{ Tip }

Use natural materials in your crafts! You can just step outside your door & find something that is natural, beautiful &, best of all, FREE. Isn't that wonderful? Also, it's eco-friendly, unique & depending on what you use can add scent.

For this card, I created natural trim. I cut leaves from my Japanese Maple, taped them down, then covered the stems with cardstock.



Create a specimen card by attaching an herb, flower or other plant then stamp it's name. I chose rosemary, which adds its fresh scent to this creation.


Pick a few different plants & tie them together to create a small bouquet. For this card, I used twine to hold together lavender & grass.


Here are more examples that I have created:
