The Notes of Nature Bundle is one that I really like but have not given much time to. My card today gives it a partnership with the gorgeous Layered Floral Embossing Folder. They are a great pairing.
Bundle
The Notes of Nature Bundle is a really nice one. And has an item from the stamp set and from the die set on this card. The sentiment is from the set and is one I especially was drawn to. Your birthday should be All About You! So I definitely had to use that sentiment and make it fairly prominent.
The die from the Notes of Nature that is used is the notebook looking Pebbled Path piece. One of the things I like about this particular die is of course the holes and perforations. But also that it does not cut out on either side. So it could be made as a piece of notebook paper, or as I used it for simply a strip for decoration. Versatility is something I always look for.
Extra Features
The embossing folder used here is the Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder. It is in the Mini Catalog and seems to be overlooked quite often. It is on page 65 and in the center of the book fold, so a bit difficult to see. And it is well worth seeing!! The details are amazing. Even done in Basic White you can clearly see the details on my card. I love the different flowers mixed in together.
The sentiment was highlighted by using the Banner Pick A Punch to give it some detail. And by using the Wild Wheat Ink, it appears to be embossed. Another of the Extras is the Gold Faux Leather Trim. I used it to lace through the holes of the die cut piece. It really does have what looks like gold flecks on the leather. For my purpose I simple adhered each end underneath the Pebbled Path strip of card stock.
Papers
To continue with the different pairings of products, I used Pebbled Path card stock as the card base and the strip of die cut. Next is the Basic White of the sentiment and the embossed floral. And finally is a strip of the Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper. The gold from the paper was the Pop the card needed. And it did not take very much.
To finish the bling from the DSP, I added a scattering of the Iridescent Foil Gems. They are scattered around as flower centers and to highlight the sentiment. This mix of products is not my norm at all. Mixing the shining with the leather and the leather with floral is a stretch that I am really happy with. I hope you will try some of these different pieces as well.
