Hello, friends! I have three finished cards to share today, and they all started with the same lovely stamp set: Branched Out Messages. I love seeing how a change of color, texture, and sentiment can give one set three very different personalities.
There’s a leafy With Love card, a soft pink A Little Hello
with a matching envelope, and a golden Peace card for a thoughtful note of
encouragement. Below you’ll find the supplies, cutting measurements, and
complete steps for each one. Choose your favorite and enjoy a little creative
time!
With Love: Two-Tone Leaves & a Little Purple
Fresh green leaves, little Hydrangea Hue flowers, and a
scalloped edge make this one feel like a hug in an envelope. The two-tone
branch is the little detail that brings the greenery to life.

How to Make It
1. Fold and burnish the Peaceful Pine card base.
2. Place the Basic White front panel in the Stampin'
Positioner. Ink the large greenery stamp in Granny Apple Green and stamp it
from the lower left corner upward.
3. Without moving the paper, sponge Peaceful Pine onto the
leaf tips on the stamp and stamp a second time for a crisp two-tone look.
4. Stamp the small flowers in Hydrangea Hue among the
leaves.
5. Sponge Granny Apple Green lightly around the edges of the
panel.
6. Stamp "with love" in Peaceful Pine on Basic
White and die cut it with the Bordered in Beauty label die.
7. Die cut the scallop strip from Hydrangea Hue and tuck it
behind the bottom of the label.
8. Tie a small Linen Thread bow and attach it to the left
end of the label.
9. Stamp the inside Basic White panel to match and adhere it
inside the card.
10. Adhere the front panel to the base, then pop up the
label with Stampin' Dimensionals, off center to the right.
11. Finish with a few Pearls of Beauty near the leaves.
Crafting tip:
Keep the paper in the same position for the second impression. That lets the
darker leaf tips line up with your first stamped image.
A Little Hello: Embossed Texture & a Matching Envelope
Sometimes a simple hello is all someone needs. Barely Blush
texture, Strawberry Slush accents, and a pretty circle frame give this card a
sweet, cheerful feel. A stamped envelope makes the happy mail begin before the
card is even opened.

Peace: Golden Leaves & a Gentle Message
For a quieter card, I paired Golden Glow leaves with a Basic
Beige arch and linen ribbon. The leafy background comes from Branched Out
Messages; the verse stamp is from Prayers & Promises.

Cutting Measurements
·
Golden Glow card base: 5-1/2" x
8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
·
Golden Glow front panel: 4" x 5-1/4"
·
Basic Beige arch: Everyday Arches die, about
2-1/4" x 3-1/2"
·
Basic Beige Linen Ribbon: about 18" total
How to Make It
1. Fold and burnish the Golden Glow card base.
2. Place the Golden Glow front panel in the Stampin'
Positioner. Ink the large leaf branch from Branched Out Messages in Golden Glow
and stamp it in one corner.
3. Turn the front panel 180 degrees and stamp the opposite
corner for a tone-on-tone leaf background.
4. Gently distress the panel edges with your Paper Snips,
then sponge Golden Glow ink around the edges.
5. Adhere the front panel to the card base.
6. Die cut the arch from Basic Beige with the Everyday
Arches Dies.
7. Stamp the Prayers & Promises verse in Tuxedo Black
Memento near the top of the arch, then stamp the small flowers in Golden Glow
above and below it.
8. Wrap the Basic Beige Linen Ribbon around the front and
tie a knot over the arch, using about 18" in total.
9. Pop up the arch in the center of the card with Stampin'
Dimensionals.
Crafting tip: The
arch measurement is approximate, just as it is in my tutorial. Use the Everyday
Arches die for the shape rather than treating those dimensions as a rectangle
to cut.
