Hey there! Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for July! This month our theme is the Thoughtful Branches Bundle. We’re so excited to be able to show you these amazing BRAND NEW products that you can purchase on August 2, 2016!
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne, or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Carol Payne.
For my creation, I used a Crumb Cake Notecard & Envelope for a quick and easy card. I decided to just feature the stamp set, not the coordinating Beautiful Branches Framelits, because I know not everyone has a Big Shot and sometimes it’s hard to find cards that don’t use at least one element from it.
I used the Baby Wipe Technique to quickly ink the foliage of the tree with Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Always Artichoke. The stamps are created to fit together perfectly. This large foliage stamp has a “tab” on the bottom so you know which way to stamp so the tree trunk will fit inside!
I frayed the edges of 5/8″ Burlap ribbon to add behind the Copper-embossed, hand-cut sentiment. I stamped-off the Cajun Craze leaf on scrap paper before stamping on the Very Vanilla, rubbed it with the Embossing Buddy to make sure the ink was dry, stamped the sentiment with Versamark, sprinkled with Copper Embossing Powder, and heated with my Heat Tool. I hand-cut the sentiment with my Paper Snips, leaving a bit of vanilla edge for smoothness.
Inside I used one of my favorite Bible verses, Isaiah 41:10, a verse from God’s word that always speaks to my heart!
