One Last Nature Walk

 

I had intended to share these cards before Nature Walk retired, but my crazy schedule this spring didn't allow that to happen!  So... here are my last two Nature Walk shares.

 

 

I used Very Vanilla card stock for the birdcage image and applied the Crumb Cake ink pad directly to the paper before I stamped the image in Early Espresso.

 

Supplies:

Nature Walk

Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla card stock

Crumb Cake, Early Espresso ink

Silver button

Linen thread

Scallop edge punch

Print Poetry dsp

 

God's Blessings

 

The stamp set used on this card is retired, but I keep going back to the sentiments.  It is called God's Blessings and I paired it with some Print Poetry dsp and the Lacy Brocade folder. 

 

 

I cut a piece of floral trim and added it as an accent as well.

 

Supplies:

God's Blessings

Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla card stock

Early Espresso classic ink

flower trim

Lacy brocade folder

 

Buttterfly birthday

I had made this card for a challenge last week and didn't get it posted so I thought I would share it anyway.  It was for Mary Jo's sketch challenge...

 

 

I used some Print Poetry dsp for one layer and the smaller butterfly.  The larger butterfly is cut from First Edition specialty paper and I put some Midnight Muse on the edges with a marker.

 

Supplies:

Sassy Salutations

Gumball Green, Midnight Muse classic ink

Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla card stock

Print Poetry dsp

Beautiful Butterflies die

Basic pearls

 

Vintage Verse Butterfly

The card I have for you today uses some Print Poetry dsp behind a tag from the Two Tags die.  I used the 1 1/4" and 7/8" scallop circle punches on the tag so the dsp would show through.

 

 

The elegant butterfly was also punched from from the same dsp stack.

 

The background is the Distressed Dots stamp with Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake card stock. 

 

Supplies:

Vintage Verses, Distressed Dots

Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake ink

Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler card stock

Natural 7/16" trim ribbon

7/8" and 1 1/4" scallop circle punches

elegant butterfly punch

Two Tags die

basic pearls

Print Poetry dsp stack

Kindness

 

The sentiment on this card is from my favorite retired set called Occasional Quotes.  I added an image from Serene Silhouettes and some Print Poetry dsp.

 

 

The background is Cherry Cobbler embossed with the Honeycomb folder and I have also used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card stock.

Miracles Happen

 

Another Sale-a-bration preview today using the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set. 

 

 

I added some Print Poetry dsp stack paper, a vintage trinket and some natural 7/16" trim ribbon to complete the card.

 

Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla and Gumball Green were my colors on this one.

And one more...

 

Another card using the Vintage Verses stamp set...I promise the next one will be done with a different set!

 

 

I paired the labels collection framelit with the sentiment this time and added some Print Poetry dsp, lace from the Artisan Embellishment kit and embossing with the honeycomb folder.

 

 

Feel Good and Blog Candy

This card includes some more sneak peek items from the Occasions Mini catalog.  I used the Feel Goods stamp set along with the Print Poetry Designer Series paper stack and Artisan Embellishments kit. 

 

 

The embossing folder is the Lacy Brocade folder and will be carried over into the Occasions Mini catalog from the Holiday one.

 

The button is from the Artisan Embellishments Kit - I wish there were more of each item in this kit - love it!

 

On the inside I added a little strip of the same designer series paper for fun.

We have reached 100,000 hits and I am going to take entries for Blog Candy until January 2nd.  What do you need to do to get entered?  Just comment on any post since this one and I will put you in the drawing!

Baby Hands

 

I wanted to use the Cloudy Day folder with the Baby Prints stamp set and I found some great dsp papers in the Print Poetry Designer Series paper stack  to complete the card.

 

 

For the baby girl card, I used Primrose Petals and for the baby boy one I used Marina Mist. 

 

Supplies:

Baby Prints

Marina Mist, Primrose Petals classic ink

Very Vanilla, Primrose Petals, Midnight Muse card stock

Print Poetry dsp stack
