Love that stamp set! It looks super useful and versatile. Fantastic find!
Have you decided what you want the card to say? If not, you might want to decide on a sentiment first. You have the makings of "Have a cozy fall," but you'd need to find a sentiment stamp from another set that says "Have a", or you'd need an alpha stamp or letter stickers to finish the thought. But there are lots of other directions you could take it in...
Is there a coordinating die to use with the stamps? If so, I'd just stamp a bunch of them in different colors and on different papers, then cut them out and mess around with layering the die cuts together and making clusters with them.
If there isn't a die, I'd grab a small circle die, or a circle stencil, a marker and scalloped scissors. Stamp the stamps and then cut them out with a circle, oval or other shaped die that's just slightly larger than the stamped image. Then mess around with layering the stamped images together with other dies and embellishments -- perhaps stickers, washi tapes, enamel dots, pearls, whatever you happen to have in your stash that looks like it would be pretty with those stamps.
If you use a planner or paper calendar, those small stamps would also be perfect for decorating your planner / calendar pages.

kmageWhat about blocks on a card with autumn colors and the stamps using black ink. You could stamp the 2 pumpkins, knitting, coffee, and 2 leaves and then also stamp the cozy and autumn words and on the inside say May your find warmth this autumn by doing what you love. Or whatever.

amysolovay and pantsonfire thank you both! These are great ideas. I thought about fussy cutting them, (they do not have a die, I wish!) but they are so small. Blocking will work better.

Couple ideas. Use the two leaves to create a wreath , Gina K style. You might be able to use the butterfly too that way. Play around stamping with them Heidi Swap style, in layers. Most of those images would be greate for background stamping and you can really use them all year round. Cup+key- valentine'sday, butterfly, leaves springandsummer, knitting- winter- it would be cute with a sweater embossing folder and some sweaterdie cuts. I made this card with lots of small images and colored them . I imagine stamping cozy fall in the middle than some images above it and some on the bottom. I hope all this makes sense. http://instagram.com/p/CU81mQ2peNl |
