I continue to play with Stampin’ Up!’s Nature’s Symphony Bundle. I’ve said this before, but when I get a new bundle or stamp set, I really enjoy stretching the limits. It’s fun to see all the different ways the paper crafting products can be used. And, I know that I generally just scratch the surface. (Find this bundle, and many others, in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2026 Mini Catalog.)
In other posts, I’ve shown the large die cut leaf as the focal point on many cards. Today, I show you what you can do with the piece of card stock left over from the die cutting. Use it as a stencil to create a different look on your handmade cards. Be sure to watch the video below to see a visual demonstration of how this actually works.

Don’t you just love playing with brand-new paper crafting products? There’s just something satisfying about sitting down at the craft table with the fresh stamp set, coordinating dies, fancy patterned papers, and gems and ribbons. It’s fun to see how I can stretch my creativity.
Today, I share a few cards created with Stampin’ Up!’s Nature Walk Suite Collection, specifically the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and coordinating Nature’s Walk Designer Series Paper. The images and muted tones of the Designer Series Paper, make this a perfect fit for creating masculine cards. But it’s also suited for a variety of occasions. Be sure to watch the video below to see more samples.
I got caught in using the large leaf die as my focal point. So stay tuned in the next few weeks to get inspiration for using the whole bundle.
