Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Nature’s Sweetness Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle.
I was inspired by a square wreath scrapbook page layout I saw by Kelly Baxter-Fitzgerald and decided to give that same design a try with the leaves (from the paper, stamps and dies) and other elements in this suite. As the elements of this page started to come together, I realized the versatility of the design…I could divide it up to create a 2-page layout using the same elements. Then after falling in love with the focal point of the page, I created a greeting based on that section. Normally I’m inspired by a card to create a page. But in this design process I went the other direction. And then I kept going. It was a day where I couldn’t stop.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating these pretty projects with the Nature’s Sweetness Suite and other coordinating Stampin’ Up! products. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the “corner view” pages and card. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).

Rachel, It’s difficult to write in english but this is a very beautiful creation!!!! Thank you so much! and you gave us a ‘big’ and ‘great’ layout!!! You need a big great bouquet of flowers!
You are so kind Therese. Thank you!
Being a demonstrator myself, I wasn’t sure how the scrapbooking/card making was going to work but I have to say that after watching this presentation, you have done a beautiful job at combining both versions so others may have a choice of either one or both. Love everything about the layout and colors you have used and you were very easy to follow along with…can’t wait to see what is coming next!! Thank you for all the work you put in creating these layouts and designs:)
Thank you Janet. I appreciate your kind words. I’m so glad that what I shared may have helped you to approach or see scrapbooking in a new way.
Great cards and inspiration! Thanks Rachel for your inspiration on our All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team!
Thank you Kylie!
