Nature’s Symphony – To a Great Guy

Design Time: For the Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#545) Sketch.  Today’s card can be found on page 17 of the September 2025 – December 2026 Mini Catalog.  This is the last one.  Next Week – January 2026 – April 2026 Mini Catalog.

CASE: (Copy and Steal Everything) Making it the same; (Copy and Slightly Edit) Almost the same with a little variation; (Copy and Selectively Edit) Changing things.  You are welcome to choose how you create. 

My design choice was influenced by: Krafty Chicks (#800) for their Masculine Week and I am sharing with Paper Craft Crew (#653) for a Catalog Mini CASE.

Here is the result:

NATURE’S SYMPHONY – CT545 – KCC800 – PCC653

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
  • Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Secret Sea Two-Tone cardstock (dark side) dry-embossed with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder, an On-Line Exclusive product, and then sanded with a Sanding Block (from my Tools stash) to bring out the white core highlights.
  • Focal Panel: (2¾” x 4”) Night of Navy Toned Leaf patterned piece of paper from the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper pack, the December 2025 Product of the Month.
    • Using the (3”) Stitched Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set, the edge was traced along the top of the Panel with a Pencil and then fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
    • The Leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set, from the new Mini Catalog, was stamped with Versamark and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
  • Sentiment Label: (2¾” x 1¼”) scrap Blue Weathered Wood patterned piece of paper from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper pack.
    • The sentiment, To a great guy, also from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat set with White Embossing Powder and then die-cut with the (3⅜” x 1”) Stitched Banner die, also from the Stylish Shapes Dies set, and trimmed to (2⅝”).

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  A few Basic White and Secret Sea Moody Palette Glossy Dots, also an On-Line Exclusive product, were added to complete the card.

An all-purpose Guy card…
