Sweet Friend with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Aug 31, 2023 | Uncategorized

Today I’m sharing a card made with the Strawberry Basket die set and Sweet Friend Words. I decided to make a background pattern with the strawberries. I die cut the strawberries, leaves and large flowers from some gel plate prints I made a while ago. I used distress oxides to create these. I’ll list the colours I used below. As the prints were a thinner paper, I adhered each one to a thicker white card die cut, for stability. Behind the strawberries, I added some dark brown card, to show through the holes as seeds. I adhered the die...

Vegetable Gardening with Stefanie

Posted by Nicky Meek | Aug 30, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today and I am sharing a fun slimline with some kitties in the garden! I used 3 sets from the latest release: Vegetable Market, Vegetable Garden, and Nine Lives. I started with stamping the images using black ink and coloring them using a mix of Copics(C) and Ohuhus. Pinks: RV180, RV130 Browns: E43(C), E42(C), E41(C), E40(C) Grays: W3(C), W1(C), W00(C) Orange: YR240, Y110 Greens: GY7, GY4 Tomato red: R21, R1 Radish red: R23, R21 The images were then cut out using the Vegetable Market Die, Vegetable Garden Die, and Nine Lives...

Nine Lives with Amy

Posted by Amy Young | Aug 29, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hello, hello! Amy here and now that summer is drawing to a close my crafty endeavors are taking a decidedly more autumnal turn. So when I grabbed the new Nine Lives stamp set full of cute kitties I was inspired by my own black cats and from there my thoughts turned towards Halloween. That lead me to flip through my older Halloween themed stamp sets to see what kind of mash up I could create. Ultimately I fell in love with this happy ghost from the Ghostly Greetings set and knew that I had a purrr-fect pairing. I chose...

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a sweet square card featuring our Little Hugs stamp set. I adore these sweet mama (or daddy) and baby critter pairs! Aren’t they just super darling? I chose four of them to feature on the front of my card, which left one for the inside. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. For the background, I used the Gallery Frame #7 as a template to paint a quick and easy watercolor background on Bristol Cardstock using Distress Oxide Inks. I painted on some Salvaged Patina...

Wild about you with Sara

Posted by Sara Zoppi | Aug 27, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hi Bluebird Friends, Sara here! Today it’s my turn over the Hello Bluebird Blog and I have a “Wild about you” card to show you, featuring some of the recent released items as well as some previous ones. I wanted to pair the recent Safari Horizontal Scene Die with the older Portrait Pals: I think that the bigger giraffe was perfect to use in a foreground. I also knew that it would have been a love card, so I used the mirror stamping technique to mirror that giraffe and create the couple. I firstly started creating the two giraffes,...
