How does your garden grow?

There are many great new stamps, tools, and embellishments in the Holiday Catalog so I don't know where to begin.  Since I am not in the Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas mood YET, I will start with the probably one of my favorite stamp sets that SU! has ever offered.  The stamp set is Perfectly Preserved and it is the most versatile jar, fruit, and flower set I have used in a long time.  What makes it even better are the framelits dies that compliment the stamp set.  That's right, you don't have to cut out, by hand, any of the images! Love, Love!  SU! even offers you 15% off if buy both the dies and stamp set. 

Below are two similar cards I created with the stamp set and the framelits dies.  One is more visually clean while the other has a more vintage feel.  I was inspired by the card sample on page 29 of the Holiday Catalog. These cards use many new items from this catalog.

Framelits Dies: Window Frames Collection, Cannery Set, and Bitty Banners
Ink: Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple
