Today I’m sharing the make-n-take project that I presented during my last demonstrator team Connect, Create & Share event on February 1st. I sent everyone participating a similar pack of supplies. (I say “similar” because budget-wise I had to send out different combos of the Nature Walk designer paper.) And then at the Zoom event I demonstrated and/or explained how to turn those supplies into a variety of different card layouts.
In the days that followed people shared their finished creations in our team Facebook group album. Many chose to follow the pattern of my first design that I showed (the first one I’m sharing today) since that was the one that I demonstrated in more detail from start to finish. Some followed another pattern I presented. Some used different but similar product. Some added extra touches like inking or embossing. It was so fun to see all the variations!

It truly is incredible how the same supplies can create so many different looks! So I’m going to walk you through those same variations today.
I also just received my February Product of the Month (POM)* yesterday! So during my instructional video you’ll see that pretty Painted Illusions Paper in a couple card samples, too.
Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed all the card variations I shared in this video. And wasn’t it fun to see the the new product and the new Stampin’ Positioner in action too?! As I mentioned in the video, the newer products debut March 3. And the Stampin’ Positioner (a $49 value!) is a FREE gift for those purchasing the Starter Kit this month through March 2.
Below are photos of all the cards I shared and a visual list of products (each linked to where you can find them in my online store). I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live.
Click here to access and download the printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.

Beginning measurements for each Nature Walk card…
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”

Here are card variations I shared that can be made with these same supplies mentioned in the above measurements. Of course, there are many MANY other variations I’m sure. (If you come up with one, I’d love to see your design! Please post it in my Stamp Your Art Out Group on Facebook and tag me so I see it.)








Do you have a favorite? Feel free to leave me a comment below. OH! And here is the version of this last card using the new Painted Illusions February POM Designer Paper.


These are the cards that I created with the help of the new Stampin’ Positioner. This first one I demonstrated in my Live on 1/28/26. I used the new A Rainbow of Thanks Stamp Set which becomes available March 3.

This is one I shared how to make at the end of today’s Live. It features the beautiful new Painted Illusions February POM Designer Paper available now for $5 with a $75 order AND the new Cutest Crew Bundle which becomes available March 3.


I’ve included an extra product list below for these additional “currently available” products I used to make these two cards. I hope you had fun today and gained some creative inspiration.
