Good morning stampers! It’s Card Swap Thursday, and today’s card features different products from the Nature’s Poem Suite, including the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature’s Roots Framelits.
Diana Langham created a friendship card with a soothing colour palette. Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, Tranquil Tide, and copper embossing powder give the card a masculine look. Adding the pop of Powder Pink changes the card, giving it a feminine look. Powder Pink is such a pretty colour!
This card swap took place last fall, and all the demonstrators followed the same card map to create our designs. The map called for a lot of layers, and it was interesting to see how each demonstrator interpreted it. Here’s a closeup of Diana’s layers:
She embossed two of the panels, adding Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper under the third. All are glued direct to the card base. The remaining layer was die cut and popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals. One of the leaves was also popped with Dimensionals.
The overall layer really draws your eye to the left side of the card, but the Rhinestones that you can see in the card above keep the card from being too heavy on the one side.
We’ve been so focused on holiday projects, that it’s easy to forget about stamps from the Annual Catalogue. When I pulled this card from my ‘cards to post’ basket, my first thought was “I need to pull this set back out”. ALL of our stamps and dies need love, not just the newest to the block.
You may or may not remember that you can purchase the Rooted in Nature stamps and Nature’s Roots Framelits as a bundle, saving 10% off of both. This card only uses the stamps, so you’ll only find the stamps on the supply list below, not the whole bundle.
Don’t forget that it’s Sale-a-Bration time! The stamps are $57 (before tax/shipping), so you only need to add some Linen Thread to your order to take it over $60, and earn a FREE Sale-a-Bration item! Or, if you purchase the bundle ($99), you can add the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper and Linen Thread, and choose TWO FREE Sale-a-Bration items!
Sale-a-Bration products can be found HERE. Pick up your paper copy of the brochure at our Open House on January 19th. Unable to make it? Send me a quick e-mail and I’ll get it to you as soon as I can.
When placing your Online Order, don’t forget to add the January Host Code (N2UNSWS2) to receive a free Project Guide Tutorial Pack at the end of the month. See my Online Rewards Program here. If your order is over $200 (before tax/shipping), choose the Stampin’ Rewards instead!
Today’s the day that I’m FINALLY going to take down the rest of my Christmas decorations. Wish me luck! Enjoy your day, and email if you have questions. Happy stamping!
