I played with my NEW Stampin’ UP! Aspen Grove stamp set with the Stampin’ UP! Prayers & Promises stamp set!
I LOVE IT!!!!

To be truthful, I thought the trees were one large stamp at first but a closer glance showed me that the trees are all individual trees. I did a little researching, and I found out…a lot about Aspen trees. Check out this SITE. They are amazing trees- largest living organism in the world. Seriously, take a minute to read about them. I decided to make mine fall trees since the Aspen trees provide a lot of the beautiful gold you see in the fall. My color is Darling Duckling which I must say is not Crushed Curry or Daffodil Delight but its own yellow:) I did a little masking to get the blue behind the trees. I lined up my trees on grid paper to know how they would fit on my paper- 3-3/4″ x 5″ to be bordered with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ black piece, then I just plopped my block on top and they became one big stamp for me.

I stamped the image on scrap white and stamped some leaves to see how they looked and then cut them out to lay over the trees (masking) to keep the trees white while I blended on some Balmy Blue ink. Thanks to the SU catalog for suggesting that- I may have forgotten to do that!

I repeated the technique on the inside with another sentiment from the Stampin’ UP! Prayers & Promises stamp set. We all need those sentiments more than we would like.

I am featuring the NEW Stampin’ UP! Prayers & Promises in the January 2026 Busy Bee Bag along with a fantastic NEW Die set called Beautifully Created Dies.
The January 2026 Busy Bee Bag will feature the
NEW Prayers & Promises Stamp Set
and the Beautifully Created Dies
from the New January-April 2026 Mini Catalog coming out on January 6, 2026
along with some gorgeous goodies I have planned
to be in your included Product in the Busy Bee Bag!
We all need “comforting sentiments” for sympathy, get well, and encouragement sentiments, and the Prayers & Promises has all that!

The NEW Beautifully Created Dies are a great label set to add to your toolbox:)
They are bundled with a Wedding Set (p. 24)
but they are so versatile to use with every stamp set you have!!!
I love the corner dies that cut two at a time!

You can add on the stamps or the dies with no shipping/tax… so many options for you.
Every Busy Bee Bag has a VIDEO and a PDF of the Written Instructions with photos included along with 8 card/envelope kits for $45. I include $22-$25 worth of quality Stampin’ UP! Products like DSP, embellishments, ribbons, and other fun crafting items with A LOT left over for future crafting!
Kit supplies are purchased the day of the registration deadline
and mailed out approximately the 19th of that month
with the VIDEO/PDF Tutorial coming a few days later.
I DESIGN THE CARDS SO THAT YOU CAN USE THEM WITH ANY STAMP SET YOU ALREADY HAVE IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE THE BUNDLE BUT…
If you add on the featured stamps/dies/punch,
I include them in your Busy Bee Bag with free shipping/tax on them!
YOU CAN EVEN SUBSTITUTE
ANOTHER STAMP AND/OR DIE OR BUNDLE of the same value.
