Hi Stamping Friends!
I wasn’t going to do it, but I couldn’t help myself.
I finally bought the limited-time-only, exclusive Thoughtful Branches Bundle! There were WAY too many awesome cards that people were sharing online! If you don’t believe me, check out this Thoughtful Branches Pinterest board! WOW! The images are so gorgeous for fall-themed or winter-themed cards & projects!
Last-Minute Thoughtful Branches Class?—I’m hoping that I’ll have enough time to offer a quick online class with this beautiful stamp set and coordinating thinlit dies. Are you interested? The only thing is that this IS a “limited-time, while supplies last” only item, so if you want it, I would order it right away! It could be sold out before the end of the offer on August 31, and even before I get my class info out next week. I will make sure to offer a class kit option for those of you who have already purchased the set, so be safe and get it now! Order the Thoughtful Branches Bundle today!
A couple of my Too Cool team members used the Thoughtful Branches stamp set to create their swap cards for our August team event. I’ve shared their cards below, but be sure to check out the details on this must-have bundle…

Darla’s You’re In My Thoughts Thoughtful Branches Card
Darla Eigenschink created this stunning card with the pretty leaf image along with some lovely copper accents!
Background Basics—She started by adding a line of shiny copper dotted Affectionately Yours Washi Tape onto a Dapper Denim card base.
Lovely Leaves Layer—Darla stamped the Thoughtful Branches leaves down the side of a 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla in Soft Suede & Cajun Craze inks. She also stamped the leaf in VersaMark onto Very Vanilla scrap and heat embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder, then die-cut it with the Beautiful Branches Thinlit dies. It’s popped up with Dimensionals.
She rounded the bottom corners with the Project Life Corner Rounder, then matted it onto a 3-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ piece of Early Espresso card stock, also rounded at the corners.
Sweet Sentiment—Thoughtful Branches has some beautiful phrases in beautiful fonts! Darla stamped this one in Dapper Denim, then tied a Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon around the layer before mounting it on the card base with SNAIL.

Nancy’s Your Kindness Thoughtful Branches Card
Nancy Korb created this pretty autumn card with lovely fall foliage!
Terrific Tree—Nancy started by stamping the grassy Thoughtful Branches image several times in Always Artichoke ink at the bottom of a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Very Vanilla to make a nice landscape for her tree. Next, she stamped the tree trunk in Early Espresso.
Finally, she stamped the Thoughtful Branches tree leaves image three times in three different inks: Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke. Fantastic colors of fall!
Background Basics—Nancy rounded the top of the stamped layer, and the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Cajun Craze mat layer with the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch before mounting onto an Early Espresso card base.
Sweet Sentiment—The Thoughtful Branches greeting is stamped in Early Espresso onto a 2-1/4″ x 1″ piece of Very Vanilla. The end is punched with the Banner Triple Punch, then Nancy sponged the edges with more Early Espresso ink before popping it up with Dimensionals.
