When there is a new bundle that offers elements spanning the seasons, I’m usually all in! Seasonal Branches has not disappointed me, although I did have to adjust my design for this May camp card because my first attempt was way too fussy.
This is fussy enough, considering there are two die-cut branches (using an adhesive sheet is essential) and all those flowers! I did the stamping and die cutting of dozens and dozens of flowers — or, rather, I die cut first and then stamped, using a Stamparatus technique I call “stamping in the hole.” It’s easier to watch my video than to write out the steps, so here you go:
Of course, these little flowers are not two-step images, but you get the idea. One thing I failed to point out in the video is that you are not securing the die-cut piece on the Stamparatus with magnets or any other way. Instead, the negative cardstock piece (the result of die-cutting one flower) acts as a frame for the flower, keeping it in place.
Did you notice the background panel? This was the first time I used one of the Foursquare Decorative Masks — so useful and fun!
Wondering about the phrase on the front of this card? Inside it says, “Happy Birthday Wishes”!
