Speaking of cling stamp sets....today's email focuses on the Forever Fern stamp set (I used one of the coordinating Forever Flourishing dies too). We made this card for Club last week and I thought you might like to see the steps of making this elegant, but very easy card.

One of the great things about this card is it can be customized for almost any reason or occasion, just by changing the sentiment. The background lends itself to so many occasions.

This set will be 15% off tomorrow!!!!

Supplies used:

Forever Fern stamp set, 152559

Forever Flourishing dies, 152714

Ink Colors - Soft Sea Foam, 147102, Shaded Spruce, 147088 & Evening Evergreen, 155576

Soft Sea Foam Card Stock, 146988

Basic White Card Stock, 159276

Pansy Petals Designer Paper. 155807

Gold Foil Paper, 132622

Tasteful Labels Dies, 152886

Stamp two of the same largest greens in opposite corners, with Shaded Spruce ink.

Stamp three of the 2nd largest greens stamp in Soft Sea Foam ink. I stamped one towards the top right corner and two in the left bottom corner.

There are two similar stamps but in mirroring directions. Stamp each of these in Evening Evergreen ink above and below the mid line.

Lastly, stamp the dots in Soft Sea Foam around the edges of the greenery. I know it looks really messy at this point and you can see all the stems. Don't worry!

Cut one of the greenery shapes from the Forever Flourishing dies and glue on top of where all the stems meet.

Stamp your sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink. I used one of the dies from the Tasteful Labels dies, 152886. I use this die set a lot. I could have used many other sentiments as well as the ones shown here.

Final card!

Same card but with a holiday spin. I used Merry Merlot card base and ink to holiday it up. I also replaced the stripe paper with a pattern from the Tidings of Christmas pack, 155718.

If you don't have a die cutting machine and don't use dies - don't worry! You can use a punch to create the gold effect. I punched 3 sprigs with the Sprig punch, 148012.
