhelming, and you feel like you need to get SO MANY things before you can even make a card. And then, you are still not sure how to go about creating a card. I get it, I've been there. This is why I decided to offer a class for beginners a few weeks ago, where I would focus on some card basics.  This is one of two cards we made that night.

Stampin' Up! is really the champion of coordinating products, and all the products you see on this card are part of the same product suite Coffee Break. So really, you can look at only 2 pages of the catalogue, pick all the products that coordinate, and you just KNOW yo...
