Elegant Texture & Botanical Beauty with Nature’s Symphony Bundle

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.

Grungy Gears & Textures – Card 3

On my Facebook live recently I wanted to include the dies from the Gears & Textures Bundle and so I created these Grungy Gears & Textures cards. I had so much fun creating these cards. The second card I’m sharing was just created on the fly without any real idea in mind except to use the die cuts I had pre-prepared.

How I created the card

I pulled out my blending brushes, some Nature Walk designer series paper and got to work on creating the card below. Roughing up the edges of the DSP and adding some ink. Sometimes I do things a bit backwards and I certainly did that on this card and glued the DSP onto the left side of the vanilla card before I started stamping. I started stamping the images and didn’t worry if it went over the dsp as well. I just kept going. Adding on the die cuts and also stamping the sentiment onto another piece of DSP and roughing that up as well plus of course adding some ink.

Once I finished stamping the background, adding the die cuts, I added some linen thread and then the sentiment with dimensionals to pop them up. The Secret Sea card base I added some ink around the edges of it and then glued the card front onto the card base. Stamping a piece of vanilla card for the insert and then I was done.

Grungy Gears & Textures Card 2

On my Facebook live recently I wanted to include the dies from the Gears & Textures Bundle and so I created these Grungy Gears & Textures cards. I had so much fun creating these cards. The second card I’m sharing was just created on the fly without any real idea in mind except to use the die cuts I had pre-prepared.

How I created the card

I pulled out my blending brushes some Nature Walk designer series paper and got to work on creating the card below. Roughing up the edges of the vanilla card and then inking up the edges with basic gray ink. Stamping images randomly on the card front in various colours. I added some linen thread around the centre of the card front and also added on the die cuts that I’d also added some basic gray ink to.

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of designer series paper to make it look worn, I then grabbed another piece of DSP and tore off the edge, scrunched it up and also added ink to it to give a good distressed look.

Once I finished stamping the background, adding the trim and all the die cuts, I added the sentiment with dimensionals to pop them up. The basic gray card base I added some ink around the edges of it and then glued the card front onto the card base. Stamping a piece of vanilla card for the insert and then I was done.

I’ll share the video of how I made these cards soon or you can check them out here. You can also check out some of my other cards that I’ve made using this stamp set here.

Grungy Gears & Textures

On my Facebook live recently I wanted to include the dies from the Gears & Textures Bundle and so I created these Grungy Gears & Textures cards. I had so much fun creating these cards. The first card I’ll share with you was inspired by Rochelle Blok back from March 2019. She used a different stamp set but is similar to the gears & textures set that we have and pulling in the Nature Walk DSP make it so much easier to create with.

How I created the card

I pulled out my blending brushes and got to work on creating the card below. Roughing up the edges of the designer series paper to make it look worn, I then added early espresso ink as I wanted a dark colour but not black. Using the blending brushes, I added additional colour to the die cuts as well to darken them. They almost look black. Stamping the images onto the DSP adds another layer of to the card.

Once I finished stamping the background I started layering up the die cuts and then looked for something to stamp on for the sentiment. I know vanilla or white wasn’t going to work on such a dark card so I chose a piece of dsp from the Nature walk pack and again roughed up the edges, stamped the sentiment in early espresso ink and also added some pretty peacock ink to the sentiment piece to darken it up but I knew I didn’t want it to be too dark. Adding the black and gold bakers twine onto the back and another die cut to the back and I attached the sentiment with dimensionals.

Inside the card I added a piece of vanilla cardstock and stamped a couple of images on that before gluing into the card. I’ll share the video of how I made these cards soon or you can check them out here. You can also check out some of my other cards that I’ve made using this stamp set here.

Gears & Textures – Masculine part 2

Recently on my Facebook Live I created with the Gears & Textures Stamp Set. You can see other cards I created with this set here. After the first three cards I created I wanted to change it up a bit and using the masking technique I got to work and used a post it note to cover over a section of the card. I then proceeded to stamp the images randomly over the card, overlapping the post it. Using blending brushes and Old Olive ink I added some ink over the card front.

Once I’d finished stamping and adding ink I peeled back the post it to reveal my card and then stamped my sentiment in the blank space. Then layered each card front onto coordinating card stock. Really #simplestamping cards for you to recreate with a bonus masking technique thrown in.

Gears & Textures – Masculine

Recently on my Facebook Live I created with the Gears & Textures Stamp Set. You can see other cards I created with this set here. I chose to create some simple stamping cards which can be easily duplicated. I had used the inspiration from Crafty Rootes in the UK to create my first card. That was enough of a spring board to get me doing the next card and then the next and so on. It was great to be able to just create and to continue to get the creatively flowing so easily just with copying one card but changing up the colours.

Changing up the colours from the original design that I saw, I created the first card with the long images stamped diagonally on the page alternating the colours. On the insert I stamped the long images again on an angle which helped me jump to the next card. Having the images diagonally from either end and then stamping in the centre changes the card. And on the insert I stamped the images up and down which led me to my third card in this set. I chose to stamp the images from top to bottom on one side with the sentiment stamped at he bottom right of the card. Then layer each card front onto coordinating card stock. Really #simplestamping cards for you to recreate.

Gears & Textures

I have finally sat down to do some fun creating with brand new products. Pulling out the Gears & Textures stamp set from the brand new January to April Mini Catalogue, I got to searching for inspiration. The place I normally go for inspiration is to Marelle Taylor, my lovely upline. She ran Stamp a stack classes for years and years till Covid hit. So I go and check out her projects to see how I can use the layout or colours or both to create new projects using current product.

I chose this post of Marelle’s from March 2018. I had to change up the colours to current ones as a couple had retired. So I used Summer Splash to replace Bermuda Bay & then chose Blueberry Bushel to replace Pacific Point.

I used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder for the background layer – one on each card. And then used the Three Banner Punch and the Wishing You Joy stamp set for the sentiment. The Lemon Lime Twist sentiment was punched out of the Lemon Lime Twist layer that is under the stamped images to save on cardstock. Its a great trick on using card without it impacting the visual of the card as the punched out part is completely covered. Rotating each card adds a different look to the cards as well.
