Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Perched in a Tree Bundle which includes the stamp set Perched in a Tree and the Aspen Tree Dies. This bundle was unavailable for some time but it’s now in stock.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Garden Green & another of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then cut a piece of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered all three pieces to the front of my card.
I used the Aspen Tree Dies to cut two leaves out of Garden Green cardstock and one of out Soft Sea Foam cardstock. The beauty of these dies is that they not only cut out the leaves but they’re embossed too! I set the leaves aside and then stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Garden Green ink using the stamp set Perched in a Tree. I then cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies.
I used Mini Glue Dots to attached the leaves to the sentiment and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I placed a Festive Pearl on each side of the sentiment and three more on the background.

Happy September 1st! This year is flying by, isn’t it? September reminds me of fall weather but here in California we’re having anything but fall temperatures. Yesterday it was 108 degrees and today isn’t going to be much better. Please send some fall weather our way!
I have a card to share with you today but first, to kick off September, Stampin’ Up! has two specials!
For the next four Thursdays, Stampin’ Up! will be introducing new Weekly Deals. This week they are offering embellishments, Designer Series Paper, dies and more but everything is while supplies last!! For the most up to date information CLICK HERE to go to the Weekly Deals page on my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Stampin’ Up! is offering six NEW dies that coordinate with stamp sets from the Annual & Mini Catalogs. You can purchase the bundles and save 10% or you can purchase just the dies if you already own one of the stamp sets. These dies are available while supplies last! Below, I’ve listed the bundles along with the individual stamp sets and dies. If you prefer, you can look at a flyer HERE or see these products on my Stampin’ Up! online store HERE.
I have one more card to share with you using the Basic Borders Dies. Unfortunately the Aspen Tree Dies and the Perched in a Tree Bundle are both currently unavailable but are estimated to be back in stock the week of September 26th. I also used the coordinating stamp set, Perched in a Tree, and that IS available! Normally I don’t share products that aren’t in stock but since this was a free Sale-a-Bration gift, I’m assuming many of you do have it.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then used one of the Basic Borders Dies to cut off a piece of the front of the card. Then I added a piece of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink on the front of the card using the stamp set, Perched in a Tree. Then I used the Aspen Tree Dies to cut three leaves out of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Garden Green cardstock. I arranged them on the front of the card using a combination of Mini Glue Dots and Multipurpose Glue.
To complete my card, I added three Champagne Rhinestones to the front of the card.

Today is Day 2 of showcasing Stampin’ Up! Basic Borders Dies. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it here.
Yesterday I found out that the Aspen Tree Dies – a Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 purchase – are on the Low Inventory list. More stock will be coming in but when, I can’t say. If you’ve had your eye on these dies or the Perched in a Tree Bundle, grab them while you can!
The Aspen Tree Dies can be purchased in three ways:
Please note: The free Sale-a-Bration option has a different product number than if you were to purchase the dies. If you are choosing the free option, be sure to use the Sale-a-Bration product number. Please see the different item numbers above.
I had planned to space my three cards throughout the week but I’m sharing them today just in case they are out of stock soon! This first card was made with Rings of Love Designer Series Paper, a Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then used the Basic Borders Dies to cut the bottom into a V-shape. Then I added a piece of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper to the inside. Next, I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Cottage Wreaths.
I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered it to the front of the card.
I used Memento ink to stamp the bird and branch onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Perched in a Tree (this coordinates with the Aspen Tree Dies). Then I colored the bird using these Stampin’ Blends: Night of Navy (Light and Dark), Daffodil Delight (Light and Dark). I used the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend for the branch and the bird’s beak and feet. I also used the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter on the bird’s belly. I then adhered the bird and branch to the front of the card.
For this next card, I didn’t use Designer Series Paper but chose to use embossed paper for both the inside and front of the card. I also made the front embossed piece a little bit longer than on the previous card.
I used all the same products but for this card, I used a Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend for the branch and the bird’s feet and beak.
For this next card, I used another design from Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.
I cut a piece of 4″ x 3- 3/4″ piece of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper and placed one of the Basic Borders Dies from the top right corner to the bottom left corner to create the shape. I started with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and then added a layer of Crushed Curry cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. Then I adhered the shape I made with the Basic Borders Dies.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Charming Sentiments. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (currently out of stock but estimated to be available again the week of September 19th). I cut a larger circle out of Early Espresso and layered the two pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Aspen Tree Dies to cut two small leaves out of Crushed Curry & Poppy Parade cardstock and then adhered them above the sentiment. To complete my card, I added three Brushed Metallic Dots.
