I love nature, and try to get out to the forest for a walk every single day. Which is odd. Because if you asked me a few years ago I would have clearly stated that I prefer beaches to forests.
But I have completely changed my mind after living in this beautiful country. The Netherlands has both gorgeous beaches and beautiful forests. And over time I have begun to better appreciate walking in the forests.
Because they change. Every day I notice something new and slowly see the changes through the seasons. As I walk, I often stop to snap a quick photo of something that catches my eye.
Sometimes I have even scrapbooked some of these memories because I know over time they will be forgotten. Other times I am inspired to create a card that has more of a nature theme.
What are some great nature themed stamp sets that reflect the loveliness of nature? Here are my top five, in no particular order:
- Campology - Although I am not much of a camper anymore, the outdoor imagery and sentiments in this set is perfect for your masculine projects or projects about camping and the outdoors.
- Rooted in Nature - This set celebrates nature and everything in it. You can layer images to create a natural scene, or mix and match the images to create natural collages
- Nature's Beauty - what is nature without some quiet beauty? This is what a forest looks like in my mind:
- Birds & Branches - perfect for creating custom die-cut birds, flowers, and nature scenes. (Tip: bird stamp sets are super popular right now!)
- Walk in the Woods - a bit obvious from the title. This set combines messages of friendship with images from the great outdoors.
You will see that I did not show any floral stamp sets. That was deliberate on my part because I believe that most crafters have tons of florals they can use and I wanted to feature lesser know sets for you to consider.
What about you? Do you prefer forests or beaches? What are your go-to stamp sets when you are nature inspired? I would love to know.
