The Stampin’ Up! Wild Ferns bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) didn’t go unnoticed by me in the new Spring Mini Catalog. The bundle landed on the list of My Favorite Things because of its plush, organic style that can effortlessly evolve into a modern or traditional design. SAVE 10% when you purchase the Wild Ferns stamp set and dies as a bundle!
WHAT I LOVE! I kept things simple using just the corner frond die (the same die, cut twice) from Wild Ferns Dies and then gluing the two pieces together as a rectangle. The result is quick and balanced placement of the fronds (no futzing). The two rectangle dies used for the sentiment are also from the Wild Ferns bundle (as is the “Heartfelt Condolences” stamp). They perch and nest perfectly over the rectangle created with the corner dies.
