This simple layout can be used for any sentiment that you need. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Rooted in Nature

Paper:

   Tranquil Tide A-2

   Cajun Craze 5-1/4 x 4

   Nature's Poem DSP 4 x 4-1/2 cut @ 1-1/2 twice

   Basic White 3" Sq., 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Petal Pink

   Tranquil Tide

Technique:

   Fussy Cut

Accessories:

First, I stamped the log, using Petal Pink ink. I stamped it on the 3" square of Basic White.

I then fussy cut around it and stamped the sentiment in the center, using Tranquil Tide ink.

Next, I adhered the three panels of Nature's Poem DSP onto the Cajun Craze panel. I kept the panels in order and spaced them as evenly as possible.

I then wrapped the Jute Twine around the bottom of the panel and tied a knot to keep it together.

Next, I adhered the panel onto the Tranquil Tide card front.

Lastly, I added the log to the top center of the card, using dimensionals and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Rooted

Masculine cards are not as easy to design or create. It seems that most cards will contain some sort of "frilly" item. Here is a card that I feel does fit the masculine category.

Stamps: Rooted in Nature

Paper: Tranquil Tide A-2, Cajun Craze 5 1/4 x 4, Nature's Poem DSP 4 x 4 1/2 (Cut @ 1 1/2), Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4 (Inside), 3 1/4 x 4 (Trunk)

Ink: Petal Pink, Tranquil Tide

Technique: Fussy Cutting

Accessories: 25" Jute Twine, Dimensionals, Adhesive

This masculine card comes together very quickly. As you can see, the bottom of mine has an extra cut. I should and will leave this bottom piece intact. I adhered the DSP onto the Cajun Craze card stock. I then tied on the Jute Twine. I stamped the tree trunk and fussy cut it. This was adhered with Dimensionals. Lastly, I adhered the card front to the card base. I used liquid glue, but any strong adhesive will do as well. Other suggestions include: tear & tape, glue dots, fast fuse, dimensionals, etc.

I hope you like it. This Rooted in Nature stamp set is taking the place of our very popular and vintage stamp set: Lovely as a Tree. I will miss seeing it in the catalog, but look forward to continue to create with it. Stamps will last for a VERY long time if they are properly cared for.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I appreciate and encourage all of your feedback. 

HAPPY STAMPING!
