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.

Peace on Earth

I know it’s still August but I am preparing for the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.
We can start ordering from it on Thursday — woohoo!!!
To get you ready I thought I would share a card with you that uses supplies
that are in the Annual Catalog — yes you can start preparing for the holidays with stamp sets that you may already have.  This card is clean and simple.  It was a swap card from an event I attended this past weekend.  I didn’t find a name on the swap so I’m sorry I can’t give credit to the designer. 
Peace on Earth
She used the Softly Falling embossing folder for the background.
The stamping is done with the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and Night of Navy ink.
She cut out Peace using the Christmas Greetings Thinlits.
Don’t you love the “On Earth” banner?  That was cut out using the Bunch of Banners framelits.  And don’t forget the finishing touch — Rhinestones — one in the center of the snowflake and a couple scattered on the card front.

Shaker Bees

Here is the final card we did at my Stamp of the Month Class.
We used the bees from the Shooting Star stamp set and made a
shaker card — so cute.

Daffodil Delight layer
Irresistibly Floral designer paper — I used the
Sponge Brayer and Daffodil Delight ink rolled over the paper — so cool.

I just love these little bees inside.
