On Wednesday’s Facebook Live, I had so much fun creating these two cards featuring the Branching Out Bundle! This bundle is the star of my current Card Class To Go, and it’s one you’ll love using again and again.
Both of these cards showcase how versatile this bundle is — one has a clean, fresh look with lots of white space and a pop of bright color, while the other takes on a warmer, cozier feel with earthy tones and stripes. I just love how a simple change in color and background can give such a different vibe!
If you missed my live, you can catch the replay here:
The dies in this bundle are packed with great details — branches, sprigs, pinecones and more — perfect for layering and adding those special finishing touches to your projects. Add in a few embellishments, a touch of texture, and you’re set with cards that are simple yet beautiful.
And don’t forget, my Branching Out Card Class To Go is open now! This class is a great way to craft along with me from home — and it’s available for a limited time!

Sometimes all you need is a simple hello to brighten someone’s day – and today’s card does just that! I paired the Branching Out Dies with the cozy, neutral patterns from the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper for a card that feels warm and welcoming.
I love how the striped paper sets the stage for the layered labels – so crisp and classic! The stitched edges give just the right amount of detail, and of course, I had to finish it off with a sweet little cluster of die-cut sprigs and a Linen Thread bow. 🌿
This card would be perfect for sending to a friend “just because,” or as part of a card set – swap out the sentiment and it could work for birthdays, thank-yous, or even masculine cards.

I’m so excited to share today’s card with you—it’s bursting with bright, happy color and showcases ALL FIVE of the 2025–2027 In Colors™, which just happen to be on sale right now! 🎉 These colors pair beautifully together and really pop on this fun stitched background. I used strips of cardstock in each of the 5 In Colors, embossed with the Pattern of Friendship die, to create a bold ombré look. I love how the texture adds interest without overpowering the design! The sentiments are from the Pattern of Friendship stamp set and great news: they’re part of the Last Chance Products list and up to 70% off while supplies last!
🌲 The adorable trees are from the Scenic Adventures Dies and the sentiments were cropped with the More Messages Die.

Hi friends — I’m so excited to share a little recap of my latest Facebook Live! This week, I featured five quick and beautiful cards using one of my go-to favorites: the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder by Stampin’ Up!® and the More Messages Bundle. 🌻✨
I just love how embossing folders can take simple cardstock and turn it into something WOW — with texture, dimension, and instant elegance. And when you pair them with the More Messages Bundle, you have dozens of sentiments ready to grab and go!
✨ The Best Part?
These cards are quick and easy — no complicated techniques, just the magic of a great embossing folder, pre-cut sentiments from the More Messages Bundle, and a few finishing touches.
🎥 Missed the Live?

I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page or on YouTube above. A soft Pool Party birthday card with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. LOL! VIDEO BLOOPER! In order to get two-tones on this card, cut two pieces of Pool Party Two-Tone Cardstock to 4 1/2 x 3 1/2. Layer the two pieces one on top of the other (one with the dark side up and one with light side up). Cut diagonally from corner to corner. Then adhere one light and one dark diagonal piece to the Basic White, then emboss.
