Bold Botanicals & Contrast Using Nature’s Symphony Masculine Card

Posted on February 15, 2026 by sharon

This card shows a slightly bolder side of the Nature’s Symphony Bundle creating this Masculine Card, with stronger contrast and a deeper colour palette. The layered leaves really pop against the darker background, creating a striking yet still elegant design.

Nature’s Symphony masculine card

I love how versatile this bundle is—you can go soft and subtle or rich and dramatic, all with the same stamps and dies. Adding the use of blending brushes always adds a dramatic effect on your designs.

This card would work beautifully as a masculine card or for anyone who loves strong, nature-inspired designs.

🎥 Watch the video below to see how I built up the layers and created contrast without overpowering the design.

Elegant Texture & Botanical Beauty with Nature’s Symphony Bundle

Posted on February 9, 2026 by sharon

This card really highlights how beautifully the Nature’s Symphony Bundle works with texture. The embossed background paired with the detailed leaf images creates a gorgeous balance of soft and bold elements. Another card I created with this bundle is here.

I kept the layout clean and uncluttered so the leafy focal point could truly shine. A simple sentiment finishes it off perfectly—sometimes less really is more.

This design would be perfect for a thank-you card, thinking-of-you card, or even a sympathy card depending on the sentiment you choose.

🎥 I’ve shared the full process in the video below, including tips for layering and placement all using the Nature’s Symphony Bundle.

Gears & Textures – Part 2

Posted on January 17, 2026 by sharon

For my third & forth Stamp-a-Stack cards using the Gears & Textures Stamp Set, I kept with the same layout but changed up the embossing folders and switched the colours to keep things fairly clean and simple while still letting the textures and layers do the talking. I love cards that look detailed but are actually very achievable to recreate — perfect for a class setting. The embossing folders I used were Exposed Brick & the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing folders

One of my favourite things about this design is how easily it could be adapted. Change the sentiment, swap out the colours, or add a little embellishment, and you suddenly have a card suitable for lots of different occasions. This is exactly the kind of versatile design I love including in a Stamp-a-Stack — something you can confidently recreate again and again at home.

All the products I used for these cards are listed below, along with a photo so you can see the details up close.

Gathering Moments Christmas

Posted on October 13, 2025 by sharon

Last week I decided to play with the Gathering Moments Stamp set like I did the week before on my Facebook Live. However this time I wanted to create some Christmas cards instead. I decided to do similar to last week creating a 4 Square project. Stamping in the shape of a cross on an A4 Card stock piece and then chopped it down from there. I then started creating with some blues as well.

What do you think? Which card do you like the best?

Layering Leaves

Posted on June 10, 2023 by sharon

I am loving the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper and wanted to use it again during my Facebook Live last week and paired with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set.

I have used the 4 Square Technique for 4 of the cards and then paired the stamp set with the Inked Botanicals DSP. Layering Leaves and the Inked Botanicals paper pair so very well together.
