This illustrates how versatile the Autumn Days set is. Coupled with a different sentiment, it makes a different statement. I just scored, folded and crimped to get this effect just with a single stamp – fir cone and pine needles. I love it!

Autumn Days, Occasional Greetings
This set found in the Nature section of the current Idea Book & Catalogue is really versatile. You can use it for a “Thanksgiving” card, or a male oriented card – a sample of that follows, or even a christmas themed one. I tore some scrap pieces of Old Olive toward me for the “grassy” […]
Stampin’ Up!’s Inaugural Convention in Bad Homburg
