Pumpkin card using Thoughtful Branches

I was looking threw stamp set and found Thoughtful Branches and realized that I have not used the set in a long time so I then went to Pinterest and found THIS idea.

Using what I had I recreated the card.

 This is how I store my loose Stampin Up scraps, in 8 1/2 by 11 page protectors in a file system under my desk.

My full sheets are in my wired paper racks.

 I die cut the branches part separetly two times from Pumpkin Pie card stock.

I stamped and die cut the leaf and trunk images from Cucumber Crush ink and card stock.

I also used Stampin UPs mini dimensionals on one of the branch die cuts.

I decided to go with Bazzill Almond Cream card stock for the mat of the card, sized 5 1/4 by 4.

I used a embossing folder from Stampin Up, one with birch trees.

 After layering the branch die cut that had the dimensionals onto the second branch die cut I used Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere to the embossed card mat.

 I used some Hobby Lobby white/cream twine and wrapped around the card and taped in the back.

I used a 1.5 inch punch to cut out the sentiment and a tiny hole punch for the hole for the twine.

All done, such a simple but impactful card.

 I added more of the Bazzill Almond Cream to the inside of the card and stamped anouther leave in the corner.

 The card base is also Cucumber Crush and I added detail to the back as well.

 I used a green envelope from Hobby Lobby.

I added the leaf stamp to the front and back.
