Let me count the ways!

I think Branch Out is one of the most versatile stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has produced.  I have used it for all four seasons, multiple holidays, and a variety of “just because” occasions.  It’s not currently in the catalog, but it’s on the dormant list (113200, $22.95)  and you can order it.  Matter of fact, I wish you would – I would be thrilled if  Stampin’ Up! would choose to take it off the dormant list and return it to the Idea Book and Catalog next July.

I saw a beautiful card – and I confess I cannot remember the location – where the crafter used another tree set with the In Colors to create a vibrant autumn card.  I’ve made a few changes but I’m pleased with the results.

• Branch Out Stamp Set
• Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry , Crushed Curry and Rose Red Classic ink pads
• Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, RIch Razzleberry, and Apricot Appeal cardstock; Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper
• Big Shot and Stampin’ Up! Perfect Details Texture plate
• Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon
• Stamp-a-ma-jig

This is as close to Autumn Colors as we’ll see here on Maui.  It’s nowhere near the same as seeing the colors change in real life, but it makes me think of Autumn all the same.
