A Sneak Peek of a Brand-New Stamp Set!
Today’s themes were both centered around the woods, so it was the perfect opportunity to share a sneak peek from the upcoming Mini Catalog! I’m so excited to introduce you to the brand-new Aspen Grove Stamp Set (#167018). This set is stunning and incredibly versatile—perfect for winter scenes, masculine cards, nature themes, and yes… even Christmas.
I can already tell this is going to be one of my new go-to sets, and I can’t wait to design even more cards with it.
🌲 A Woodland Window Christmas Card
To create today’s project, I paired the new Aspen Grove set with a retired favorite, Dashing Deer (#147728). The deer fit perfectly into the woodland scene and brought the entire design to life.
I chose a muted, natural color palette:
- Very Vanilla
- Crumb Cake
- Pecan Pie
- Early Espresso
- Mossy Meadow
- Touch of Cherry Cobbler (just enough to add color without breaking the rustic feel)
The tones stayed soft and woodsy—perfect for today’s “Woodland Wonderland” vibe.
🦌 The Window Card Technique
I wanted the deer to appear in full on the inside of the card, but only peeking through the trees from the front. The Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) worked beautifully to make this window opening.
Important tip:
I originally tried cutting four layers at once… and quickly found out that wasn’t going to happen! 😆
I ended up cutting two layers at a time and working my way through the stack. Much better results!
🌳 Texture & Finishing Touches
The Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder added amazing texture to the front panel. Once embossed, I used a Blending Brush to lightly add ink over the raised areas—making the grain pop and deepening the woodland feel.
To finish the design, I wrapped the card with Early Espresso and Old Olive Linen Thread (#165986). The natural fibers tied the whole rustic theme together perfectly.
🎁 What Do You Think?
I’m so excited about this new Aspen Grove set. It’s unique, natural, and incredibly inspiring—and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on it next month!
Are you excited to try this set for yourself?
I’d love to hear what you think of today’s sneak peek and window card!
