Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

If you’re drawn to projects that feel calm, grounded, and quietly beautiful, today’s card is going to speak to you. The Nature Walk Designer Series Paper with Sticker Sheet brings such a subtle, organic touch to cardmaking, and it’s perfect for creating designs that feel inspired by nature without being busy or overwhelming. This is one of those collections that works effortlessly in the background—letting your focal point shine while still adding depth and interest. If you love cards that feel warm, earthy, and timeless, this is a paper pack you’ll want close at hand.

I started this card with an Early Espresso card base, cut to an A2 size of 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, then scored and folded at 4 1/4″. Early Espresso is one of my favorite base colors when working with nature-inspired designs because it adds instant warmth and richness. For the card front, I chose one of the beautiful distressed patterns from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper—this one quickly became a favorite. It’s cut to 5 1/4″ x 4″, allowing that Early Espresso border to frame the design and give the card a polished, finished look.

The focal point of this card is where the magic really happens. I selected one of the mountain scene stickers from the coordinating sticker sheet. These stickers are such a joy to work with—they give you detailed artwork without extra stamping or coloring. I matted the sticker with Early Espresso cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. These dies truly connect the entire design… I die cut another circle using a dark blue pattern from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, pulling color directly from the mountain scene.

Because I love designing in odd numbers, I added one more circle—this time in Basic White—to create space for the sentiment. The greeting comes from the Simply Said Stamp Set, keeping things clean and uncomplicated so the focal point remains the star. The layout itself is simple and balanced, centered around the mountain scene and supported by those layered circles.

To finish the card, I added just a few Pearls of Beauty. A small amount of embellishment is all this design needs—just enough to add a soft elegance without taking away from the natural, organic feel of the card.

This project is a wonderful reminder that you don’t need complicated layers or techniques to create something meaningful. The Nature Walk Designer Series Paper and Sticker Sheet do so much of the work for you, making it easy to create cards that feel thoughtful, warm, and inspired by the outdoors.

I hope this card inspires you to pull out your supplies and start creating. As always, I’m here to help—whether you need product details, inspiration, or a little creative encouragement.

Happy stamping, my friend. 🌿
