FREE TUTORIAL! A Simple Card Idea with the Nature Walk Suite


Hello Reader,

Today’s card grew straight out of yesterday’s Subscriber-Exclusive Sketch, and it reminded me again why I adore the NEW Nature Walk Suite Collection. The leafy textures, fresh layered details, and soft, organic patterns make it so effortless to create something that feels calm, elegant, and heartfelt. I followed the sketch as my starting point, then let the suite do the rest. If you’ve been curious about this collection, this project is a beautiful peek at just how versatile it can be!

NEW product spotlight: Nature Walk Suite

The Nature Walk Suite Collection & Moody Palette Glossy Dots (two of My Favorite Things) are the foundation for this simple and pretty card. These coordinating products from the Nature Walk Suite are from the NEW 2026 Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalog and available to purchase NOW! I encourage you to get them while they are in stock!
