I love the new Sheltering Tree stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog! I think that it’s my favorite set…well, at least it’s my favorite set today. 😉
My card design was inspired by Retrosketches #145.
The colors for my card were inspired by Fab Friday #56.
I started by stamping the image from the Hardwood stamp in Crumb Cake ink on a Crumb Cake panel. Then I went to work on my focal image.
I stamped the tree images from the Sheltering Tree photopolymer stamp set (available Jan 6) in Crumb Cake and Old Olive inks on a Whisper White panel. Then I added the little swing image in Crumb Cake and the flowers in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Inks.
I stamped the paintbrush image from the Sheltering Tree stamp set in Bermuda Bay ink, then stamped it again without reinking right under it and over it. I stamped that same image again in Coastal Cabana ink above the Bermuda Bay images and I stamped it a second time without reinking. I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Basics stamp set (available Jan 6) in Cherry Cobbler ink over the paintbrush images.
I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock that I’d punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch, then added a dot in the center of each scallop with my White Stampin’ Chalk Marker. I adhered the layered panel to the Crumb Cake panel with SNAIL and I stapled a little snip of Cherry Cobbler 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon and a little snip of the Coastal Cabana ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (Sale-a-bration item available Jan 6) with the Handheld Stapler to the panel. I finished the card by adhering the layered panels to a Bermuda Bay card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped those cute little flowers from the Sheltering Tree stamp set again in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler inks across the bottom of a Whisper White panel inside the card.

Glad that you like it Too Roxanne! The catalogs have been mailed from Stampin’ Up! and should be arriving in your mailbox soon! 🙂
I got my new catalogues Monday and have been admiring all the goodies inside. Last night my DH and I decided that this is our favorite set and will probably be quite popular like the other Tree sets are! I love how the seasonal examples are pictured. Can’t wait to order this set, Amy! Thank you for being prompt with mailing. ; ) Now, to your creation: Stamping the paintbrush for the sky is stellar, (IMHO)! I love it used for the grass and hadn’t thought about the sky! I also like the ‘off the page’ stamping. When I first started stamping, one of the challenges was to stamp partly off the page. I said, “I always try to stamp within the border, so this is different for me.” I did the challenge, and was pleasantly surprised how much I actually liked it! Thank you for sharing your talents, Amy….beautiful use of this soon to be released set~
Thanks so much for your nice comments Roberta! I’m glad that you love this set…you’ll be seeing it often on my blog. 🙂 There are so many things that you can do with it and I can’t wait to try them all!! 🙂
Well, already had these sets on my list for The Big Order! This card just confirms that choice. Hardwood stamp, too. Now I guess I’ll also need the scallop punch. My husband is going to be SO tickled! 😉
This is one of my favorite new sets!! I can’t wait to see what you make with it. Have fun putting in your great big order!!! 😉
Thanks, Amy!
I have loved all of your sneak peeks this past week! You just keep knocking them out of the park…..this is sweet! I never seem to have enough time in the month of December!
Thanks Linda! I can’t seem to stop using the new stuff…I love it all!! 🙂
I love the hand painted look of this card. The Christmas catalogs killed my budget and I think I see another budget buster in my near future!
My budget flew right out the window in early August and I don’t see it recovering for a long time!! I love this new catalog. 🙂
Amy, this is beautiful! I love how you did the sky. It’s very unique. Great take on the sketch too.
Thanks so much Terri! Glad that you liked it. 🙂
girlfriend you are killing me with all these sneak peeks…..I just ordered this one too, this card is outstanding!…
Thanks so much Sandi! It’s a fantastic stamp set!! 🙂
Very cute! That row of flowers carried over to the inside is great! One of my new favorite sets as well! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Thanks for stopping by to leave me a comment! 🙂
Thanks!!!
