The new 2023-24 Annual Catalog debuts May 2nd. And in it (on page 96) you will see my Million Dollar Achiever stamp set, Layering Leaves!!

It was such a fun experience working with Senior Product Designer Jen Foxley at Stampin’ Up! She took my sketches and suggestions and helped me bring these fun images to life!

Layering Leaves is an all-occasion stamp set that coordinates with one of our “staple” punches, the Bough Punch. Leaves are awesome accents for a wide variety of cards and other paper crafting projects.

If you are looking for more motivation to add it to your collection, stay tuned. I’ll be sharing lots of my creations in future blog posts, videos, and social media posts. I’ll also be offering a class that will include the option to add in an autographed copy of the stamp set. I hope to have that information ready to share about a week or so before the release of the new catalog…so late April.

For now, here is a sample card I put together right away after receiving my copy of the set from Stampin’ Up! a few weeks ago.

I was so in love with a card that Shelli Gardner (the co-founder of Stampin’ Up!) sent me after I reached another sales milestone. And so her card was obviously the inspiration for my version.

Here are details if you want to recreate my version. But take note that Soft Suede cardstock is retiring. So if you love the total look, be sure to order that asap.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements

• Soft Suede Cardstock
  • 5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
• Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
  • 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
• Basic White Cardstock
  • 4” x 5-1/4”
  • 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
  • Scraps for stamping and punching leaves
• Garden Green Cardstock
  • 1″ x 3-1/4″
• Vellum Cardstock
  • Scraps for punching leaves

Directions

• Stamp sentiment on Garden Green strip with VersaMark ink. Add white emboss powder. Tap off the excess, and then heat emboss.
• Die-cut 3″ stitched circles from the 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Distressed Gold Specialty Paper & Basic White Cardstock pieces. Cut the white one in half.
• Emboss the 4” x 5-1/4” and one of the half-circle Basic White Cardstock layers. Attach the 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White layer to the inside of the card.

• Layer the 1/2 circle onto the Distressed Gold circle and add to the center of the card front.
• Ink up the large, more solid leaf stamp with Granny Apple Green ink. Use a dauber to add Garden Green ink to the stem and leaf bases, then stamp the image onto a white scrap. Do this twice and punch each of them out.
• Use daubers to ink up the Garden Green stems and Flirty Flamingo flowers of the tiny buds image. Stamp the image onto a white scrap. Do this twice and punch each of them out.
• Punch a large Vellum leaf.
• Attach the larger leaf cluster images (Vellum first) using Glue Dots. Add the tiny buds.
• Then add the Garden Green sentiment strip with Dimensionals.
