In love with Thoughtful Branches


Hello Friends -

Yesterday I mentioned that there is a new exclusive stamp set coming, and I am having such fun using it.

The set is called Thoughtful Branches and it comes with coordinating Framelits that are awesome!
The set will be available August 2 - Aug 31 (or while supplies last)

I started using it last night, and I am having trouble putting it down! I am in LOVE!


Here is another card I made. I have been so inspired by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators. There are so many creative samples with this set. This card was inspired by the crazy talented Amy O'Neill. You can see her original card here.


This came together quickly! I simply watercolored the background using a paintbrush and some re-inkers in Pool Party and Old Olive Inks. Once it dried, I stamped and die cut the tree and apples. 
I used some of Stampin' Up!s gold thread to make a bow and adhered it to the tree trunk. I love the watercolor background!

Coming Soon - Thoughtful Branches





 Brand New! Exclusive, Limited Time Bundle. Aug 2 - Aug 31
 (or while supplies last)


Thoughtful Banners Photopolymer Stamp Set and Framelits!



I just received my preorder, and spent last night inking it up. It is such a great set! The framelits are easy to use (hint: you will want the precision plate to make it easy to remove the detailed images from the framelit). 

Here is the first card I made with this set! I was inspired by my sweet friend Kimberly VanDiepen. She's pretty amazing all around, but she's over the top with stamping! You can check out her card and blog here.  

This card is clean, easy and super cute! I just love the font on the greetings. 





I will be sharing several new projects as we count down to August 2nd, 
the day you can order!
