The first card was create by my sister Aimee La Croix-Slocum. I LOVE the way that she die cut the flower with vellum. Aimee used a now- retired adhesive sheet to adhere the the vellum to the Pear Pizzaz cardstock. The small dots are from the adhesive sheet, but I love the texture it adds to the card. The layering of the ribbon, twine, and leaves is just perfection! Aimee said that she used a die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit set to cut out the "happy birthday" sentiment. I honestly never even noticed that die! I love how it looks like it's torn.

The second two projects were created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. I found them tucked away on my business website gallery and thought they deserved a little more attention. I love the layered cardstock on the flower treat bag. TIP: To create the layered flower, Die cut and stamp two flowers. Trim one to be smaller and use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up over the full bloom.

I like the layered elements on this last card too. The two different tree stamps create a nice background for the die cut tree. TIP: Use an AquaPainter and Pool Party or Soft Sky ink to watercolor the background first. Allow it to dry completely before stamping the trees.

Thoughtful Branches Thank You Tree Card

At stamp club last week, I let Karin choose a Thoughtful Branches card for us to make. She choose this one, designed by a Stampin' Up! Concept Artist. I love everything about it -- the colors, the copper washi tape, the polka dot border (the flower stamped repeatedly around the card front), and the baker's twine to tie it all together!

Welcome to the Around the World Stampin' Up! Blog Hop. I'm so excited to partner with my friends all over the world to share inspiring projects with you. This month, we are featuring trees and flowers, in honor of this month's limited-time Thoughtful Branches Bundle.

You are currently visiting Julie Davison in the United States. You may have come over from Marie-Josée Trudel's blog. If not, be sure to visit all of them until you come back through Marie-Josée's to mine again. (The list is at the end of this post.)

Have you seen the new Thoughtful Branches bundle yet? This has to be one of the most versatile stamp sets that I have ever owned!

My card today was inspired by a sample in the upcoming 2016 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. I used the same layout and similar colors as the card on page 48 and switched up the stamp set and added a button. I really love the way that it turned out. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

As Seen on TV: Back to School Teacher Treat 2-4-6 Box with Thoughtful Branches

Back to school means new teachers to spoil! Today, I did a Creative Corner segment on ciLiving to share this 2-4-6 gift box for our new teachers. (For those of you who live outside of Central Illinois (ci), ciLiving is our CBS affiliate afternoon talk show that shares human interest and community stories.)

The 2-4-6 box is super easy to make plus it reminds me of that old cheer "2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate?" And we definitely appreciate our teachers!

You'll need a half sheet of cardstock (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") to make this box. This box is easy enough to make up just a few or a whole lot for small gifts or party favors. It would be perfect for a wedding, baby shower, birthday party, or holiday. My favorite part is the coordinating designer paper (1" x 3" wrap around the chocolate nuggets to go inside the box.

Watch my Creative Corner segment on ciLiving here.

Directions:

1. Using the Scoring Blade on your Stampin' Trimmer, score the cardstock at 2”, 4”, 6”, and 8”.
2. Turn the cardstock lengthwise and score once more at 2".
3. Cut the score lines on the shorter end up to the 2" score line you made in step 1. These flaps will become the bottom of your container. (You can completely cut off the small flap on the end.)
4. Put Tear & Tape adhesive on the side flap and 3 of the 4 bottom flaps and assemble the box.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Thoughtful Branches stamp set, Old Olive ink & cardstock, Early Espresso ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Fruit Stand Designer Paper, Triple Banner Punch, 1-1/2" Circle Punch, Beautiful Branches Thinlits, Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Binder Clips, Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine
