All paper crafters take note! World Card Making Day is Saturday, October 7, 2023 Celebrate with a virtual stamp-a-long sponsored by Stampin’ Up! Click here to see all of the details and to register.
The event features cards created with three of Stampin’ Up!’s bundles including Circle Sayings, Earthen Textures and a brand-new, sneak peek offering from an upcoming catalog: Heartfelt Hexagon (Item number 162889 for $37.75). You’ll love the sentiments and the ease of using a punch to create cute and quick cards.
Today, I share three cards created with this stamp set and punch bundle.
The sympathy card above uses a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Masterfully Made 12 x 12 paper (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″), a layer of vellum (5″ x 3 3/4″), and Berry Burst leaves punched with the Bough Punch and from the Soft Shimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper.
Below, I use the Glorious Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (Berry Burst and Blueberry Bushel each measuring 2″ x 4 3/4″) to make a quick and easy birthday card. The embossing folder is part of the Basics 3D Embossing Folder Collection found online in Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives.
And, next is a thinking of you card using Stampin’ Up!’s Countryside Inn 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and another embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder Collection.
Don’t you just love the versatility of the stamp set and punch combo? During World Cark Making Day, you’ll gain even more ideas on how to use this bundle.

Sympathy cards are perhaps some of the most difficult to make. However, these cards, especially when they’re handmade, mean so much to those who receive them. The images and sentiments in Stampin’ Up!’s Ginkgo Branch Bundle offer just the right elements to craft heartfelt sympathy and thinking of you cards. Find this bundle on page 57 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Purchase the Ginkgo Branch stamp set and coordinating Ginkgo Branch Dies as a bundle and save 10 percent.
Ginkgo Branch Card Samples
In today’s post, I share a variety of card samples using this bundle. I appreciate the large stamped image as well as the die cuts to make something quickly. Be sure to watch the YouTube video below (a Facebook live replay), to see a variety of card samples and ideas using this bundle. (Hint: Keep watching to see some cards that bring in different patterned papers and sentiments from other sets.)
I can’t decide which color I like best: Smoky Slate and Night of Navy? Soft Suede and Very Vanilla? Night of Navy and Very Vanilla?
For all three sympathy cards, I used one of the embossing folders offered in Stampin’ Up!’s new Online Exclusives: Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Available for $30, the three-pack includes a flower design, hobnail-glass dots, and crosshatch design. The Online Exclusives include brand-new paper crafting products available only online. You won’t find them in any catalog. Stampin’ Up! plans to release new Online Exclusive Products every four months. Click here to explore the offerings.
