Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today iis the big day for the opening of the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’m using the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle with the Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for a Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a panel of Pebbled Path grid Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with liquid glue. I cut the side of another panel of the DSP with the notebook die and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. The cool thing about this pattern is that the script is written in both directions, so you don’t need to worry about it being upside down!

I stamped the field notes stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Pecan Pie panel. I stamped the sprig over the notes and cut it out with the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the leaf cluster three times in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored the leaves with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. I stamped the flower twice using Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with Petal Pink and light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the leaves and flowers with the coordinating dies.

I adhered two die cut leaf clusters to the die cut circle with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Soft Sea Foam and used the short fat banner die from the Stylish Shaped dies to cut it out in two steps. I adhered the label to the circle with dimensionals and adhered the decorated circle to the card with dimensionals. I made a loopy bow with linen thread and adhered it to the card with a glue dot and popped one of the die cut flowers over it with dimensionals and a glue dot. I finished the front with Pebbled Path dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the grid from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set several times using twice stamped off Pebbled Path ink on Basic White.  I adhered the last die cut leaves and flowers together with liquid glue and adhered it to the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle is a wonderful set with pretty images and sentiments and great dies. The Nature’s Sweetness is absolutely gorgeous with the gold foil touches. Both of these products will also work well with other flower and animal stamp sets to fill out your Nature’s Journal.
