    Hey Friends!  Today I am joining the Stamping with Friends  Blog Hop featuring projects from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration Brochure.


    I chose the Notes of  Nature stamps and Nature's Sweetness Designer Series Paper DSP).  You can find them on pages 40-43 in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog.  This card has a quick and easy layout that would work well for making multiple cards at once and it focuses on the DSP -- my favorite crafting product!!!



    Card Details:

    • Stamps
      • Notes of Nature
    • Paper
      • Copper Clay Cardstock
      • Nature's Sweetness 12" x 12" DSP 
    • Ink
      • Copper Clay, Pebbled Path
    • Tools/Embellishments 
      • Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds
      • Countryside Corners Dies 


    I used Copper Clay ink to stamp some dots at an angle on the top layer to step it up a bit.  Tone on tone stamping is a great way to add a bit of pizzazz to your cards.   Make sure you stop by my stamping friends blog to see more Jan-Apr Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration projects.
