I can’t express enough how much I love the Forever Greenery Suite and how it is my favorite Suite. When I saw it in the catalog I knew it was a must have. I have done many YouTube videos before but today was my very first Live video on YouTube! This was the perfect stamp set to do my first video with.
I was reminded of a fantastic stamping “hack” that I had not used in a very long time (Thank you Donna Gray). I use to do this when I would create a ton of swaps for conventions. You always hear “stamp then die cut”, however in this hack you die cut first and this stamp set is perfect to use this hack. Die cut as many leaves as you want. They can be randomly all over your paper, however you want one die template to use once all of your pieces are cut (as seen below).
Once you are done cutting your pieces, lay your stamps into the cut areas and then close your Stamparatus to adhere the stamps. Now you can place each of your leaf cuts into their shape and then stamp. Keep in mind if you want to use different colors, you want to group the leaves together that will use the same ink color to help things move faster.
Below you can see that I did the multiple leaves and also some sentiment labels. Just create a template using these and you can pop them in and add different sentiments. The YouTube video below shows how I did this and the thought process when creating these cards. I knew which suite I wanted to use but didn’t really have a plan (Video not viewable in email).

Wonderful technique! When you die cut, how sis you get the pies placed precisely in the same place for multiple sheets of paper?
Hi Donna. On the video you can see that I cut a template out and leave that in the Stamparatus and then lay the leaf pieces inside the template. This makes the whole process much faster! I hope that helps.
