Friendship Cards with Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set
Cherishing friendships has never been easier with the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! It’s perfect for creating heartfelt handmade friendship cards. Whether you’re celebrating a special bond or just want to remind a friend how much they mean to you, the soft greenery, florals, and thoughtful sentiments in this bundle will help you craft a card that’s truly special.
The Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set offers endless possibilities for creativity. With delicate designs and elegant sentiments, you can create a card that perfectly captures the essence of your friendship. Imagine sending a card with beautifully stamped florals and a touching message that expresses your appreciation. It’s a wonderful way to show your friends how much you care.
For this card, I wanted to use strong jewel tones so I went with the classic Old Olive ink for the leaves and added Blackberry Bliss for the butterfly. By sticking with those 2 colors, plus Basic Black and Basic White, you have a classically elegant card as a result. If you’d prefer brighter colors, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, which has lots of color combinations to inspire you!
In this blog post, I’ll guide you through making a stunning friendship card using the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set. Let’s get started on making a friendship card that will be cherished!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Basic White cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Using the 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the leaf image on the left side (as shown in the sample) using Old Olive ink. Stamp a second time without reinking the stamp. Repeat this process on the left side, building depth on the both left side of the cardstock.
- Stamp the butterfly on the right of the cardstock using Black Memento ink. (See sample for placement) Color in using the Dark Fresh Freesia Blend at the top of the butterfly and work down using the Light and then Dark Blackberry Bliss Blends.
- Adhere the White cardstock to the Basic Black cardstock and then adhere to the front of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment on to the 5/8″ strip of Basic White cardstock using Black Memento ink. Use scissors to but the right side at an angle and then adhere to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- To finish, add 3 of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems as desired.
