Happy Sunday, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! I actually got some grocery shopping done yesterday – me and about a million other folks! What WAS I thinking going to Sam’s and Costco on Saturday?!? 😳🤦♀️. Guess I was thinking I did NOT want to go TODAY!!
My card today is one that eased me right back into my wheelhouse – torn edges, foliage, vintage-y layers, bows and bling. I used the Notes of Nature bundle – one of my fave things ever! – and some Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one was inspired by the Global Design Project sketch – tilt your head…
And the colors are from the Color Throwdown challenge.
I started by stamping the front of my Crumb Cake card base with Crumb Cake dots – using the image in the Notes of Nature stamp set.
Next, I cut out four Crumb Cake leaves using the die in the Notes of Nature set. Then, using Liquid Glue, I adhered them right to the front of the card base. I let them spill off the edges – and used my Paper Snips to trim the excess cardstock.
I made the mat by tearing a 3 1/2” x 4 3/4″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock down to a finished size of about 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using a Blending Brush, I colored a 3 1/2” x 4 3/4″ piece of Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP with Crumb Cake ink. Then I tore IT down to 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the dies in the Notes of Nature set, I cut out two larger leaves from Lost Lagoon cardstock and three smaller leaves from Boho Blue cardstock.
I adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I tied a simple bow using one length of gold Simply Elegant Trim and one length of Crumb Cake Baker’s twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the Notes of Nature sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink. Then I used a Stylish Shapes banner die to cut it out.
Using my Paper Trimmer, I sliced off the left end of the banner and then used double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card front over the bow.
I added some gold Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the Field Notes image, from Notes of Nature, in Crumb Cake ink in the corner of a Very Vanilla panel. I added the small leaves image in Lost Lagoon and the larger leaves twice – once in full-strength Boho Blue and again in stamped-off-once Boho Blue. I stamped the Crumb Cake dots a couple times and added some gold sequins.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and into the Crumb Cake card base and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the collage of images from Notes of Nature on the front…
…and more Crumb Cake colored Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! For a collage-a-holic like me (and some of you??) – Notes of Nature is a no-brainer-duh-gotta-have it bundle! Add the stunning Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP and…it’s card-making heaven!
I hope you like!

Ever seen an Aussie with squirrel entrails hanging from his mouth??
Now you have!

I LOVE this card sooooo much and it was fun watching you create it. Technology is great to a point, right?! As for the entrails…that look in his eyes gets me every time. My friends have a Beagle puppy and it swallowed the squeaky toy when he got to the center. Puppy is doing well after surgery. From the pics, it looks like he is not all Beagle, but maybe a little Great Dane too…lol. I’m sure Finn knows better cuz it wouldn’t taste as good as chips, popcorn, or yogurt!
Yeah – the orange squirrel has been removed from the field of play. We HAVE found squeekers on the floor – he loses interest FAST when they come out – but…not worth the worry! Thanks so much! 🙂
Such a pretty card! Love the colors and the layering is perfect! Poor squirrel! I don’t think that the surgeon can even fix that one!! 🙂
Nope – he’s terminal! :(. Thanks, Amy! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful! And, thank you for the tutorial.
You are most welcome – thank you!:)
Oh my! That is one lovely note card!
Hmmm…squirrels don’t fare so well – in the wild OR in the living room.
Thanks so much, Mom! And yes – squirrels mostly just can’t play as rough as an Aussie! 🙂
Awesome card, Mary. I love everything about it, especially the colors. Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight and Boho Blue are so pretty together.
You had me for a minute re Finn and squirrel entrails. 😆
Thanks so much, Pat – I do love this card! And – aren’t you glad it was NOT “real” squirrel parts!?! LOL!
Those eyes get me every time!
What can I say? I L O V E this card! Everything about it. Actually, my other daughter’s birthday is coming up and I CASEd this card for her. Thanks for sharing your talent and creativity.
Yeah – glad to give you an idea for another birthday card! Thank you! 🙂
