I love how the beautiful dove becomes the focal point of this card, paired with a subtle background of soft blue leaves. I used Misty Moonlight Ink and coordinating Designer Series Paper to create a serene, peaceful feeling – just what you want for a sympathy card. A few sprigs, some Linen Thread, and the Peace on Earth label dies bring everything together for a card that is simple yet so meaningful.

Branching Out Birthday Card – Friday Facebook Live
Happy Friday! On today’s Facebook Live, I shared a sneak peek of the new Branching Out Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This is such a versatile bundle – perfect for masculine cards, nature-inspired designs, and so much more. I paired it with earthy tones and one of my favorite new designer papers to create this classic birthday card.
Don’t Forget the Envelope!
I always like to finish my projects with a coordinating envelope. A strip of the same designer series paper was added to the flap for that extra special touch.

The Card
The card base is Very Vanilla, which really lets the rich tones of Early Espresso and Pecan Pie shine. I used the Branching Out Dies to create two frames – one in Early Espresso and one in Pecan Pie – and layered them over a 3” x 4” piece of designer series paper from the Branching Out suite. I love how the woodland images peek through the window of the frame!
For a little texture, I added die-cut branches (also from the Branching Out Bundle) in Very Vanilla and tied them with a touch of natural mesh ribbon. The sentiment, “Happiest Birthday Wishes,” is stamped in Early Espresso ink and cut with a stitched rectangle. A simple dot finishes the look- another new product alert the Streaked Dots.

The Pull-Out Feature
One of the things I love about this design is the pull-out panel tucked into the pocket. It’s perfect for writing a heartfelt note or adding extra stamped images—like the oak leaf, acorn, and mushroom shown here. The stamped elements tie back beautifully to the patterned paper and sentiment on the card front.

The sentiment “Many Thanks” is stamped in Early Espresso for a warm, rich look.

A bit of twine behind the die-cut sentiment adds just the right touch of texture.
