Nature's Sympathy

The Last Chance Products Sale begins today and the products are available while supplies last.

Today I am again using a mix of current and retired products on my card, I often get rid of many of my retired items, but there are some that I just do not want to part with and the Nature's Harvest stamp and die set is one I kept.

In the background, I have part of a cork sheet - this material is so easy to cut and work with - I wish we still had it in our catalogs! The frame that comes next is made with Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper and the Darling Details dies (they will be retiring).

The flowers were stamped with the Nature's Harvest stamp set and Memento Black ink, then colored in with Stampin' Write markers and die cut with the matching die. The sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set.

Supplies:

Nature's Harvest, Something Fancy

Memento Black, Old Olive ink

This time of year (shipping seed potatoes and planting), I don't find a lot of extra time to create projects as often as I like.  That means I will likely not share too many projects using the new catalog items for awhile, but I will do my best. There may be days I completely miss too, but if that is the case, I will be back when things settle down a bit!

The focal point of this card was actually just printed on the card stock - I had used this piece for another project in a class I taught and had a few of them leftover. 

The background is a piece of Dry Brushed Metallic paper with two layers of die cuts made with the Scalloped Contours dies on top. The flowers were stamped and die cut using the Nature's Harvest Bundle and colored in with Stampin' Write markers.

I have a niece and a nephew that are graduating from high school this spring and I always give thank you cards for them to use as part of their gifts. This is one of the cards I put together for my niece.

Nature's Harvest

When I made a few or these cards using the Nature's Harvest stamp set, I left them free of sentiments knowing that I would eventually want to add something depending on the occasion I decided to use them for. 

Recently I used one for Mother's Day and added a sentiment inside the card instead of on the front. 

The designer series paper is from the Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper pack that was a Sale-a-bration product recently and behind the top layer of the card I added half of a Heart and Home doily. The accents are polished dots.

Today I wanted to get away from the Paper Pumpkin posts and show you a home décor piece I put together recently using the Harvest Meadow Suite collection. 

I began with a piece of distressed wood that I purchased at a craft store and began adding die cut pieces made using the Harvest Dies.  The flowers were stamped first with Memento Black ink before being cut out and colored with Stampin' Write markers.

I printed the sentiment on some Crumb Cake card stock and then die cut it with the Scalloped Contours dies. The layer beneath it is cut with the same set.

Watercolor Harvest

This is a simple card that pairs the Nature's Harvest and Watercolor Shapes stamp sets.  It will be one I use for a card class coming up in November at a crafting retreat and I wanted to make it work for more than one level of card making skill.

August Stamp Club Projects

For our Stamp Club projects this month, we used quite a few items from the mini catalog and Sale-a-bration - lots of designer series paper too.

The first card features the Nature's Cabin stamp set, Be Dazzling 6 x 6 specialty paper (SAB 2021) and Whimsey and Wonder designer series paper.  We also added a little shimmer with the Wink of Stella glitter brush.

Next, we used the Scalloped Contours dies, Nature's Harvest and Watercolor Shapes stamp sets and some Beautifully Penned designer series paper (SAB 2021) for an all occasion card.

And finally a simple layout that can be adjusted for any purpose using the Harvest Meadow designer series paper and coordinating card stock colors.
