Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color 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!
The colors screamed NATURE WALK DSP to me so – I didn’t fight it – I leaned into it and also pulled out the Nature’s Symphony Bundle! It wasn’t exactly a hardship – I LOVE this bundle and DSP (and – the bundle is in the new May-Aug 2026 Catalog, too – BOOM)! Take a look-see:
And – here’s the color challenge!
And I pulled some elements from this week’s Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, too! I went down the left column (CAS – Twine – Patterned Paper) and across the top (CAS – Die Cut – Floral)
I started by adhering a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of the Nature Walk DSP to the front of my Pecan Pie cardbase using Liquid Glue.
Using the little hashmark die in the Nature’s Symphony die set – I cut the marks from the top left and bottom right corners of a 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Nature Walk DSP.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the panel to a Cloud Cover mat – then I popped the whole thing onto a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered the double-matted panel to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using the big leaf die in the Nature’s Symphony die set, I cut out a Basic White leaf. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals – I adhered the leaf to the panel.
I tied a simple bow from two pieces of Linen Thread and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock, I stamped the Nature’s Symphony sentiment in Night of Navy ink and cut it out with the small Stylish Shapes banner die.
Using double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals – I adhered the sentiment over the bow.
I added five Cloud Cover 2025 – 2027 In Color Flat Pearls and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Nature’s Walk sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped the large leaf from the set in stamped-off-TWICE Secret Sea ink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Nature’s Walk leaf in stamped-off-TWICE Secret Sea on the front…
…and more of the Nature Walk DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This is one of my favorite suites EVER – the Nature Walk DSP has the best color combinations (I LOVE that scripty design!!) and the coordinating Nature’s Symphony bundle has all the sentiments and stamped AND die cut foliage that you could want. It’s really just the best and I am SOO happy that this bundle got a spot in the new catalog! Whoo-hoo!
I hope you like!
