Here’s the Bird!

Hi!  Today I have another card featuring the Free as a Bird Bundle!

Birds, Hello, Friendship, Laser Cut Card, Free As A Bird, Stampin' Up!, SU!

I love the coordinating Laser Cut Lace cards that are part of the Bird Ballad Suite – they are just gorgeous!

For this card, I layered a piece of Soft Seafoam behind the laser cut front.  The birds are stamped with Jet Black StaZon ink and colored with Watercolor Pencils and a blender pen.   They were then die cut with the Stitched Nested Labels that are part of the bundle.  A piece of Soft Suede is used for the mat.  The sentiment is also die cut and a small piece of Linen Thread finishes it off.

This is one of the cards we will be making at June’s Card Club on June 29th.  If you are interested in joining me, send me an email and I’ll give you the details.  Registration ends on June 24th.

Did you know Stampin’ Up! has created bundles to make ordering all the products in a suite easier?  Now you just need to order the Bird Ballad Suite to get the stamp set, dies, Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, Bird Ballad trinkets and the tin of Laser Cut cards!  How awesome is that!

Hope you enjoyed today’s post!

I held  my Catalog Kick-off Party Friday night, and here is the card attendees were able to make:

Flowers, Thank You, Free As A Bird, 2019 In Colors, Stampin' Up!, SU!

Funny that I showcased the Free as A Bird stamp set and there isn’t a single bird on the card.  Just goes to show how versatile the Bird Ballad Suite is for creating.  This card showcases some of the new In Colors as well:

  • Pretty Peacock
  • Seaside Spray
  • Terracotta Tile

I did pair these with the Soft Seafoam from the Subtles Color Collection.   Love these new colors!  And do you see the ribbon peeking behind the sentiment?  So pretty!

From now through June 24th, I am gifting each person who places a minimum $25 order (US, prior to S/H and tax) with a pack of 10 card bases and 10 pieces of coordinating Designer Series Paper.  Shop my on-line store and use Host Code:  2EYY99AN

Goodbye Little Bear

Hi!  Back today with a card featuring the retiring A Little Wild and the coordinating dies.

Animals, A Little Wild, Puzzle Pieces, Stampin' Up!, SU!

This little guy is just adorable and I am going to miss him as he is retiring June 3.  You still have a few days left to pick him up!

For this card, I stamped the elements in Jet Black StaZon ink and used Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen to color.  The bear is stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White and die cut.  You will need to trim around his ear, as the dies are for tags – but we weren’t using his back side.  The background image was then run through the Big Shot with the Puzzle Pieces framelit.

TIP:  The best way to keep these all together, while the pieces are still in the die, apply your adhesive to the backside.  Remove the puzzle pieces you do not want, and then place over your mat layer and push the pieces down.  This way, you do not have to reassemble the puzzle!

The puzzle is layered on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock that has been embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this folder!  A MUST HAVE for everyone!

The base is a piece of Whisper White Thick card stock measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded in half.

Don’t forget to shop my On-Line store for your favorites before they are gone in just 2 short days!
