I used the new Stamping Up! Branching Out Bundle along with the new Online Exclusive Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder (both items will be available Sept 3rd) and the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper for my card today.
These are our colors for this week.
Emboss Basic White card front using the Gathering Leaves EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie mat with Liquid Glue. Adhere 2 panels of Floral Impressions DSP to coordinating Pecan Pie mats with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base with Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. Using the smallest Branching Out Dies, cut the top portion of the sentiment. Move the die to the desired size, matching up the dashes, and cut the bottom portion of the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White.
