Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and what better way to create a ‘love themed’ card than to add two adorable birds (Love Birds) to a branch (Tree Branch die) and add a bunch of beautiful flowers! I absolutely love this branch die because it has a lovely shape and is long enough to stretch across your card design. I discovered that it is a perfect fit for the Wonky Windows Dies. You get so much more use out of your stash when you mix and match old and new products!

The branch die inspired me to choose for a mini slimline card today. I created a simple white card base and used a die from my stash to cut the beautiful blue heart paper from Flirty Flowers. Next, I cut out the trio of Wonky Windows twice, once from the blue paper and once from a white sheet of card stock that I had embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

After gluing the heart design paper to my card base, I popped in the three wood grain windows which fitted like puzzle pieces. I stamped two adorable birdies from the Love Birds set and colored them with my Copics in bright blues and corals. This is such a fun color combo for Spring.

The big branch (Tree Branch die) was also cut from the wood grain paper to give that realistic texture. I needed lots of leaves from the same die set and also a bunch of flowers from the Spring Garden dies. All of them were colored with the same alcohol markers as the birds.

The sentiment was selected from the Love Birds set and stamped onto a small white strip with a red ink from my stash. The branch was glued across the trio of wonky windows as a base for the whole design. I mounted the birds and some flowers with foam tape. After adhering the sentiment strip I sprinkled a few coral hearts from the Red Heart Mix Drops.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello friends! Leanne here and today I'm sharing an easy to make birthday card. I've created an outdoor scene featuring two sweet birdies and their neighboring houses hanging from a tree branch. 

Now of course my branch and birdhouse scene first needed a pretty sky background. I used the Fluffy Cloud Border dies to cut masks for creating some soft billowy clouds with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.  

Next I used the Tree Branch and Build-a-Birdhouse die sets for the branches, birdhouses, and little birds. I die cut all the pieces from white card stock. I used small blending brushes and the following Distress Oxide inks to color: Blueprint Sketch, Tattered Rose, Rustic Wilderness, Crushed Olive, Kitsch Flamingo, Wild Honey, and Walnut Stain. I added all the die cut elements onto the background with thin foam adhesive so they all would be popped up a bit. 

For the birthday sentiment I used stamps from the Little Birdie stamp set. There's separate words and short phrase stamps in this set. That made it easy to customize a birthday greeting and integrate it into the scene in three places.  Lastly, I trimmed the completed scene panel down to be slightly smaller than A2 size and adhered it to a pale yellow card base.

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a vertical A2 sized card that features the new Tree Branch Die Set along with the previously released, adorable Little Birdie Stamps Set. 

I first stamped my birds and birdhouse onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then used Copic Markers to color them. (Birds: G000, G00, BG34, BG75; Birdhouse: RV00, RV10, RV63, BG90; Eggs: 0, C00, C1). Once I finished coloring, I then used the coordinating Little Birdie Die Set to cut them out.

For my background sky, I blended some pink inks from the Pinkfresh Fairy Dust Ink Cubes Set (Sparkling Rose and Ballet Slipper) onto a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of smooth white card stock. I started with my darker pink at the top and worked my way toward my lighter color pink near the bottom. To add some texture and interest to my background, I also splattered some diluted Copic Opaque White Paint as well as added a few pink dots from some pink Copic Markers (RV63, RV00). Once dry, I then trimmed this piece to 4" x 5.25" and layered it onto a standard A2 sized white card base.

I then die cut two branches from white card stock using the Tree Branch Die. I die cut the leaves from both light green and dark green card stock pieces and adhered them to my card base with liquid adhesive. Next, I stamped my sentiment with black ink. Lastly, I adhered my stamped images with 3D foam adhesive tape to allow them to slightly pop-up from my card base.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hi, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I have a card to share that features the Tree Branch Dies along with other products.

As I so often do, I started at the back and worked forwards. To that end I die cut pink cardstock using the Bursting Hearts Die and popped out all of the hearts and layered the piece on top of a white A2 panel and then glued to my card base. I took another white A2 panel and die cut using the Comic Strip Everyday Die and I snipped out the divisions to leave a skinny frame.  This was backed with foam tape and applied to the heart background. I die cut a circle from the same pink cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Lovey Dovey, this was also applied with foam tape.

