Branching Out Dies – Blogger’s Choice

Hello, my crafty friends. It’s the first Saturday of the month, and it’s time for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who love to share our passion for paper crafting. Today’s challenge is Blogger’s Choice, where we can showcase what’s on my desk (other than a mess). I chose the Branching Out Dies to use on my cards.

These dies are part of the Branching Out Bundle.

I made two cards, a Christmas card and a thank-you card.

The Christmas card uses the products from the Jolly Delivery Suite. The card base is made of Poppy Parade card stock, with one panel using Pool Party and the other Garden Green card stock.

I used the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper. I die-cut Poppy Parade and Basic White card stock using two of the Branching Out Dies. Everything was adhered using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue, except for the die-cuts, which were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Oh, the dog; he’s a die-cut from the package of Designer Series Paper

My second card uses the Charming Day Bundle. I needed a thank-you card for my friend’s friend, who allowed us to stay at their home while vacationing in Wichita, KS, for my high school reunion.

Same format as the first card, but in horizontal position. The card base is Blackberry Bliss, with one panel using Pretty Peacock and the other Berry Burst cardstock. I die-cut some leaves in Mossy Meadow. The sentiment is from the Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set. The bling is Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

Card Measurements:
Card Base: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
1st Panel: 4 x 5 1/4
2nd Panel: 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
DSP: 3 1/4 x 4 3/8 cut into 3 pieces – 3 1/4 x 1 (2), 3 1/4 x 2 3/8

So which card is your favorite? I can’t really choose. I will be using the Branching Out Dies a lot more. Are they in your crafting stash? To see other inspiration from the Design Team, click on the next blog to continue. I know you will be inspired.
