Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Pretty Get Well Card

I was looking through the papers from the Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper Pack and came across this pretty flower print in the pack and had to design a card around this paper…so pretty!

I started off with a white panel and adhered a piece of the designer series paper to the bottom of the panel. I then adhered a strip of Garden Green cardstock across the seam between the white panel and designer series paper. I stamped and die cut the multi-flower image from the Seasonal Branches Stamp Set in Bubble Bath ink. The centers of the flowers were colored with the dark shade of a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with the designer series paper.

I also die cut multiple leaves from Garden Green cardstock and a large branch in Pecan Pie cardstock. The sentiment label was stamped in Garden Green ink and I used the 2″ Circle Punch to cut out the sentiment label.

A blending brush was used to lightly blend Balmy Blue ink onto the upper white portion of the panel. The panel was then adhered to the card front. The branch was adhered to the upper portion of the card (over the ink blended area) and the flowers were adhered over top of the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The small leaves were tucked in around the flowers. The sentiment label was adhered onto the lower right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and I added a Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon bow to the left side of the label.

Did you notice the ribbon in the photo above? There is silver stitching down the edges of the ribbon! This ribbon comes in Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon. I can tell I’ll be using these a lot!

On the inside panel I stamped the single flower multiple times in Bubble Bath ink. The centers were colored with a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend. Leaves in Garden Green were added around the flowers. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

A single flower and several leaves were stamped onto the lower corner of the envelope front and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was added to the envelope flap. Several pink Tinsel Gems were added to the card front to finish up the card. The Tinsel Gems (four-pack or three-pack) are beautiful and have a little extra sparkle!

I have highlighted the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Sheer Ribbon and Tinsel Gems…these will be some of my new “go-to’s”, but the Seasonal Branches Bundle is equally awesome and I can’t wait to create more cards with this set.

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches Get Well Card – Sneak Peek!

I have another sneak peek for you from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! I used the versatile Seasonal Branches Bundle to create my card for today. The Seasonal Branches Bundle (stamps and dies) contains images that will take you from Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall…how fun!

Using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed a white panel then matted this panel to a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. A small rectangle sky-looking print measuring 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ from the Fresh as a Daisy 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack was then matted to another piece of Pecan Pie cardstock measuring 4″ x 2″. The panels were offset to one another and adhered towards the top of the white embossed panel.

Using the flower cluster stamp from the Seasonal Branches Stamp Set, I stamped the image in Bubble Bath ink onto white cardstock. I used the dark shade of Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blen d to flick some darker color onto each flower petal and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend was used to create dots at the centers of each flower. I also stamped and die cut some single flowers in Bubble Bath on white cardstock and die cut. These single flowers were colored the same way with Stampin’ Blends. A large tree branch was cut from Pecan Pie cardstock as were some small leaves cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.

The die cut tree branch was adhered to the offset rectangles on the embossed panel and I carefully adhered the die cut flower cluster over the tree branch using Mini Glue Dots. The single flowers were adhered around the tree branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also adhered some of the small Lemon Lime Twist leaves to the tree branch and curled up the tips of the leaves to add some dimension. FYI – Lemon Lime Twist makes for a fantastic spring green!

A sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto a coordinating piece of DSP and matted to a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. The sentiment label and its mat are also offset and mimic the rectangles at the top of the card! A single flower and leaves were adhered to the upper corner of the sentiment label and the label was adhered to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A length of Lemon Lime Twist ribbon was wrapped around the right side of the embossed panel and I tied a bow. The embosed and matted panel was adhered to the front of a Boho Blue cardbase.

On the inside panel I stamped a get-well sentiment using Pecan Pie ink. The tree branch, flowers and leaves were stamped onto the lower left corner of the panel and I adhered several additional die cut leaves around the branch. The panel was adhered to a mat in Pecan Pie and then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same tree branch, flowers and leaves were stamped onto the envelope front and a coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. The card front was adorned with several blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

I can tell you that I will be using the Seasonal Branches Bundle quite a bit just because there are so many possibilities with the set! You might want to add this one to the top of your shopping list!
