Thank You - Stampin' Up!'s Thoughtful Branches Bundle

Hi everyone and Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  I have a super simple card to share with you today using the Thoughtful Branches Bundle from Stampin' Up.  Remember, this bundle is only available this month while supplies lasts so make sure to pick it up!  Here's my card:

The colors are Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizazz, and Soft Suede.  I cut the dies out, then did some light shading in the center of the flower with Flirty Flamingo ink and a sponge dauber.  I heat embossed the thank you sentiment in gold embossing powder and added some gold metallic twine around it.  I also used the banner triple punch to cut out the banner shape.  Just a simple thank you card.  I just love this bundle!

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Have a fabulous day!

Inky Hugs,

Christine

Another Sneak Peek of Stampin' Up!'s Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Don't forget, Stampin' Up!'s Thoughtful Branches stamp set and coordinating Beautiful Branches die set are available for a limited time starting tomorrow, August 2nd. Also, don't forget, I'm offering a class on this bundle. I'm leaving the class open for registration until midnight EST tonight. You will LOVE this class, see below for my post and video regarding this class! Here's today's card using this bundle:

I just LOVE this bundle!  You can create images for all seasons.  For this card, I stamped the top of the tree in Pumpkin Pie.  Then, I used the "thumping technique" and took my Cherry Cobbler marker and thumped it onto the inked up image.  That created the mutli-color look to the tree.  I then cut it out with the coordinating framelits.  I also cut out the top of the tree with gold glimmer paper and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and layered them together with dimensionals.  That really makes the top of the tree pop! :)  I also added some rhinestones to the tree.  The base of the tree was cut out using the framelits.  I embossed the bottom underneath the tree with gold embossing powder and did the same for the sentiment.  I used the banner triple punch to create the flag shape.  I then crated the square card using Very Vanilla cardstock, gold glimmer paper, and Early Espresso cardstock.  This would make a lovely fall or Thanksgiving card.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Another Sneek Peek - Stampin' Up!'s Thoughtful Branches

Hi everyone and happy Thursday! One more day and then the weekend is here! I'm so looking forward to the weekend, I've been promised a lot of crafty time so I'm looking forward to it :) Today, I have another card to share using the Thoughtful Branches stamp set from Stampin' Up! One of the many awesome things about being a demonstrator is that we get to preorder amazing product. I preordered this amazing bundle and I simply cannot leave it alone. It's gorgeous and so easy and fun to work with. Here's todays' card:

One of the awesome things about this stamp set is its versatility.  If you look at some of my earlier posts, I created a tree.  Today, I created a beautiful hydrangea.  I stamped the flower in Sweet Sugarplum ink onto Sweet Sugarplum cardstock and then cut it out with the coordinating die.  I cut the flower part out again in Rich Razzleberry to put behind it.  I then cut the stem out using the die.  I ran some silver foil paper through the Big Shot with the brick wall embossing folder and then used some cardstock and DSP from the Brights collection.  I embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder and put some silver metallic thread behind it for a special touch.  Finally, I added some pearls to the flower.  What do you think?

Here is the full stamp set and coordinating die set:

These will be available to order on August 2nd.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day.

Inky Hugs,
