Tonight’s Paper Party Live is extra special, and I cannot wait to craft with you! We’re going live at 8 PM ET on YouTube, and this month’s projects feature the absolutely gorgeous Branching Out stamp set and coordinating dies. If you’ve crafted with me before, you know how much I love a stamp set that can do everything, and let me just say… this one has completely stolen my heart. The branches, the pinecones, the sentiments, the textures—oh my goodness, the versatility is through the roof. Love, love, love!
Anyone who placed an order with me in October and all of my amazing team members should have already received their Make & Take Kits and the free PDF tutorial, so you can craft right alongside me during the Live or anytime you watch the replay. If you didn’t get a kit this month, don’t worry at all—the full tutorial is already available in my online store for a very inexpensive price. Every purchase helps me continue creating, sharing, and inspiring. Thank you for being part of this creative adventure with me!
During the Live, I’ll be creating two stunning cards step by step. Both feature that warm, layered, cozy winter look we all love around the holidays. The first card, “From Our Family to Yours,” pairs Pecan Pie, Real Red, Pool Party, and touches of Garden Green with the North Pole Deliver DSP. It’s such a beautiful mix of rustic and cheerful. Between the frame, the branches, the berries, and that sweet sentiment, this card practically builds itself.
The second card, “Happiest Birthday Wishes,” shows just how far you can stretch a seasonal set. With Country Woods DSP and Crumb Cake accents, the design creates a soft, neutral, nature-inspired birthday card you’ll want to send all year long. I’m also sharing how to give your die cuts and stamped images added depth with ink blending—just a touch of shading makes everything come alive.
I’ll also be showing two bonus cards tonight. I won’t be making them during the Live, but they are included in the PDF tutorial and packed with beautiful details. One features Mossy Meadow and Gold ribbon with beautiful layered greenery and a heartfelt sentiment. The other showcases Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive pine needles for a fresh, bright take on Branching Out. Both bonus projects are wonderful examples of how this stamp set transitions seamlessly from rustic winter to modern botanical.
If you’re crafting along, be sure to grab your kit or your supplies—and get cozy! Whether you join live or catch the replay, I’m so grateful to have you here. This Paper Party community is truly something special, and creating with you each month brings me so much joy.
