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)
- Beauty of the Earth DSP – 4 x 5 1/4, 2 x 4
- Basic White Cardstock – 1/2 x 31/2 (word panel)
- Cinnamon Cider & Cajun Craze Cardstock 2 1/2 x 1/2
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fold the Basic White Thick Cardstock in half and burnish the fold with a Bone Folder.
- Adhere the DSP together and to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Flag the Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze Cardstock ends with Paper Snips.
- 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.
- Trim the image with Paper Snips. I followed the shape of the stamped image – creating an uneven border of white around the image, softening the look.
- Fold a loop of Early Espresso Suede Ribbon. Adhere and tuck under the sentiment with Mini Glue Dots.
- Adhere the image and sentiment to card with Dimensionals.
- Embellish with Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

My In Color Club participants receive a hand stamped card each month as a a thanks from me for being in the club! They also get “all the things” in their particular color that month. At the end of the 5 month club period, they will have all products in all of the 5 In Colors!
My cards this month featured the Shaded Summer Stamp Set. These coordinate with the Shaded Summer Dies which are free during Saleabration with a qualifying $100 product order. While I didn’t use the dies on my cards, they provide more versatility in using this great stamp set!
DID YOU KNOW? The Summer Shadow Dies that are available for FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration coordinate with the Shaded Summer Stamp Set above? See all of the freebies you can earn in my online store here. ENDS SEPTEMBER 30!
Here’s a close up of the card done in Polished Pink. Which is your favorite of our In Colors? I think I’d have a tough time picking a favorite because I really love them all!

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!
CLICK HERE or the graphic above to view the Freshly Made Sketches 502 Blog Post
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.
