I see some gorgeous cards in the gallery using this set. It appears to me though that most of the cards made with this set are not "simple" cards to make. As a beginner stamper, am I better off staying away from this set until I get more experience with different techniques, or should I jump right in and purchase it?
It was one of the first sets I got. When I saw the set I was reminded of the song "Sheltering Tree" and HAD to have it. I made cards right away for my friends who have been my "sheltering tree". Then it is awesome for masculine cards and for autumn. OH I could go on. I really like this set. Can you tell? Ha!
IT's a great starter set as, by its very nature, you can use it all year round! You don't even have to colour it - just stamp it in green for spring/summer, brown for autumn and blue for winter. I love it!

PS: Never come on this site thinking we'll save you money. The question "should I get..." is nearly always answered with several dozen resounding cries of "yes!!!"
I don't have this set......but it's definitely on my wishlist now after seeing all the beautiful cards here on SCS. It looks very versatile, too. I think you should get it now!! HAAA!

Thanks for all the great answers, ladies. And you are right, I wouldnt dream of coming onto this website to save money, lol!!! It is just wonderful to have a place like this to ask questions and get wonderful answers and look at all the great cards that you talented ladies have made! I've been scrapbooking for about 2 years now and stamping since August or so. I love it. I just wish I had more money to get everything I wanted! This set will be a definite on my list for tomorrow night! Thanks again!
No- don't wait! This is a really easy set to use. Great results with little effort.
And Jeanne should know, because her Lovely As A Tree cards are legendary.
I ordered Lovely As a Tree because of the beautiful cards she makes with this set.
This set is probably one of the easiest of all to use as it looks gorgeous just plainly stamped, but you can do as little or as much to this set as you feel comfortable with.
I love this set and bought it a long time ago. You can make some very simple manly cards with it. I will stamp the multiple tree one on glossy with Versamark, emboss with irradescent ice, and roll over it with a blue spectrum pad. Looks like sparkling winter trees. So easy!
Lovely as a tree is my all time favourite set- awesome for masculine birthdays, thinking of you- and to use for sympathy cards- you can use the chalks with it- the watercolour pencils- I have done one card- i stamp it and then use the two way glue pen and glitter- love it! Yep- my favourite set and the most versatile set you can get!!
