Today I’m sharing a home decor piece created with the Thoughtful Branches Bundle.  Thoughtful Branches and the coordinating Beautiful Branches Thinlits are available for a limited time and you’re running out of time if you haven’t purchased them yet.  They’re only available through August 31st and there are so many amazing things you can do with them.  I created this home decor piece with a purchased easel frame which I then made 7″ x 4 3/4″ inserts for all four seasons.

Home Decor for Fall

 For fall I started out with a background of Tangerine Tango and Old Olive.  Next I layered a piece of Very Vanilla card stock which I stamp “splatters” from gorgeous Grunge in fall tones and ran it through the Woodlands Embossing Folder.  For the pumpkin stamped the oval shaped flower petals or leaves in Tangerine Tango on Tangerine Tango and cut it out with the coordinating thinlit.  I layered this on an oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits.  I stamped two leaves and the bottom of the tree trunk in Old Olive on Old Olive card stock and die cut those as well.  The finishing touch was a very thin piece of Old Olive which I wrapped around a pencil and attached to the pumpkin for the vines.

Home Decor for Winter

For winter I started out with a background of Soft Sky and Dapper Denim.  Next I layered a piece of Whisper White card stock which embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  I embossed a second piece of Whisper White and tore the edge and attached it to the first layer with dimensionals to make a hill of snow.  I cut the tree with the Beautiful Branches Thinlits three times and layered them directly on top of one another for a more dimensional look.  I applied glue to the tree and hill of snow and sprinkled Dazzling Diamond Glitter to make everything sparkle.   The final step was stamping the bird in Dapper Denim and cutting him out with the thinlit before resting him in the tree.

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing the Spring and Summer inserts so be sure to come on back.
