Big Birthday Wishes with Anja

Posted by Anja Bytyqi | Aug 31, 2019 | Uncategorized

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I’m sharing a birthday card featuring the new Simply Squared Background Stamp. First, I created an ink blended background with Distress Oxide Inks (Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers). These colors remind me of yummy ice cream and almost look like a pastel rainbow. When everything was completely dry, I stamped the background stamp with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. It’s subtle but adds a pretty and shiny detail. I love how well the Hello Bluebird designs work together – you can simply...

Hey there this is Nicky with you today and I’m happy you’ve come by to read about this card for Hello Bluebird Stamps. For this card I’ve combined stamps from Garden Friends and Deer Friend. This is one of my slimline cards with finished dimensions of 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches to fit a standard size 9 envelope. I also created a panel of the same dimensions that would later be applied to the card base. I masked off the edges with washi tape and then softly ink blended that panel using Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade. To...

Woodland Littles by Suzy Plantamura

Hello Friends! Today I have a card to share with you using an oldie, but a goodie, Woodland Littles stamp set. This was one of the first stamps I bought when I started my Hello Bluebird obsession (and ended up getting ALL the sets!). I love the little images and wanted to use them in a creative way. I used a technique I use often I call “random stamping background”. I stamp all of the images over a background lining them up like a puzzle using my Misti. I used a light color of ink to stamp them so...

Hello Fall! with Eloise Blue

Posted by Eloise Blue | Aug 20, 2019 | Uncategorized

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m creating a fall themed card using the Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set. I started off with some Yupo Paper and a few colours of Alcohol Inks. I used a green, yellow and orange to create the fall coloured background. I dried it a little with a heat tool and then left it aside to dry the rest of the way. I then stamped out my images from Pumpkin Patch and coloured them in with Copic Markers. I cut them out and added foam tape onto the back. (Copic Markers Used: BV01, BV02, BV04,...
