GSF May Blog Hop Flowers and Leaves

Welcome to the GSF May Blog Hop as we create projects with the theme of flowers and leaves. With Spring in full bloom, it seems like the perfect time to share ideas to help inspire you with your own projects. I hope that our creations will help spark your creativity.

 Today I thought I would create a card that would be great for a variety of occasions and would also be perfect as a masculine card. I decided to focus on the Leaves part of this month's theme and used products from the Nature's Poem Suite of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. I love that Stampin' Up!'s Suites provide us with a wide variety of products to help us create our projects without having to stress about what works best together. My card design was inspired by a card created by fellow demonstrator, Georgia Giguere and I just loved the peaceful feeling of her design.

 I chose to use Shaded Spruce cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock that I embossed using the Woodland Embossing Folder (item #139673). I gently sponged the embossed areas with Crumb Cake Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber to add dimension to the background.
I stamped the tree image from the Rooted in Nature stamp set (item #146482) using Shaded Spruce Classic ink for the tree top and Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker for the tree trunk. 

To create the stamped panel, I took a strip of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the tree trunk image with Soft Suede Classic ink and the sentiment with Shaded Spruce Classic ink. I added a strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock to the top of the panel and a strip of designer series paper from the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper pack (item #146338) to the bottom of the panel.
I attached the panel to the card front and then added the stamped tree image with Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the card, I used a small deer die cut with the Detailed Deer Dies (item #147915) from Copper Foil. I attached it to the panel with Snail Adhesive at the base of the tree.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own projects using the products from the Nature's Poem Suite in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Being able to create with products that coordinate takes the stress out of being creative and makes it a lot more fun too. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.

    Wonderful Card Tricia! It's a great man card too. It's nice to have a deer to add to it as well, considering where we live.

    Nice card. Guess I will need to learn to work with Rooted in Nature now that Lovely as a Tree is finally retiring.

      Thank you Lisa. I think that Rooted in Nature will be a wonderful option to replace Lovely as a Tree but they also work well together so we can have the best of both worlds. :)

    Great card and the composition really showcases the products. I would never have thought to combine the dear with Rooted in Nature - genius! Thanks for sharing x
