One of the trendsetters in the Stampin’ Up! Spring Mini Catalog is the Wild Ferns bundle. Style it as simple or as layered as you like. While I used five of the Wild Ferns dies (the same corner die twice) and three of the stamps, I kept the color palette soft and tone on tone (Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Soft Sea Foam).
The Stampin’ Up! Wild Ferns Bundle and Deckled Rectangles Dies are on the list of My Favorite Things. The Deckled Rectangles Dies will be exclusively available in the on-line store after April 30.
BUY THE BUNDLE BEFORE MAY 1 & SAVE 10%! The Wild Ferns stamp set and dies will be available in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-25 Annual Catalog but will no longer be 10% off as of May 1. Here are other current bundles that will not be retiring but will no longer offer bundled (10% off) pricing.
2 MINUTE TECHNIQUE TIP: To keep dies in place over stamped sentiments (“wishing you well”) and images (fern fronds), I simply use a few pieces of Post-It© Tape. See what else I recommend in my craft room here. Here’s one of my previous WOW! videos where I demonstrate how I use the Post-It© Tape.
NEED COLOR INSPIRATION? The color combination for today’s card uses one of the 5 Fresh for Spring Color Combinations that I shared on Tuesday! You can see my Color Combination library here.
