One of the best sets in the new mini catalogue is Notes of Nature. As a crafter I am really drawn to collage style, messy, grungy stamps and techniques. It sings to me! So I was all over this new Notes of Nature stamp set. In today’s Craft and Chat replay I make 2 cards, one using just stamps, the other focussing on the dies. And yes, I added blue leaves….. I know leaves aren’t blue……I think we can call it artistic license!

I know for some the distressing of the card edges and crinkling of the card is just too much. but you don’t have to do that if you prefer a clean and simple look.
