My Birthday Notes Card 

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Birthday Notes Card using the Nature’s Sweetness Suite Collection which includes the Notes of Nature Bundle, the Lovely & Sweet Bundle, the Nature’s Sweetness 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds all by Stampin’ Up! As I was exploring this gorgeous Suite, I ended up making 2 cards. I used one card for a swap, and this is the second card that I created. I will include a link to the other card at the end of this post. Some of these items are retiring! So, make sure you shop before they are gone!

The Details of My Birthday Notes Card

Like the other card, I thought it would be fun to continue the distressed field journal idea for my card front. 

First, I stamped the Field Notes in Pecan Pie and added some distressing with the grunge stamp in Pebbled Path on the Basic White “page”. I added a Pecan Pie tab at the top and the die cut holes like a spiral notebook. To add a worn look to the “page”, I spritzed it with water and crumpled it. Then, by placing dimensionals in strategic locations on my unraveled “page”, I was able to keep a lot of dimension in it.

The sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie, and I used a Pebbled Path label to make it pop from the “page”.

For this card, I decided to use the cross hatch and the text pieces of the DSP to create a booklet look behind my journal. To match the gold accents on the DSP I added a strip of gold foil on my base and die cut leaves on the Field Notes “page”.

The finishing touch was a scattering of Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds that come in the Nature’s Sweetness Suite Collection.
