IM459 – Holly Jolly Branches

October 19, 2026 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a forest of trees!

HOLLY JOLLY BRANCHES

The different sized trees in this Holly Jolly Branches Bundle are so fun! I’ve kept my trees plain this time, but there are lots of accessories to decorate them as Christmas trees, too!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Shaded Spruce cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whispering Woods DSP was added to the front.
A coordinating strip of 2 x 4 Whispering Woods DSP was added to a 2-1/4 x 4 piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock, then adhered to the front towards the right side.
The circle was cut from Basic White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Die.
The small and large trees were cut from Night of Navy, the medium tree from Garden Green and the large evergreen was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink on Basic White and cut using the Dies. They were assembled on the front flat except for the stamped tree with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting was stamped on 1/2 x 3-1/2 Shaded Spruce with Night of Navy Ink and the end cut at an angle.
A trio of navy Natural Matte Dots were added to the background.

Can’t wait to use this bundle some more! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 24 years and just had my 23rd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
