Nature Walk

For my card class this month, I chose to use Nature Walk, a new designer series paper pack.  It features the colors in nature and can be used for both masculine and feminine cards.

My first card uses Basic Beige for the background and Gathering Leaves embossing folder.  I cut out the focal point with the Arch Dies and added some light "grunge" to it.  I decided to use Very Vanilla cardstock instead of white, which I hardly ever do, but I like it in this card.

The strip along the bottom front is from Nature Walk and I cut out a leaf die from an older set called Artistic dies.  I love the woodsy nature look of this card.  

The next card uses a paper with a soft brown script on it which might be my favorite design in this paper pack.  I added a brown sprig cut out from the Gorgeously Made dies.  There's a little tan strip that's embossed to add embellishment and a circular saying to complete the card.  On this card, I used Very Vanilla for the saying.

This card uses Lost Lagoon as the card base and a sheet from the Nature Walk for the background.  I added a Peacock and a vellum rectangle for the focal points.  I cut the leaf and the sprig from Artistic dies.  I had some paper with copper accents in it so I used that for the sprig and then added a copper scalloped circle behind the saying to tie in the copper color.

I could make cards with Nature Walk all day, substituting different colors and cut outs.  

Stampin Up's paper supplies, dies and stamps just keep getting better and better.  The cards came out so beautiful.  I just love the creativity that Stampin Up gives to me.  

 

Perfectly Pears

Last week I had a chance to use the new online stamp set, Perfectly Pears.  Honestly, it stamps so well and the cards were really easy to make.  I saw the idea for this card from Gail Ellis.  I used the Stripe background stamp and then I embossed the pink and cut it with a die from Gorgeously Made, an older set.

I made a little "memo" using the paper ripped die from the same die set.  I love the collage look and how they came out.  :)

This card would look beautiful in some soft fall colors, as well.  

My second card is a front-opening.  I used papers from Celebratory Sips for the flower look and the soft colors.  Then I added the pear and some embellishments.  I like the colors of this card.

This one has more dots and embellishments and looks a bit busier than the first one.  I may have gotten carried away on this.  Lol

I was inspired to make this card from Elizabeth Price on Pinterest.  

The third card which is really different, is made using cut outs from the designer papers that coordinate with this set.  Surprisingly my stampers loved making this.  

The idea for this card is from the Stampin Up website.  

Everyone loved this card class, including me.  Which card do you like best?
