You might have missed the Natures Beauty stamp set in the Holiday Catalogue.  It is on the inside of the back cover and this stamp set has a special significance.  For every one of this stamp set purchased in Australia $4.25 will be donated to Australian Metal Health Organisations.  That in itself is a good reason to purchase the stamp set, but, it is a truly lovely set and one that will be useful for many different occasions.  When I receive a new stamp set, I like to stamp all of the images onto a sheet of A4 Whisper White.  If the stamp set has any co-ordinating dies, I cut them and attach them to the page also.  I store these in a A4 folder and as well as being a visual reminder of what each stamp set contains, whilst I am stamping the images, I start to get ideas of how I want to use them.  This card was made immediately after creating my reference card.  I stamped the tree trunk image from the Winter Woods stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Crumb Cake ink.  I used the die from the In The Woods Dies to cut the top of a piece of Mossy Meadow card before embossing it using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (I can’t believe how much I use this folder!).  I attached the embossed card to the stamped Very Vanilla card and then scored and folded Crumb Cake card.  I stamped the deer image from the Natures Beauty stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Soft Suede ink and cut it out using the Layering Ovals Dies.  I attached the image to a Soft Suede scalloped oval cut using the same dies and then the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped “thinking of you” from the Colourful Seasons stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Soft Suede ink. I cut out the greeting using the Merry Christmas Dies before attaching to the card front.

To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Winter Woods stamp set across a narrow strip of Very Vanilla card using Crumb Cake ink.  I attached a narrow strip of Mossy Meadow card behind the top edge before attaching to Very Vanilla card.

I am really pleased with my first use of this stamp set and I have a few more ideas to use these images.  I hope I have inspired you to take another look at this stamp set to add to your collection.

Bye for now,

Kris
