Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
So – last week, I made a card with the new Nature’s Walk Suite – available 6 Jan 2026 in the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. In the course of making it – I ended up with a Nature’s Symphony die cut leaf – FROM the Nature’s Walk DSP. I said then that I was keeping that leaf to use in a future card and…today’s sketch challenge gave me the perfect opportunity! I also used the Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper – also coming to you. on 6 Jan – and the cool Online Exclusive Textured Notes die set to make a quick and easy thank you card. Take a look-see:
And here’s our sketch!
I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and, in two corners, I stamped the big, gorgeous foliage image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink.
Using the second-from-largest Textured Notes die, I cut out a piece of Tan Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. On it, I stamped the textural image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set several times in stamped-off-once Pecan Pie ink.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the die cut to the front of the card base.
I used the large leaf die from the Nature’s Symphony set to cut out a leaf from a piece of Nature’s Walk DSP (I actually did this LAST week, but… one way or another you need to have the big leaf!). Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the leaf to the card front.
I tied a simple bow from a piece of Linen Thread and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Cream Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper, I stamped the Nature’s Symphony sentiment in Pecan Pie ink and cut it out with the smallest Textured Notes die.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment over the Linen Thread bow.
I added three Pecan Pie Earthy Matte Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Nature’s Symphony sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic Beige panel. In two corners, I used the little hash-mark die from the Nature’s Symphony to cut into the card stock.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Nature’s Symphony texture image in stamped-off-once Pecan Pie ink on the front…
…and I stamped the large foliage image in Mossy Meadow on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well, here’s another example of WHY I love the new Nature’s Walk suite SO SO much! It’s stinkin’ gorgeous! The foliage – the sentiments – the texture – stamped AND die cut from the Nature’s Symphony bundle – what’s not to love?! And the beautiful organic designs from the Nature’s Walk DSP. As if that wasn’t enough – add in the Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper and…boom-chaca-laca!! AND – I am SO happy to let you know what the amaze-balls Textured Notes dies are STICKING AROUND!! It’s coordinating stamp set is on the Last Chance list, but…these rectangles will be around for a while longer! Whoo-hoo!!
I hope you like!

Gorgeous card Mary 🙂 That textured paper is perfect This is one of my favorite new suites
Thanks so much – mine, too, Karen! 🙂
Great card, Mary! Just when I think that I couldn’t possibly need another nature stamp set, a card like yours comes along. I guess I might as well admit that at this point, I’m more of a stamp collector than a stamper!! Lol
LOL! I hear that, Barb! I’m glad that you liked the card! Thanks so much! 🙂
Such a pretty card! Love the die cut greenery and the layering is perfect! 🙂
Thank you, ma’am! 🙂
I love that central leaf- I can see why you hung onto it!This card is beautiful with all its nature elements.
It’s such a pretty die cut! Thanks, Nicole! 🙂
