Bird Banter Stamp Set

I almost forgot to blog today!! It has been insane as far as weather goes, and with the bad weather comes the parents' dreaded snow days from school. I love my kid, but dang I'm in need of school to start up again.  You don't realize how much a 5 year old can talk until they are stuck inside for 4 days with no way to get all that energy out. I have found it comes out verbally. I probably answer a thousand questions in an hour. ANYWAY.... speaking of talking...

 Here is Bird Banter

 This stamp set is in the Occasions Catalog! It has some great parrot images that are sure to crack a smile on the recipient's face. It doesn't have any dies to cut images. All the images you see in the following samples were cut out by me.😝

This is a card sample out of the Occasions catalog (pg 43) that I made. 

I used Whisper White cardstock to create the card base and background. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Stampin' Blends Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pool Blue. 
The card sentiments are a couple of birthdays, thank you, and friendship. These little birds are so cute
with smaller images to dress them up. Like I did with the birthday hat. 
This shows the little budgie buddy. The stamp set has 2 budgies that are mirror images.  They would make cute Valentine themed cards as well!
 On this card I die cut out a circle shape to create a window for the stamped image to show through. I used the flower and leaf stamps to create my own background paper for the front of the card. The "Thanks So Much" sentiment is from A Good Day stamp set. That set is found in the Occasions Catalog on pg 17.

The toucan is probably my favorite image along with the sentiment that matches. I used a sponge to ink up the orange background and used die cut images from another die set called Petals and More. That set is also in the Occasions Catalog. It coordinates with the stamp set Petal Palette on page 23. 

The images are large enough to color and modify. There is a lot of room for different styles of cards for almost all occasions. If you enjoy cute and whimsical. I'm pretty sure you will be seeing a lot of these guys in my samples. 

I hope you have a safe and warm week. Check out my Facebook page for upcoming events, card inspirations, and just all around paper crafting fun. I would love to see what you have created, so please share your pictures too.

Interactive Christmas Card

Image
It's almost that time of year to start getting Christmas cards made and in the mail. I love making a card people will remember. I usually try to keep it simple since I usually have to make 15 cards. Every once in a while I get a wild hair and have to make a doozie just to send out to a certain person that really appreciates the effort I put into it. I decided I wanted to make at least one interactive Christmas card that can hold a gift card. It's like a surprise within a surprise.  It was a challenging card that was inspired by my card making hero Jennifer Mcguire. She is just amazing at techniques and thinking outside of the box. I love her style and creativity.  This is my version. It has a slide out sentiment and it opens like a regular card. The person receiving it would pull on the ribbon and the white card will slide out with a gift card attached to the back.  I made this card using Real Red card stock for the main s...

Hold on to Hope Card

I designed the Hold on to Hope card to show a fun technique using the positive and negative cut outs of dies. This is an inlaid technique and it's simple to do and results in a very impressive look. The stamp set I used was Stampin' Up! Hold on to Hope. It's a new set that will be available in January for purchase. This set has a coordinating die set called Cross of Hope Framelits. The materials: White thick cardstock -cut at 3 1/4' x 4 1/4", a scrap piece of white cardstock to glue on die cut, and a 1/2" strip Black cardstock -cut at 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", a piece cut at 3"x 3" for die cutting, and a 3/4" strip  Emerald Envy cardstock cut at 4 1/4" x 11", Then folded at 5 1/2" to make the card base Yellow cardstock cut at 3"x 3" for die cutting Stampin' Up! stamp set Hold on to Hope Stampin' Up! die set Big Shot die cutter Emerald Envy ink pad Memento Black Tuxedo ink pad Versa Ma...

Kit Snob!!

Image
I've really gotten into one of the all inclusive kits that is featured in the Annual Catalog . This box is amazing for all that comes in it. Have you considered getting one of these kits?  I didn't.  Nope. I have been stamping, doing scrapbook pages, and cards since high school, so I thought I didn't need to get  cards or pre-punched designs. I mean, come on, I could make that with all the paper, stamps and dies that I already have. I was being a total kit snob. I just didn't want to do it. Then, the other day I was trying to come up with a class. I realized, holy cow, I would have to buy paper, stamps, glue, embellishment and the list was getting longer and longer. This also meant the price of the class was getting bigger and bigger $$. What is a new demonstrator to do?  I was starting to stress, and then I saw it.👀 The "Oh Happy Day" all inclusive kit . It had everything (and I do mean everything) plus I would only have to charge my students for the price...
