I realized I hadn’t used this pretty designer paper in a while so I looked through it and picked out this pussy willow pattern. I hadn’t even used this In Color cardstock in a long time so all in all, this Nests of Winter Sending Thanks Card is what turned out.
The card base is the 2023-2025 In Color Copper Clay. The pussy willow layer is in the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. I bought this Suite for a virtual Stampin’ Up! event back in June. Honestly, I wasn’t too thrilled with the choice for this event, but after seeing the Demonstrators making their cards and projects with products in this Nests of Winter Suite, I was enthused to use it!
The focal point of the card, in the center, is made with a base layer of Copper Clay cardstock cut at 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. The layer is a bark-like pattern on the other side of the pussy willow pattern cut at 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″. The two birds are easily cut out with the die in the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. This is such a great idea Stampin’ Up! has been doing with a lot of the designer paper. Certain images can be cut out with one of the dies in the Suite or Bundle! It’s great! I simply glued everything down flat on the card using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Seal.
The greeting is in the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set although it is longer than you see on this card. The stamp also includes “& much love” but I only wanted the “Sending Thanks”. I inked up the stamp, but then I wiped off the “& much love” at the bottom of the stamp using my Simply Shammy. It was then diecut with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. The greeting is stamped in Copper Clay ink.
That’s all there is to this card! Pretty easy and you can swap out some of the different designer papers if you like.
