Yes, I will say it out loud. I love, love Love of Leaves! Its such a pretty set and who can resist a new leaves stamp set for fall crafting? Not only are the stamps beautiful, but you can do so much by just using the matching die cuts. In fact my card today has only a sentiment stamped. Everything else is paper and die cuts. The stitched background is perfect for a fall card and I love the way you can die cut the leaves with the same stitched look.
This card was a snap to do using the die cuts and a sentiment from the Banner Year set with the coordinating Banners Pick A Punch. I will let you in on a little secret about this years Holiday Mini catalog. Look carefully at the stamp sets offered and you will see that many sets have sentiments and artwork for many seasons, not just fall and holiday.
For example, the Banner Year stamp set covers everything from Halloween to Thanksgiving and on to Valentine’s Day. You can make cards, tags and packaging with this one set for so many occasions. So, when looking through the holiday mini catalog, look carefully at all the sentiments some of the stamp sets have. If you choose carefully, you will be crafting all year long!
And look carefully through the paper and embellishments. You will see that many of those have designs and colors that will take you further than just the holidays. This attention to putting so much thought and value into products is one of the reasons I love using Stampin’ Up! exclusively.
