Inspired By Nature – The Project Share Blog Hop – February 2024

February 3, 2024
6 Comments

3 Feb

Hello and welcome to the February 2024 Project Share Project blog hop. Our fabulous group of four independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators share each others projects every Thursday and also create a new project for a monthly Blog Hop. This month, our theme is Inspired By Nature so I’ve created this Detailed Dogwood card…

I actually had to Google to see what Dogwood looks like in real life. When I did, I found that there are a few varieties. But the stamp looks most like one that has the most beautiful petals that have pink at the base that pales out to white at the tips. So, I used my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends to replicate that as best I could. The leaves on the sample I found were quite bright and two toned, which again is perfect for Stampin’ Blends as you get both a light and dark pen to play with and blend together.

To make my card, I trimmed the stamped panel to measure 8.5 cm x 9.5 cm. I backed that with a piece of Basic Black card measuring 8.7 cm x 9.7 cm so there’s just a tiny border showing. It needed a litte something else so I stamped the little number label and wrote in a random number with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker. I used the long dotted stamp from Detailed Dogwood to add a little bit of interest to the card base before popping my panel on with dimensionals.

More inspired by nature cards

As I liked making this card so much, I went on to make another similar card with the same stamp set…

Both of these cards are in a similar style to one I made a week or so ago…

So I went back to that set and made another 2 to add to my collection. This time I also used some stamps from Notes of Nature…

Colouring these images was again Inspired By Nature and a Google search!

And because I then had 5 cards, I thought I should round it up to 6 by using some of the smaller images from Notes of Nature…

Now all I need to do is decorate 6 envelopes to match. And then make a box to gift these Inspired By Nature card too – watch this space!!
