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

Using Up Scraps - Stampin' Up! products Pick a Pattern Suite

Making a card shouldn't always be complicated! Actually, I would say that my cards are usually the sweet & simple type, but that one goes beyond. In fact, I was just playing around with this paper (Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper) and I found a couple of scraps, left over from previous projects. I prepared a card base (I used Crushed Curry), stamped a sentiment form the coordinating stamp set (Emerald Envy), I punched it and added everything to the card. The more "advanced" part is the little bear that I added on top. I coloured him lightly with the AquaPainter (Sahara Sand) and fussy cut around the lines. I adhered all the pieces at an angle, making a cluster around the sentiment, and voila! I didn't even have to measure anything, and I just picked the colours that were featured on the DSP, so no guesswork there either. Coordinating products makes crafting SO easy, don't you think? What creative ways have you found to use leftovers on a project? I...
