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.

Here’s one other sample. This card shows where my creating first began with a Basic White base and panel with a Secret Sea leaf. I just love the simplicity of this card. It’s so pretty! (Basic White panel measures 5 x 3 3/4)

This next card is a little “stepped” up. It include a Basic White background embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder and the leaf die cut from a piece of the Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
