Nature-Inspired Masculine Card

12 June 2026
2 Comments

12 Jun

Hi my Crafters,

Today I’m sharing a masculine card created with the beautiful Nature Symphony Suite. I love how this suite brings the beauty of the outdoors into our crafting with its nature-inspired images, coordinating dies, and gorgeous Designer Series Paper.

Masculine cards can sometimes be tricky, but the Nature Symphony Bundle made this one easy! I started with a mix of Designer Series Paper patterns and colours to create a natural, layered background, then added die-cut elements to bring texture and dimension to the design.

The Nature Symphony Suite is perfect for anyone who loves bringing the beauty of the outdoors into their cardmaking. With its detailed nature-inspired images, coordinating dies, and beautiful Designer Series Paper, it makes creating masculine cards effortless. I especially love how the suite combines natural textures and earthy colours, making it easy to build layers and add interest to any project. Whether you’re creating cards for birthdays, thank-yous, or just because, this suite offers endless creative possibilities.

I love how the different DSP colours work together to create a card that feels both masculine and full of interest. Sometimes all it takes is a few die-cuts, beautiful paper, and a little creativity to let nature do the talking!

  • Die-cut different shapes using the Bundle leaves with DSP.
  • Base card using Night Of Navy, Sponged the layer 1 using Blueberry Bushel
  • Splatter some White Ink to the background and layered with DSP plus some scrap pieces which I have in my box.
  • I used back side of the die-cut pieces to add some texture to the card.

Close look of the arranged pieces here I Coloured Linen thread with Old Olive.

Such a beautiful DSP helps to create the background easily.

Decorate the inside of the card using left over pieces.
