Nature's Prints Thank You Card:
Well, I guess you can tell by my recent posts that I love the Nature's Prints bundle, which is part of our new Sun Prints Collection! I recently demonstrated several emboss-resist techniques at our team meeting, and I decided to use one of my favourite techniques for today's card--using Blending Brushes with heat embossing.
If you visit my blog regularly, you know that the colours in this card are my favourites! I used Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point, and one of our new "In Colors", Orchid Oasis. I love how the card turned out! And it's so easy to do with our Blending Brushes!!
The Metallic Woven Ribbon is another new product in one of our new colours--Tahitian Tide. I think it goes well with the card. I also used our new Iridescent Pearls to finish the card. Full directions and shopping links for this card are below.

Full Directions for My Nature's Prints Thank You Card:
- Cut the following layers:
- Bermuda Bay cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
- Shimmery White cardstock: 5" x 3-3/4"
- Pacific Point cardstock: 5-1/8" x 3-7/8"
- Basic White cardstock: 3" x 1-3/4" (for sentiment)
- Orchid Oasis cardstock: 3" x 1-3/4" (for sentiment mat)
- Stamp leaves and flowers along bottom and right edges of Shimmery White layer with Bermuda Bay ink. Completely dry ink with a heat tool (so embossing powder doesn't stick to the Bermuda Bay area)
- Clean stamp, and use it to stamp in a similar area with Versamark ink. Add white embossing powder, and set with heat tool.
- Add Pool Party ink to background using a Blending Brush. Be sure to start off the edge of the paper, and apply ink gently in a circular motion. Add Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point ink, focusing on leaves and flowers, and then add some Orchid Oasis to the flowers only. Wipe excess ink off embossing with a paper towel.
- Cut 16" piece of Tahitian Tide 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon, wrap around Shimmery White layer about 1" from the left edge, and tie into a bow.
- Use Stampin' Seal to adhere card front to Pacific Point cardstock layer, and then to Bermuda Bay card base.
- Stamp sentiment on white with Pacific Point ink and then die cut with Nature's Print label die.
- Use the same die to cut another label with Orchid Oasis cardstock, and then cut this label vertically, and glue to back of white label, separating the pieces by about 1/8" at the centre. Add to card front with Dimensionals.
- Add three Iridescent Pearls to card front.
