Many samples with the Autumn Greetings bundle
I hope that some of these samples inspire you to give this set a try. It is so pretty for this time of year, and the sentiments are great too!
The dies for this set are great! I love the edge dies. They really add some pretty elements to my cards. I also really like the wheat stalks. I have gotten a lot of use out of those!
I made a video so that I could show how to make a few of these cards step by step, and also so I can point out a few details about the stamps and dies.
I really liked this sample from the August /December catalog. It is in the back of the catalog and easy to miss, so I wanted to make it and point it out. They've used a 'cards and envelopes' pack that has those pretty gold details along the sides and corners. I will list those in the supplies section. I used Stampin' Blends to color in the image and it looks really great. I was a little worried that the amount of detail in this stamp would make it difficult but it wasn't and it was fun to color.
For this sample I used the watercolor pencils. The look here is softer than the Blends. I stamped the image in Saddle Brown Stazon ink to start, then colored the image in with the pencils.
For this sample I wanted to show that you can use that large image stamp without having to color it all in! Here it is just stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock with Crumb Cake ink. I also want to point out the pretty edge die from the Autumn Essentials dies. Love that! I also used the pumpkin dies.
After I made the Crumb Cake inked one I thought I would make an embossed image version too so I used all the papers that were out on my desk to create these versions. Which do you prefer? The gold and Peacock or the gold and Razzleberry?
Here's another one based on a sample from the catalog. This card uses the other edge die.
Did you see those plaid papers?! These are amazing. The pack is 6x6 and you get 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double sided designs. The plaids will carry you through the Fall/Winter season but many will be great for Valentines, masculine cards and more.

Sunrise Wheat Field
I love to paint and I often spend time using my stamping supplies as paint supplies, painting with my ink pads rather than get out my paints. The ink pads are right there on my desk and are fantastic to watercolor with, and I think I can honestly say that I paint something or other at least 5 days a week. I recently watched a tutorial online from Let's Make Art and we did a Wheat Field. It was super fun and I loved the look and I right away decided to make it into a card. I wanted the card to use stamps for the images because it would be easier to mass produce and it would be something I could share with my customers who might not want to try to free hand the wheat stalks. I searched my stamps and found that the Gather Together stamp set was perfect for this card. There are some nice sentiments as well as that wheat stalk. 
Each card comes out a little bit different from the next and it is so fun to just watch the ink bleed into the paper and create this pretty sunrise, or maybe sunset! not sure!! But I am sure that it is beautiful!
Here is a video how to that shows you how to create this card step by step.
I would like to show you the painting that inspired the card. Hope you like it as well!

Adorable Hedgehog card!
I started by first making a card pretty much copied right out of the catalog, but then I branched out and made a whole bunch more!
This video shows you several of the cards I came up with, as well as how to make them.
I really enjoyed playing around with this cute stamp set. I made sure to use all of the images and most of the sentiments. I made some very simple and some with a little more work. I hope you enjoy them! Which do you like the best?
