With so much to be grateful for, my hands are quickly crafting as a way to communicate my appreciation and thanks to so many. In my own home, cards often linger on mantles long after occasions have gone by, only to be replaced by new greetings honoring events and recipients. The much appreciated cards having been replaced, take a new spot in a basket of memories.

The Stampin' Up Mini Catalog for July-December 2022 offers two particularly sweet stamp sets that resonate with the season. Soft Seedlings (item # 159905, $20) and Painted Pheasant (item # 159846, $19) are both cling mount stamps that look great whether you stamp them tone on tone, watercolor the images, or use fun techniques to create multi-colored images. These images certainly extend beyond the season of Autumn and will make a great addition to your stamp collection. Below are some samples I've created to share.
