Stampin’ Up! Branching Out

Stampin’ Up! Branching Out

Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Stamp Set and Dies plus Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove and Grove Dies are used in creating this card I am sharing today.  I created a similar card using Everyday Arches a few weeks ago.  I used Branching Out Dies for creating this one.  This is an easy card, the hardest part is all the die cutting.

In the photo above, you can see the pieces needed.  The card cuts for each are below.  I decorated both the front and back of the card.  Some people choose only to do the front.  The two small Mossy Meadow pieces on the right side are the hinge mechanism that joins the panel together.  That’s the reason I finished the back side, I did not like the way the back looked with the hinge showing.

Card Cuts: 

  • Mossy Meadow cardstock
    • cut (6) of the largest Branching Out Dies — 3 for the front and 3 for the back
  • Basic White cardstock 
    • cut (3) of the third largest Branching Out Dies  —  for artwork, greeting, and sentiment
    • hinge mechanism cut (2) 2″ x 3″  score at 1″
  • Smoky Slate cardstock
    • cut (6) of the second largest Branching Out Dies —  mat for the art piece and designer series paper
  • Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper
    • cut (3) using the third largest Branching Out Dies
    • fussy cut the deer from a scrap

Adhere the Autumn Toile Designer Series pieces to the Smoky Slate cardstock mat, then adhere to the Mossy Meadow panel that will become a portion of the card once the panels are joined together with the hinges.  The three Basic White cardstock pieces are for the artwork.

In the photo above this one, stamp the trees from Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink.  Also, stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink.  After stamping the trees and the sentiment, using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink, lightly spread the ink around the panel.  After coloring, adhere the fussy cut trees and rock from Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper over the trees at the bottom of the panel.

Die cut the deer using a die from Grove Dies, die cut from Basic White cardstock the pine cones and branches using dies from Branching Out Dies .  Color the pine cones and branches using Crumb Cake, Old Olive, and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. Using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink brush the ink on these two panels.

On the panel with the deer stamp in Crumb Cake ink, a branch from Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Stamp Set.  Stamp the pine boughs in Mossy Meadow ink.  Stamp in Mossy Meadow ink a grassy area using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove Stamp Set at the bottom. This is where the deer will stand.

Adhere all the art panels to the Smokey Slate mats.  All the panels are finished, so now you are ready to adhere them to the hinge mechanism. The hinge is 2″ x 3″ scored at 1″.  Adhere each side of a panel to the hinge. Placing the panel just a hair away from the scored line.  The hinge is placed at the bottom of the panel where the corner of the half circle begins. You can see in the photo below how the panels continue as the three panels are connected. 

This is how the card looks once the hinges are adhered and the card is stood up.
