Today I wanted to share this beautiful card using Gently Falling from the Holiday Mini Catalog to wish a Happy Birthday to someone special. This is a fun stamp set to use, and this handmade card is from one of my trusty swapping partners, Cathy Somody.
Cathy employed the basketweave technique on the right side of the card, using Very Vanilla Card Stock and the extremely versatile and popular Spice Cake Designer Series Paper. Gently Falling is a two-step stamp set, meaning there are 2-steps you can use when you stamp to create gorgeous leaves like this. The first step is to stamp the outline image of the leaves. The second step is to stamp the inside of the leaf image. The great thing is that you can also use either stamp alone, so you get so many different options for looks you want to achieve.
There are 4 different leaf images in Gently Falling stamp set as well as an acorn and maple seed images. All have the 2 steps which means you get a set of 12 stamps with lots and lots of options for stamping! The wood-mount set (123802) is $39.95, and the clear-mount set (123804) is $28.95. Hurry, as the Holiday Mini Catalog only goes through January 4th. Shop today from your seat not your feet by visiting my online store: candystamps.stampinup.net!
