My Nature’s Symphony Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Nature’s Symphony Card using the Nature’s Symphony Bundle by Stampin’ Up! which is on the Last Chance List! Plus, the Nature Walk 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper is on sale for the month of August 2026. I showed a similar card using a Paper Pumpkin Kit in my Facebook Group recently and thought I would share a masculine version that I made a while back.

The Details of My Nature’s Symphony Card

This card was from the Inky Eight Event that I helped host back in March. I wanted to share it, even though the Suite is retiring. One thing about our events is that we provide a display with a ton of idea on how to use the Bundles that we picked! The next one is on November 7, 2026. If you are interested, please reach put to me.

For my card, I decided to use Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock to match the DSP colours. To create the card base, I used a 12” x 5 ½” piece of Thick Basic White and scored and cut it according to the Template below, along with the smaller inside card listed below.

Once the card base was done, I embossed my Basic White piece with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. It wasn’t retired when I made this card, but you could use any embossing folder you like.

Next, I stamped the sentiments on Basic White and die cut them out with the appropriate dies. I did use the now retired Textured Notes Dies for the front sentiment, but you could easily just cut a rectangle with your Paper Trimmer.

Then, I die cut the large leaves from the Nature’s Symphony Dies in both Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock. I used one for the front and the other for the front of the inside card. The smaller leaves were die cut from Basic White. The wood from this die set was cut from Pretty Peacock and adhered directly behind the sentiment to create my sentiment cluster. I decided to use the cross hatch die to add interest to the smaller 1” x 1 ¾” rectangles on the inner panels.

Assembly of My Nature’s Symphony Card

Now, it was time to assemble the card. First, I created my smaller inside card by adhering the Pretty Peacock mat and DSP to the front with the leaves and sentiment added directly to it to cut down on bulk. For the inside, I adhered my Pretty Peacock mat and Basic White message area.

Next, I added all my mats and corresponding DSP to card base. For the inside card, I centred it on the Lost Lagoon mat. I adhered the small cross hatch rectangles to the inside panels at the top and bottom alternating colours to add interest.

For the front focal point, I popped up only the larger Lost Lagoon leaves that were in full view onto the embossed Basic White piece. The leaves that were tucked into the sentiment cluster were not popped up to allow the sentiment cluster to be popped up instead. The finishing touch was adding three Faux Bronze Pentagons and a double Linen Thread bow.

I love this fold and have used it many times! It’s a card within a card and such a great “Wow” card for that special person!
