Loveliest Tree - Emboss Resist Technique

 Hi friends!

I'm participating in another Bundle Bonus that goes live today. My project features Stampin' Up's Loveliest Tree stamp and die bundle.

Are you wondering what the Bundle Bonus is? Let me tell you about this inspiring program! When you purchase the featured bundle from me, I provide a bonus - all the inspiration you need to create with your new bundle. You get a pdf with lots of inspiring projects my demonstrator friends and I have created using the bundle - and many of them come with video tutorials. The pdf includes project photos, supply lists and measurements for each project.

This month we had 2 bundles to choose from - the Loveliest Tree bundle or the Adventurous Sky bundle. My project uses the Loveliest Tree stamp set and die bundle paired with the Nests of Winter designer series paper (DSP) and Birch Wood 3D embossing folder.

Loveliest Tree Bundle #163716

Nests of Winter DSP #164183

With this bundle I made this card using the Emboss Resist technique.

Loveliest Tree Fall Card - Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is "Season Where You Live". Since our hop participants come from North America and Australia there will be a variety of seasonal projects! Are you ready for some fabulous projects?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Shirley Merker's blog. What an fabulous project she shared!

It's fall in my neck of the woods and I'm was thinking ahead to Thanksgiving when creating my card. My card features the Loveliest Tree Dies which I paired with a sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set and paper from the Country Woods designer series paper (DSP) pack.

Loveliest Tree Dies #163715

Country Woods DSP #163393

I tried to capture the changing leaves that occur in fall. I die cut tree tops from Wild Wheat, Peach Pie, and Pumpkin Pie cardstock and used sponge daubers to add coordinating ink to each die cut. It brings color variation which I think makes them look more realistic. The backgound paper is from the Country Woods DSP pack; I used a different pattern for the tree trunk die cuts.

I stamped a sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on Lost Lagoon cardstock, then added a bit of Crumb Cake baker's twine. What do you think? Does this card invoke fall and it's changing leaf colors?

Leave me a comment letting me know your thoughts on this simple fall card.

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our projects feature items from the new 2024-2025 Annual catalog.

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project to inspire you. You may have arrived from Annette McMillan's blog. What an inspiring project she shared!

My project features the new Loveliest Tree stamp set and coordinating die bundle. This stamp set reminds me of the long retired Lovely as a Tree which at the time of its retirement was the oldest Stampin' Up stamp set. It was a favorite which is why I'm drawn to this bundle. As I recall, I used it to make many mascuine cards and sympathy cards.

Loveliest Tree die bundle #163716

Winter Meadow DSP #162133

I decided to create a sympathy card by stamping the tree image on the new Basic Beige cardstock in Pebbled Path. To create shadows in the tree, I stamped the tree in Pebbled Path then used Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends on the trunk (dark Crumb Cake) and the tree top (light Crumb Cake). I layered the tree over a piece of moody Winter Meadow designer series paper (DSP).
