Spotlight On Nature Bundle

Hello my friends,

The Spotlight On Nature Bundle (#163581) is already one of my favourites from the new upcoming Annual Catalogue.

I stamped the floral image from the Spotlight On Nature stamp set (#163579) using VersaMark (#102283) and adding Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This of course needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This stamped image and the Peach Pie card (#163800) were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I also stamped the splotches from the same stamp set using Peach Pie ink (#163810) using the stamping off method to achieve a lighter colour. The flowers were coloured with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends (#163827) and the leaves with Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder (#163789). This works beautifully with these circle dies. The edges of the card front were daubered with Peach Pie ink then attached to the Basic White base card. The larger circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Peach Pie ink and cut with a die from the Wild Ferns dies (#162654). The gold ribbon under the sentiment is from the Silver & Gold 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633). The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The bundle will be retiring, however the stamp set and dies will still be available in the next catalogue, just not as a bundle. Some of these ferns bring back memories of when I was growing up and these ferns grew on various parts the farm.

I stamped the leaves with Old Olive ink (#147090), Garden Green ink (#147089), Cajun Craze ink (#147085 and Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). These were all cut with the Wild Ferns dies.

I dry embossed a piece of Old Olive card (#106576) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406) and punched the V’s at each end with a retired Triple Banner Punch. The Very Vanilla card front (#106550) was dry embossed with the Ferns 3D Embossing Folder (#158804). I wrapped the Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (#160386) around the card front and attached the card front to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Old Olive ink. The sentiment and the Crumb Cake card (#121685) under the sentiment were cut with the Wild Ferns dies. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The ferns were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I stamped “Happy” with Crumb Cake ink (#147116), Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and Copper Clay ink (#161647) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). “Birthday” was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083).

The leaves are cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185). I used Oxidised Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190) and Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139). The rows of “stitching” is also from the Autumn Leaves dies.

The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