I die cut two tree branches from white cardstock using the Tree Branch Dies and coloured with Copic markers. I also stamped the birds and blooms from Love Birds using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa, and die cut using the coordinating dies. Here are the Copic colours used:

Branches - E44, E42, E31, E41
Leaves - B04, B12, G40, G20
Birds - B04, B12, B41, BG70, Y17, YR31
Blushes and Blooms - R85, R83, R81

A white gel pen was used to highlight a few points then the  branches and birds were applied with foam tape and leaves and blooms glued in their positions and with that ... the card was complete!

Thanks for stopping by to read the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new.

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm back with another example of how you can find inspiration among your cards/projects. Last week, I showed you that you can create the same background (or almost) on two cards but have different images and different themes on each card. Well, for today's card, I was inspired by the Winter Love Birds card I shared at the beginning of February, I really enjoyed making that card, and thought how nice it would be to recreate it using die cuts only. Challenge accepted :)

So, just like the other card, I started off by creating a cloudy snowy sky on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I used lost shadow and hickory smoke oxide inks along with a cloud stencil from my stash to make that sky, and then added texture to make it less flat. I mixed some hickory smoke oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and die cut all my bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock. Here is the detailed list of the die sets I used:

• Tree Branch: branch, leaves
• Build A Birdhouse: birdhouses, birds, pole
• Botanical Backdrop: snowflakes
• Sweet Treat House Add-On: bow
• Little Birdie: nest coordinating die

I added a little bit of shadows on all my pieces using oxide inks, stamped my "Sending winter hugs" greeting from Holiday Hugs in black on my panel, and then assembled and stuck everything using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Once everything was nicely arranged on my panel, I added a few details to finish my card: a Snowflake Polymer Clay Confetti in the center of each snowflake, a black pearl on each bird for the eyes, and three white dots in the center of each flower using white nuvo drops. 

And that's it! I really love how this card turned out, and I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Isha

Hello everyone, Isha here with a fun and whimsical card featuring the Tree Branch die. As you know me, I love to experiment with my products, so instead of having the branch horizontal, I created a vertical whimsical tree for this enchanted forest scene.

I started by sponging salty ocean distress ink to a white layer, flick some of the same ink. Die-cut the grass using the Mini Grass Border dies, sponge with mowed lawn and  twisted citron inks, flick some peeled paint ink.

Stamp the images, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating sentiments.

Gnomes - Home Sweet Gnome stamp and dies
Mushroom House - Garden Fairy stamps and dies
Bird - Love Birds stamps and dies
Bees, caterpillar - Garden Critters stamps and dies

Die-cut the branch and leaves using the Tree Branch die. Color using copic markers. Assemble the scene and adhere this panel to a white card base. I didn't use any sentiment on this card so that it can be personalized as per the need. 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Love Birds & Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a sweet welcome baby card using the Love Birds Stamps and Tree Branch Die. Aren’t they just the most adorable couple?!

I started this A2 card by inking a pink cloud background on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2” piece of white cardstock. I die-cut 3 pieces of white cardstock using the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies and used them as a stencil with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I wanted a soft background of cherry blossoms in the distance so I die-cut vellum several times using the Tree Branch Die and a flower from the Spring Garden Dies. I then lightly inked the vellum branches with Antique Linen Distress ink and the flowers with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink.

Before adhering the vellum pieces, I stamped a sentiment from the Little Birdie Stamps in brown ink. I lightly dabbed Tombow Mono liquid adhesive on the back of the vellum pieces so the adhesive wouldn’t show through and trimmed any excess from the edges of the cardstock.

Next, I die-cut 2 branches and flowers from white cardstock and inked them with Frayed Burlap Distress ink and Saltwater Taffy Distress ink. I also added a little shading with Copics and white gel pen details on the flowers. I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock in a brown ink, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered the branches, flowers and images to the card front using foam dimensional tape and trimmed the excess branches from the edges.

I used the following stamps and dies:
Love Birds Stamps/Dies
Little Birdie Stamps/Dies (bow, nest)
Clucky Chickens Stamps/Dies (egg) 

To finish, I stamped a sentiment for the inside of the card from the Inside Greetings Congrats Stamps and a baby bird from the Clucky Chickens Stamps on white cardstock and colored the baby with Copics. I then die-cut around the sentiment using a label die from the Sliding Window Dies. 

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
