Greetings!
I always enjoy paging through the catalogs to help get my creative juices flowing. That's what makes the catalogs so wonderful. Not only do they feature all the products available for purchase, but they also provide a multitude of beautiful samples for you to gather inspiration from. Whether you find a color combination you fall in love with, a layout or a technique, it's all there for you to use. Today's card is a shameless CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) from the Sept-Dec 2023 mini catalog featuring the Medley Mix stamp set and coordinating Inked & Tiled Punch pack shown on page 57.
This is a great stamp set! It has wonderful stamps with different textures, cute shapes to match the coordinating punches and a fun font to top it off. I'll admit, when I first saw this punch pack in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog I wasn't drawn to it. Then I got to use them a couple weeks ago while working with my friend Dawn on cards she was making, and saw the light! This punch pack really is two very versatile shapes and with the Medley Mix stamp set you have all kinds of ways to use them together to create a whole bunch of fun cards.
I love this card! It is such a fun mix of shapes and the background print from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP) perfectly compliments the prints in the All About Autumn Designer Series Papers (DSP) which are what I used for two of the "X" shapes. The Gorgeously Made dies have just the right shape to provide the greenery for this card, and the Adhesive-backed Speckled Dots provide some additional pizzazz to a card design filled with texture galore.

Here's How It's Made:
Ink dash outline "X" stamp with Pretty Peacock, stamp onto Lost Lagoon cardstock, re-ink and stamp one more "X", punch each "X" out.
*To avoid stretching or changing the shape of Photopolymer stamps when applying to clear blocks, lay the stamp image side down onto work surface, then press block onto smooth back of stamp. This allows you to adhere to clear block while maintaining the shape of the stamp, as with the "X" for this card.
Punch two "X's" from copper/Pretty Peacock/Mossy Meadow on white DSP print. Notice how I positioned punch on DSP so center of "X" is aligned with starburst shape on print. Arrange on Pretty Peacock DSP panel as shown in photo below, adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals:
Position XXXXXX stamp and -------- stamp onto a block together, with x's above dashes. Ink stamp combo with Pretty Peacock and stamp 3-4 times on Pretty Peacock DSP panel, re-inking in between each application.
Die cut Basic White cardstock with 1-3/4" stylish circle die, then emboss with Crosshatch 3D embossing folder. Die cut Mossy Meadow cardstock with Gorgeously Made large open leaf die. Adhere Basic White die cut/embossed circle over center of X's, then adhere Mossy Meadow die cut onto circle.
Ink "Thanks" with Pretty Peacock, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, die cut with smallest Stylish Shapes banner die. Adhere to Copper Clay 3/8" Textured Ribbon, then adhere to Basic White circle.
Tie knot in Lost Lagoon 1/4" Bordered Ribbon, adhere below "Thanks" label with a mini glue dot.
Embellish card with large and small Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay Speckled Dots.
