Ringed With Nature

Ringed With Nature is a carry over stamp set and embossing folder/dies. This bundle is one of my favorites from the fall mini catalog. I did work with it but not nearly as much as I would have liked and I'm so happy I get to play some more!

This set has some two-step stamping that makes it super simple to get more than one color on your card. The house was stamped with Night of Navy and the roof with Mint Macaron. The Silver Threaded Twine is thicker than I had thought it was. I did struggle a little to get it to wrap around the layers and stay there. 

Tahitian Tide

This post got lost in the mix of the other posts sitting in my queue waiting to be shared. I had thought I had shared my cards where I focused on the In Colors but clearly, I forgot to share the Tahitian Tide cards. I guess late is better than never so here we go!

The Rich Razzleberry card base helps the Tahitian Tide pop off the card. I stamped the swimming suits with Tahitian Tide, Rich Razzleberry, and Daffodil Delight.

Hydrangea Haven

Hydrangeas are such a beautiful flower. They are stunning while in bloom and even the dried blossoms are a joy to have around. I have 3 hydrangeas in front of my house and I look forward to them every year. The one year, the plant was very large but I only got 5 blooms on all 3 plants. So sad.

Hydrangea Haven allows me to have hydrangeas year round. I did purchase this bundle when it first came out. I made a card with it and then pushed it to the side. I'm not sure why I don't use my goodies when I get them and then once I play with them, I'm bummed I haven't used them more. I really need to break this pattern in my life. Any suggestions?

I used a blending brush to put some Balmy Blue onto a Basic White layer of cardstock. I tried to leave the center fairly light. The greeting was stamped with Gorgeous Grape. The blossom was colored with the stamp the fills in the bloom, I used Highland Heather and Balmy Blue inks.

Kindest Gnomes

I think I liked this set. It seems I have shared so many cards that I made with this set. These cards are not using the stamp set but the dies. The dies are still available online.

The base for this card is Poppy Parade. The designer series paper is called Storybook Gnomes. I die cut the gnome's hat from Pool Party, the shoes from Basic Black, the beard from Basic White, and the nose from Petal Pink.
