Elegant Berry Branch Holiday Card

I'm sharing a bit here about this card that my reel over on Instagram features!  I've used the beautiful Berry Branch Layering Die Set for the third time with a totally different look!

I die cut two of each of the three Berry Branch dies.  I used Parrot, Olive, and Brushed Silver cardstocks shown in the list below.

After I glued the layers together, I added them to my card that has an embossed panel with the Layered Snowflakes 3D embossing folder.  I trimmed off the parts of the branches that were overhanding the edge.  Don't toss those!  Tuck them in here and there to fill in around the sentiment and ends of the branches.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Sentiments: Holiday Edition die set.  The shadow layer is the silver metallic cardstock, and the top is two layers of 110# white cardstock.

This card was really that easy!  I love making quick cards that look so beautiful and elegant!  Thanks so very much for stopping by!

For the hop today, I have created two holiday cards featuring the Berry Branch Layering Die Set and the gorgeous Cardinal Love Layering Die Set.  These products, and all the others are available now in the Altenew shop!

This card features the beautiful Berry Branch Layering Die Set and the Timeless Sentiments Die Set: Holiday Edition.

I die cut the Berry Branch Layering Die Set from some of the new Crafty Necessities Cardstock colors.  I used Crimson and Olive colored cardstocks.  The brown cardstock is from my stash.

I layered a piece of Arctic Mountain cardstock with layer die cut with the Grid Cover Die.  Then I added opaque white paint splatters to the card layers and the Berry Branch die cut.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Sentiments Die Set: Holiday Edition.  I cut the shadow layer from more Arctic Mountain cardstock and the top layer from Topaz glitter cardstock.

I love cardinals, my most favorite bird!

This card features the so beautiful Cardinal Love Layering Die Set, and again, the Berry Branch Layering Dye Set.  The Berry Branch works wonderfully with the branch that is included with the Cardinal Love dies.

All of the Cardinal dies were cut from white cardstock.  I used the following Crisp dye inks (linked below) to color these beautiful birds:  Clay Canyon, Burnt Red, Heart Beat, Rocky Shore, Mocha, Expresso, Jet Black

I added a white panel that I embossed with the Cloudy Day 3D embossing folder onto a panel that I color coordinated with Heart Beat ink.

The sentiment is from the Shrub Rose stamp set and popped up with foam tape.  For more dimension and interest, I added Ruby Slippers Nuvo drops (yes, I still have those--LOL!).

I hope you've been inspired by my cards today!  Keep hopping along to see much more beautiful inspiration for this release!
