Thoughtful Branches Four Seasons

Last night was my Thoughtful Branches Class.
We made a four seasons framed art.
Everyone was thrilled with their finished project.

I had lots of help on designing this one.
My sister, Tina Rappe, designed her projects first.
I loved her ideas — I went searching on Google and Pinterest
to see what different ideas were floating around in cyber space.
I put different combinations together to create my finished picture.
Thoughtful Branches Framed Art
We covered all four seasons.
Spring — Hydrangea with Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate
cut out two flower pieces — one is stamped — stack with dimensionals
Brick Wall embossing folder
SummerSeaside Shore stamp set, Dapper Denim, Calypso Coral and Soft Sky
Seaside embossing folder
I love how the top of the tree framelit makes fabulous coral
Fall — Gorgeous Grunge stamp set helps with “falling” leaves
Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Delightful Dijon and Crumb Cake
stamp pumpkin with Pumpkin Pie — cut out with framelit
attach to a Pumpkin Pie Oval (to fill in so you don’t have holes)
stamp pumpkin handle (tree) on Crumb Cake
Winter — Soft Suede, Real Red, Very Vanilla

We just found out that this stamp set and thinlit will continue to be available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, so if you didn’t already order it, you still have some time to get that order placed.

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home — I love this saying and everyone's "home" is different.
Today's "home" is a coffin filled with Halloween treats.
It's a sneak peek from the Holiday Catalog — that means brand new product.
I saw this cutie on a display table at a demonstrator event this past weekend.
I can't wait to make one of my very own.

Home Sweet Home
I can't wait to make one of my very own.
It uses a brand new thinlit — Home Sweet Home.
Oh, the fun you can make with this framelit set.
This coffin can be a gingerbread house, a Halloween house
or even just a plain neighborhood house.
For our coffin she used Black cardstock to cut out the house pieces — no windows cut out.
She didn't seal the house shut — that gives the top of the coffin.
She added a piece of window sheet to cover the candy inside.
She then used another new item — the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set to
stamp Dracula and color in with markers.
There is even a punch to punch him out — so awesome.

I just loved how this looks and can't wait for you to
design so many of your own houses.

I can't share my online store for these items yet — you can start ordering them on Thursday, Sept. 1st!!!

Serene Thoughtful Branches

Have you ordered your Thoughtful Branches bundle yet?
You only have today and tomorrow to place that order.
This beautiful bundle won't be available on Thursday.
I have a class tomorrow night and we are going to
make a wonderful four season 11" x 14" framed art piece.
You have to have the bundle to recreate it (I'm a couple other stamp sets too).
Wait until you see it — I'll post that on Thursday but the bundle will no longer be available.

Today I'm sharing a gorgeous card made using the Thoughtful Branches bundle and the
Serene Scenery designer paper stack.  This paper is fabulous — it looks like a photo.
I swear you could put some of the papers in a frame by itself — it is that wonderful.
Any — here is the card.
Scenic Branches
Very sweet & simple to make.
Stamp the "ground" several times right on the designer paper.
Ink the leaf stamp with Old Olive and stamp — clean — ink again with Crushed Curry.
Cut out two tree with the framelit — both from Tip Top Taupe cardstock — sponge edges.
Cut out tree top from Crushed Curry cardstock — sponge edge.
Assemble card.

See I told you it was sweet & simple.
