Three Cards, So Much Heart: With Love, A Little Hello & Peace

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.

Cutting Measurements

·        Peaceful Pine card base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

·        Basic White front panel: 5-1/4" x 4"

·        Basic White inside panel: 5-1/4" x 4"

·        Basic White sentiment label: Bordered in Beauty label die

·        Hydrangea Hue scallop strip: Bordered in Beauty scallop border die

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.

Supplies

Branched Out Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) (#168601); Prayers & Promises Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) (#167014); Golden Glow Classic Stampin' Pad (#167676); Golden Glow 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (#167685); Basic Beige 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (#164511); Tuxedo Black Memento Pad (#132708); Everyday Arches Dies (#164629); Basic Beige Linen Ribbon, about 18"; Stampin' Positioner, Sponge Daubers or Blending Brushes, Paper Snips, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Cutting Measurements

·        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.
