You can feel the solitude in this beautiful and earthy set penned by Lauren Pope. Whether it's catching the great outdoors by canoe, or sitting by the lake front cabin, this set delivers a serene dose of nature. This 4 by 6" set offers two main images plus three beautifully scripted sentiments. Images are great for nature lovers or even for the men in your life!
My creation today feels almost like cheating when it comes to stamping. hee hee It was pretty easy since I let the designer paper do most of the work for me. This is one of the sheets in the 1,2,3 create kit today called Trail Mix. There is a perfect spot for a sentiment already framed up for me. The faux stitching around the sentiment panel was perfect, so I went ahead and added a faux stitched border to tie it together.
The paper has some foilage already designed into the paper, however I added one of the images stamped in forest green ink to tie in the foilage already on the paper. Then some of the ribbon and twine tied off with a wooden button from the kit. Voila! Maybe took 10 mintues to create.
For my second card today I created an easy peasy masculine card. I stamped my image onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
Colored with copic collections:
Once colored simply matted onto some Color Made Easy Emerald Coast paper and layered onto my card base. Some faux stitching around the edges on this card as well. Tied off my Color made Easy Terra Cotta Japonica ribbon with a celery button and voila!

Both are beautiful cards...love seeing the "manly" card, as I am always looking for ideas for that!!
Great versatility in using the stamps. I love how you have used the patterned paper and stamped outline on the first. Lovely colouring on the second.
Both of these are beautifully designed!
While your coloring on card 2 is stunning and is a perfect match to that fun plaid paper -- the first card is wow! I love how you used the decorative paper to let that image flow peacefully in the background -- way fun!
Great cards, love the scene image, so intricate!
Great cards Stacy! I love the way you used the image as the background in the first card - looks great. Your coloured image on the second card is perfect and set off beautifully with the designer paper and bow.
Beautiful cards! Thanks for the inspirations!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOVE BOTH of your cards Stacy!!! :) The FIRST ONE looks SOOO EARTHY & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!! :) Your second card is PERFECT TOO!!!!!!!! GORGEOUS COLORING!!!!!! :) TOTALLY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I ADORE your first card Stace!! Easy or not, it's stunning the way you included the scene and sentiment. And your second is fabulous all dressed in its masculine attire!! Two beauties for sure!!
Both cards look so different and so amazing. I like how the sentiment takes center stage on the first card and your use of masculine patterned paper on the second. :)
Both cards are awesome - Ilove stamping on DP - makes for an easy card with lots of detail.
Good Golly, Stacy!! I love both of your cards, they have such a masculine yet soft feel to them! I love the bold colors you chose and your embellishments, too :)
Ok, you guys are having way tooo much fun with this set. : ) And I can see why, it's stunning! Both of your cards are amazing. Great papers and I really like the non-colored version.
Both cards are beautiful! Love the simple beauty of the image stamped in green! This is a wonderful image for masculine cards! TFS
They are awesome, Stacey! Love how you showcase the image with two different look! Fantastic work!
Great cards. I like how you used the designer paper on the first one.
I love them both, Stacy. But I think my favorite is the second one. Love the dp you've paired with this second stamp set. Wonderful cards!
Fabulous job with this stamp set, Stacy! I really love how you simply stamped the green outline in the first card. It enhances the designer paper and makes a nice background for the sentiment.
Great cards and you are right! Those papers go fabulously well with this stamp set..like they were made for each other :)
Both cards can be used as masculine cards that are so hard to make. Like muted colors on the first card and the plaid paper on the second.
Your 10 minute card is by far my favorite of all of these from this set. Very simple, elegant, masculine...love it!
Just absolutely stunning!!
Great cards... love how toy didn't colour the first card's image.
WOWZER...both cards are so unique and beautiful! Awesome designs!
