Usually I don’t make layouts before I have my photos, but I know that I will take several portrait (vertical) photos of our Christmas tree this year. I enjoyed making this layout at my November open studio crop with the Branching Out dies, Elegant Pines Snowflake DSP, and two retired stamp sets.
I love all the shades of green in this DSP (Designer Series Paper). It’s really nice to be “ahead” with this layout (while I ignore all the other projects I am behind on).
Secret Sea and the Peaceful Garden DSP add such richness to the Branching Out bundle!
I used Secret Sea, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Shaded Spruce, and Cloud Cover inks. I added die cuts with Peaceful Garden glimmer paper and Pecan Pie cardstock (colored with Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends).
I'm going to have a lot of fun playing with this combo at my open studio crop today! Join me if you're in the area!
This simple Branching Out bundle card uses only cardstock, ink, and stamps with a blending brush tool (and some pretty Faceted Snowflakes gems).
I used Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler cardstock with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, and Shaded Spruce inks.
The second card from my November card class used the pretty Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP as the focus with die cut accents from the Branching Out bundle.
The Merry Christmas is from the Calm & Bright kit (currently unavailable but will be back in stock).
Here is the Branching Out Christmas card with a masked blending technique (to add layers without bulk) that I made on last Thursday’s Facebook Live. (Did you know that my customers receive a PDF of instructions for each Thursday’s project? All you have to do is place an order with me at https://inkyscrapper.stampinup.net)
Don't forget to decorate the insides of your cards and the coordinating envelopes!
