Thoughtful Branches

Thoughtful Branches is a versatile stamp set with matching framelits, which Stampin' Up!®
released for sale during August. What is great is that the stamp set can stand alone if finances can't stretch to purchasing the bundle, and I have found it suitable for birthdays, sympathy cards and even Christmas cards.

This birthday card borrowed a sentiment from Butterfly Basics and a generous splattering of gold Wink of Stella. You can spy the Sweet Sugarplum glitter ribbon which is coming in the Holiday catalogue, 1st September. Loved using the stamp to colour the tree leaves in all different pretty colours.

 For the 'thank you' card I used the Moroccan Designer Series Paper behind, to showcase the glorious colours in that suite. The sentiment is included in the Thoughtful Branches stamp set, along with a lovely 'Thinking of You' and others.




Again, it was just so easy to 'pull' colours from the paper to use on the foliage of this trio of trees. Aren't the colours so rich and luscious, totally like those gorgeous tiles all through that part of the world. The Burlap ribbon adds another earthy touch to this card.

You have about a week to check out this stamp set before the offer ends on August 31st. I do have a sneaky suspicion that Thoughtful Branches might reappear in a future catalogue because it has been so popular, but then again......
Don't forget, if you're making an order through my online shop, it will ask for the HOSTESS Code before you check out. August 21st - Spetember 20th it is P2KYFUU9
