Today I am working with a stamp set that will be available in August. It is called Thoughtful Branches.
When times are tough, it is comforting to know that people care about you and what is happening in your life. This card was created for exactly that type of situation.
Ginger's Snaps:
- 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Crumb Cake C.S. Cardbase
- 5-3/8" x 4-1/8" Real Red Mat
- 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" Kraft C.S. Mat
- Stamp the tree trunk from Thoughtful Branches with Soft Suede Ink.
- Stamp the foliage from Thoughtful Bramches with Garden Green Ink
- Stamp some apples from Thoughtful Branches with Real Red Ink on scraps of Kraft C.S. & fussy cut them. Pop up with pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals. Scatter a few around the base of the tree – pop up just one of these.
- Stamp the sentiment from Thoughtful Branches with Real Red Ink & cut with a Tags & Labels Framelit. Punch a hole in the tag & thread a narrow piece of Real Red C.S.through the hole. Angle cut the ends & tie a piece of Linen Thread in a bow around the card stock pull.
- Pop up the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Add Clear Wink of Stella to the right side of the apples. It gives the card a bit of bling with no extra bulk. Here's a closeup so you can see the shine.
- The inside of the card is also stamped with a sentiment from Thoughtful Branches with Real Red Ink. It is enclosed by a heart from You're So Sweet that is also stamped with Real Red Ink.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,
Ginger
Stampin' Up! Supplies Used:
Love the apples!
What a sweet card! Love the design, colors and sentiment! You do such great work.
Nice apples, I got a hint of Wink of Stella. Nice thought.
Oh you are the apple of my eye! Just kidding, this is so fun and yummy looking. Can you imagine the dessert you would get if you mixed the crumb cake with the cherry cobbler colors as well as the apples? Yes, I am hungry! You could vary the colors of the apples a bit with different reds but using the Wink of Stella works just fine and dandy for a little shine from the sun. The inside is such a sweet touch too! The mats are great too plus the little tag with the linen thread. Creates such interest and I just want to touch it. I love how everything is just so crisp looking. Speaking of varying the colors of red – you could do Golden Delicious and Granny Smith ones too but then would people know they are apples? Anyway, love it! Oh and I like the idea of the little piece of red cardstock though the opening on the tag. That is something I forget we can use instead of thread or ribbon! Kraft and Crumb Cake are both fun treats for the eyes instead of white or vanilla.
