Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the United States. Welcome to my blog! Today is the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop New Mini Favorite. The Stamping Sunday design team are sharing creative inspiration using some of our favorites from the July – August 2021 Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! I’m using Whimsical Trees which is a favorite of mine. Let’s take a look.

Whimsical Trees Simple Stamping Card

For today’s cards, I decided to go with a clean and simple look at three different creating levels. This Whimsical Trees card start with a Note Card and Envelope base. I love the Note Cards and Envelopes for simple stamping since there isn’t as much card front to design. And they look good with minimal or no layers.
To give this simple card a little more umph, I’ve added a single layer along with Gold Trim and Basic Pearls.
Whimsical Trees Casual Christmas Card

Still keeping with the clean design theme, I’ve kept my additions to this Whimsical Trees card minimal.
For the background, I used the Soft Pastels. Then, I layered on three Layering Circles stamped with the ornaments from the stamp set. And to finish, I added a trio of Basic Rhinestones.
Whimsical Trees Clean Avid Christmas Card

Clean and avid are not usually in the same sentence for me – LOL. But, I wanted to continue the trend with another minimalist card using Whimsical Trees.
For the background layer on this card, I added some Gilded Leafing. A die cut Vellum circle adds just a touch of softness without adding visual bulk. Next, I added the pretty Polished Pink tree. And, I’ve embellished with a multi-loop faux bow.

Your cards are so beautiful. I love the soft and clean look a lot!
Thank you, Katja!
swoon, love the gold dots
Me too, Ruth. I think I could be happy with a card that’s just those gold dots.
Gorgeous, Sara. I love following your videos, and the bow tying tip! D x
Thanks, Denita! That’s one of those easier to show you than tell you things.
