Happy Wednesday! I’m continuing to share ideas using the Rooted In Nature Bundle. Let’s take a look at today’s card – it’s the first one I made with this bundle. It was actually the card that we made at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in April. The event was so much fun and we got our first look at the brand new catalog and a chance to play with some of the products. I’d love for you to join my team and come with me to the big 30 Year OnStage Celebration in April. A new sign up special is coming in July – and it’s a good one!

This card features a couple of the accessories that are part of the whole Nature’s Poem Suite of products. The Leaves Trinkets and the Nature’s Twine. The Leaves Trinkets are metallic leaves in both copper and silver that can be added to your creations – I used mini glue dots to add them to this card. Your going to love these trinkets so be sure to place a qualifying order (minimum order of $30 in products) this week and I’ll mail you a sample – use hostess code ETSM4PDT by June 30, 2018.

One of the colors included in the pack of Nature’s Twine is the Mint Macaron used on this card – additional colors are Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, and Grapefruit Grove. It seems like I’ve used some designs from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper on every card so far. On July 1st we will be starting a Designer Paper Sale and this one will be included! Tucked behind the stamped sentiment are stamped and die cut leaves, and the Leaves Trinkets.

I have another card to share today that uses the Rooted In Nature Bundle. Everyone that attended my Stampin’ Up! Catalog Kickoff event had the chance to make this card.

This card uses two more designs from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper. I cut Crumb Cake card stock with the 3-leaves die in the Nature’s Roots Framelits die set. There are also embossing dies in this set. For this card you want to cut the card stock first and then run it through the Big Shot with the Embossing dies. It creates a beautiful texture on the leaves. If you emboss first and then cut it will flatten out some of the embossed lines – at times you may want that look.

This week I’m planning to share ideas using the Rooted In Nature Bundle, it’s become one of my favorites. It’s part of the Nature’s Poem Suite of products in the new annual catalog. The Bundle includes the Rooted in Nature stamp set and the Nature’s Roots Framelits Dies. I’ve been using this stamp set a lot this month. I think you are going to love this bundle and how it will work for so many occasions including masculine cards which are always a struggle. It also pairs with well with the long time favorite set Lovely as a Tree – I’ve had that set longer than I’ve been a demonstrator!

The Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper has a variety of patterns and prints and used two of them on this card. I used two of the main colors from the paper – Tranquil Tide and Soft Suede. The tree ring behind the words is actually stamped in Crumb Cake and it’s stamped “off” – which means you ink it up and then stamp it first on scratch paper before stamping it on the card stock which creates a lighter version. I wanted it to be light for this card so I could stamp the words on top and they would stand out. Use your Paper Snips to fussy cut the tree ring for this card – it’s easy to cut out by hand.
Supply List
- Rooted in Nature Stamp Set
- Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set
- Natures’ Poem Designer Series paper
- Soft Suede card stock
- Tranquil Tide card stock
- Very Vanilla card stock
- Tranquil Tide ink
- Crumb Cake ink
- Soft Suede ink
- Paper Snips

I made this card for my dad for Father’s day. It would work for other occasions too – just leave off the World’s Best Father stamp or change it to something else. Itty Bitty greetings as a variety of phrases that could be used – happy birthday would be an easy substitution. Be sure to come back throughout the week and keep tabs on my Facebook page for more ideas with this bundle throughout the week.

The Share What You Love Suite of products was introduced back in May as an early release special from the new catalog. At that time there were three bundle options – but now you can purchase the pieces individually. One of the most popular pieces was the Designer Series Paper. It’s a specialty paper with a pearlized finish on 4 of the designs. This paper has handpainted designs on heavyweight sheets and its a double sized pack with 4 each of 6 double-sided designs. You can make a lot of beautiful projects with this paper.

This card features one of the pearlized designs along with the Love What You Do stamp set. The flowers were stamped next to the sentiment and then I used Stampin’ Blends to color them in so they would match the paper. Currently we only have the colors that were released at the beginning of the year. I used the light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends which is similar to some of the shading in the paper but not an exact match. The new colors should be available soon – we are just waiting on them to arrive in the warehouse.
Supply List
- Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Love What You Do stamp set
- Mint Macaron card stock
- Mossy Meadow card stock
