The Branching Out bundle is retiring! Check out this fun fold card with video tutorial!

December 17, 2025

We made this card earlier this fall and I realize I haven’t shared it with you yet. I also made a video too – scroll down….

The colors include Pecan Pie with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Shaded Spruce. I used various wood-like designer series papers for the side panel. See how it has a double fold?

Also notice the ‘white’ snow on the pine boughs plus snow in the background. You can achieve that without heat embossing. We used White Craft ink and stamped over the pine. Easy & a fun accent!

The stamp set is retiring but the dies are not. The bundle is on the last chance list now. Click here to see it.
It’s been one of my favorite products in our Holiday catalog this year. It’s timeless and can be used for fall, winter or Christmas!

Besides the video tutorial here’s a free project sheet for you too. Click here to download or print it.

I’m glad the dies are not retiring but I have to say the stamp set is among my top 5 favorites!

Below is the video tutorial which gives you tips on stamping the branches with the pines and pine cones.

Last of the Team card swaps featuring new products

June 4, 2026

Today I’m sharing the last two swaps from May; our theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

This first card was made by Ginny. She cased a card made by Chelle Scott.

She used the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. Who doesn’t love ferns!? Stampin’ Up! did an awesome job on these dies.
The colors here are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Peaceful Pine.

Save

And look at that gorgeous embossing folder – called Fern & Flora 3D folder is stunning! See it here.

Next is a pretty card made by Paula who featured the Valley in Bloom Designer Paper.

Save

It’s a book binding card fold. Start with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base; score at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. Adhere the ‘binding’ area down.
Her colors include Blackberry Bliss with Granny Apple Green. She added some of the new 2026-28 In Color butterflies too.

This designer paper is simply stunning; it’s so soft and yet detailed at the same time. See it here.

Here’s what she did on the inside. The dies are so pretty!

Neat Diagonal Z-fold with Balloon Festoon; free project sheet too!

I created this card for my May Team swap; the theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.

I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.
