Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. Happy July!! Sorry I didn’t have a post yesterday, I was out the door very early to get to work so I could get all the statements done and mailed. There seemed to be more this month. It was another beautiful day here after a bad storm we had on Sunday. There was flooding all over in my town. It looked like a muddy pool between my backyard and my neighbors. I was watching to make sure the water didn’t come too close to the house. It came down so hard and so fast that the major highway up the road from me was flooded. Everything is good though; all the water is down and where it’s supposed to be.

I used a new Online Exclusive Bundle for today’s card that will be available to purchase starting tomorrow, YAY!!! And it’s a masculine card, which I always struggle with. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Frosted Forest Bundle along with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I adhered a panel of County Woods DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangle Die. I embossed the die cut panel using the Timber 3D EF.

On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the tall tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. Using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks, I added Pecan Pie Ink to the tree trunk using the Small Blending Brush. I used Granny Apple Green Ink for the other 2 Frosted Forest Masks for the treetop using the Small Blending Brush. I cut the tree out using the Frosted Forest Dies. On the same panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set 2 times in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the birds using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the birds out using the Frosted Forest Dies. I adhered the tree to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the panel 2 times and tied a bow. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the birds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic Beige, I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (available July 3rd) to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I stamped the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink by the sentiment and colored them using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tall tree image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card using the Frosted Forest Masks. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
