I’ve owned this Branching Out stamp set from Stampin’ Up! for several months, and have been wanting to use it… so I finally grabbed a few ink pads and my Country Woods designer paper to create some Customer Thank You cards. My inspiration came from Jacque Williams.

A hand holds a greeting card with pine branch artwork and text reading “Hello Happiest Birthday Wishes.” Next to the card are strips of white embossed paper and brown cardstock. Overlay text reads: “Peaceful Greenery embossing folder.”. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

The greetings are found in the Branching Out set, and I stamped them onto white circles punched with the 2″ circle punch and Basic White cardstock.

Below.. I loved this design element that Jacque included… just a pop of texture is added with an embossed white cardstock strip and the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. I added a torn strip of Two Tone cardstock (in Pretty Peacock, or Pecan Pie) to my cards, too.

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards and all the details! I especially love all the pictures showing the details.
