Sneak peek plus retiring Boughs and Blossoms

Sneak peek of something new which I used with the retiring Boughs and Blossoms stamp set. Unfortunately this stamp set hasn’t made it into the new 2022-23 Annual Catalogue. The good news is that the Bough punch which was bundled with it will still be available.

It has been my mission to leave no stamp set which I’d purchased from the January-June 2022 mini and 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue unused. So often in previous catalogue launches, I’ve ended up with stamps which haven’t seen the light of day. I needed to address this one before it was too late, and it looks like my mission is complete! First time for everything!

Say “hello” to this new Fern 3D embossing folder. I’ve used it as a background for the wreath I’ve made using the Bough punch. The leaves have been punched from Flowering Fields DSP with flower stamped from the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set. I fussy cut the flowers to add to the wreath as accent pieces.

Giving a last “hurrah” to two of the outgoing 2020-2022 In-colours Just Jade and Bumblebee. The card base is Just Jade and the flower was stamped in Bumblebee. In fact the lighter colour is just second generation stamping of Bumblebee. The video tutorial features the card above.

I’ve included photos of some other cards I made with this set before it retires.

    • Thank you, Becky. If you have floral stamp sets and leafy dies, you can duplicate the layout. The patterned papers have retired too, unfortunately. Stampin’ Up! always very rarely carry over the papers from catalogue to catalogue and season to season.
