Stamp Review Crew: Nature’s Prints

Happy July, stampers! I am pleased to welcome you to another Stamp Review Crew blog hop. I believe this is only my fourth SRC appearance this year, but rest assured these hops are offered on the first and third Mondays of each month. Today we’re taking a look at Nature’s Prints, with its corresponding Natural Prints dies (no longer offered in a bundle):

Click the banner above — or here — to see the bloggers participating today. (Remember that unless a stamper’s blog has been deleted, you should be able to see every post for the Stamp Review Crew.) Although I’m first in the lineup of international bloggers today, the hop is a loop, so you may have just enjoyed the work of Ellen Woodbridge.

I didn’t intentionally set out to do a series of monochromatic cards, but that’s the way it turned out! This card is pretty simple, with just a bit of texture behind the Maidenhair Fern. It would be perfect to make in multiples. This is in the mail to one of my stamping BFFs, as I was reflecting on all the good times we have had over stamps, ink, and paper!

My second card celebrates another stamping friend’s most recent grandchild, born just last week. It’s for Grandpa and Grandma, not the baby (or her parents), so the sentiment is not traditional. Nor is the image, for that matter, but the baby’s nursery is decorated with a “sloth” theme, and that image is not in this set!

Finally, an experiment in blue. This card is a bit boho, and Boho Blue indeed is the base. There are three stamps from Nature’s Prints in Misty Moonlight — can you spot them? (Big hint there.) I like the way these blues play together!

BTW, I will post each of my cards later this week, with details and product lists, so you are not delayed today. Now you are off to find out what Mike Funke has done with this set at Stampin- Style. See you later this week!
