Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the last week of August. Can you believe August is just about over? It’s bittersweet for me, one part of me doesn’t want summer to end and the other can’t wait to wear cozy Sweaters & sweatshirts again.

I mixed a new stamp set with some older DSP for today’s card.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Photopolymer Stamp Set (available Sept 3rd) along with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #700

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #839

Adhere the book fold card base together on the inside between the 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″ score lines using Liquid Glue. Adhere a panel of Nests of Winter DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the left side of the Cherry Cobbler card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Blending Brush, add Lost Lagoon Ink to the panel of Nests of Winter DSP. Cut the panel into 4 squares using the 3rd largest Stylish Shapes Dies. Cut a panel of Lost Lagoon using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the 4 smaller die cut squares to the Cherry Cobbler card base. Cut a panel of Nests of Winter DSP and adhere it to the center of the Lost Lagoon die cut square. Adhere the layered square to the center of the 4 squares with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Tie a bow using the Gray Granite Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. Adhere the bow in the top right corner of the center layered square with a Glue dot. Stamp the sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Fussy cut the sentiment with snips. Adhere the sentiment over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to the branch in the bird’s beak.

Stamp the sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the branch image from the Branching Out stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the berry image from the Branching Out stamp set on the branch in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope for finish your card. Stamp the branch image from the Branching Out stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the berry image from the Branching Out stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the branch. Adhere a panel of Nests of Winter 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!!
