11.18.2025…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! I love adding lots of layers and texure to my cards projects, and I thought the Branching Out Bundle would be just perfect for this card. I also haven’t used Pretty Peacock in awhile, and I love the colorful contrast that it added to this card. Hope this card inspires you to create a project, using a few extra layers, and a color combo that you haven’t used lately!
For this card, I started with Pretty Peacock Cardstock, embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder. I then tore off the bottom edge, and used a Water Painter (along with White Craft Ink) to add some splattering. After I dried the paper with a Heat Tool, I added to two colors of the Country Woods DSP underneath the bottom edge, and popped up the entire panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then cut out a label from Basic White Thick Cardstock (using one of the Branching Out Dies), embossed it with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder (retired), and popped it up with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To create the branches, I used Blending Brushes to add Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon, and Mossy Meadow to Basic White Thick Cardstock. Next, I used a Water Painter to splatter water droplets. After I dried the paper with a Heat Tool, I used one of the Branching Out Dies to cut out several branches. To create the pinecones, I sanded the Earthen Tone Metallic Specialty Paper with a nail buffing block, then cut out the pinecones with one of the Branching Out Dies.
The sentiment (from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set) was heat-embossed on Gray Granite Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and White Embossing Powder. To create the bow, I used Balmy Blue 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon and Mossy Meadow & Gold 1/4″ Ribbon, both cut in half lengthwise. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Faceted Gems and Iridescent Foil Gems.
