Christi's Creative Crew: Encircled In Nature

Today's card features the ENCIRCLED IN NATURE Stamp Set & Dies along with the UNBOUNDED LOVE Stamp Set for the sentiment.

There is quite a bit of die cutting to make this card come together, but I put it together on a particularly snowy day here in Michigan and I had a totally free day to just craft away.

It's kind of funny because sometimes I will see a card that I want to try, but I will say "oh, that's too much prep work - a lot of die cutting" and then other times I will have all the patience in the world to just cut away.

This card was inspired by Tami Hewlett who is one of the Artisan designers and uses the COUNTRY WOODS Designer Paper

The wood grain wreath was cut from the darker shade of the DSP along with one set of the sprigs, and then another set of sprigs were die cut from the lighter shade of wood grain DSP.

There are two different floral sprigs dies that were cut with Basic White, and then the smaller sprigs were colored with a light shade of Mossy Meadow Ink and a Stampin' Blends Brush.

The tree line was cut from Crumb Cake.

There is a layer of Pool Party card stock that measures 5" x 3-3/4" and the Designer Paper measures 4-7/8" x 3-5/8" - both of these layers were distressed on the edges with a distressing tool that Stampin' Up! used to sell, but you could also accomplish this look with your fingernail or a scissors edge.

There are two new kits available for purchase - kits are an amazing way to craft with friends or craft on the go.
