I love the Reflected in Nature Stamp Set in the July – December Mini Catalog. I think it’s easy to miss this one – and wanted to point it out today- as it shouldn’t be missed! The main stamp in this set is the beautiful cabin/woods that is reflected on the water. It stamps so well and with so much detail!
As stampers, we are always looking for cards for the men in our lives – and this stamp set is perfect for those cards! Hope you enjoy this card and the tutorial today!
MEASUREMENTS:
- Basic White Thick Cardstock- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (card base), 3 1/2 Square (stamped image)

- Basic White Cardstock – 1/2 x 31/2 (word panel)

- Adhere the flagged pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhere to card front.
- Stamp the sentiment and image in Early Espresso Ink onto the dedicated Basic White Cardstock pieces.

- Adhere the image and sentiment to card with Dimensionals.
- Embellish with Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

My card today was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. When I saw the sketch I immediately thought of the beautiful Blackberry Beauty Suite!

I used one of the Basic Borders Dies to crop a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I took an Early Espresso Blend and tapped it over the Vanilla panel to add some soft flecks of color to the Vanilla panel.
Next, I stamped and die cut two of the floral images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set and cropped them with the coordinating dies. I layered these and added a gold sprig from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack and attached them to the Very Vanilla panel.
I tied a small bow with Linen Thread and adhered it with a glue dot. I stamped the greeting onto a small strip of Very Vanilla cardstock, and positioned this over the Linen Thread bow.
I cut a piece of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper – I cut this “strategically” so that the sparrow would show! This panel was adhered to an Early Espresso cardstock base. I added the Very Vanilla panel with dimensionals to the card front.
To finish the card, I embellished with a Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot.

If you watched my Facebook Lives this week, you saw me make four different cards featuring the All Squared Away Bundle – if you haven’t watched, you can watch the replay! Be sure to catch my boo-boo on the last card I made yesterday. Just keeping it real – lol!
I love the All Squared Away Bundle – there are so many possibilities with this bundle!
I started with a very simple card and then stepped it up three times – each time adding a “bit more.” Here are the two simplest ones:
Click below to watch yesterdays Facebook Live –
This first card just used more of the dies – and I added a little bit of color to them with a sponge dauber and ink. The four square stamps were positioned on my Stamparatus and stamped with Pale Papaya ink onto a 4″ square of Basic White cardstock.
Next, for the most stepped up card, I used four different colors of ink to stamp the squares – Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent and Polished Pink. I cut out the four different Floral Squares dies and placed them over the stamped squares.
I also added a small embossed panel and some ribbon.
Which is your favorite? I think depending on how much time you have on hand, all cards could work! Sometimes we need a quick card – and the first or second one would be perfect for that! More time? The stepped up cards just take a bit more time – but I think they are worth that little extra!
