Stampin' Up Season's Blessings

When a new Stampin' Up catalog comes out, I flip through it at least a dozen times and each time I flip through it, I try to focus on something else.  My first few times I just look at the new stamps and dies. Then I try to look at embellishments and papers.  Somewhere along the line, I totally focus on the samples that their fabulous team created. That's how I noticed the set I'm using today - it's called Season's Blessings along with the Seasonal Basket dies.

This set is found in the holiday section - not surprising based on the name - and I started out ignoring that section - I'm just not feeling Christmas yet.  But the beautiful samples show how well this set works for all seasons.  The samples include an autumn card and a card that I think is rich and summer-ish.  Once I noticed the full set, then I noticed that amazing basket die!!  It might all be worth it just for that.  All of the little pieces do punch out, but on my card I wanted the more filled in look.

I also have three new colors on this - Evening Evergreen (the sentiment and paper), Soft Succulent (leaves) and Pale Papaya (the flowers with a little bit of Mango Melody at the base of each). Then to keep it bright and cheerful, I added some of the new Loose Flower Flourishes in Polished Pink. 

LOVE this set!!  It'll definitely be out multiple times across the seasons!
