My Snowman Feeds the Birds with Amy

Posted by Amy Young | Jan 7, 2021 | Uncategorized

Hello, hello… Amy here with my first Hello Bluebird card for the new year. With the sparkle and magic of the holiday season behind us it can be easy to feel the doldrums of a long drawn out winter still ahead. As crafters and card makers we know that one of the bright spots of winter weather keeping us cooped up inside is that we can escape through our creations and Hello Bluebird offers so many adorable stamp sets to do just that. So when I sat down to create yesterday I found it difficult to choose only one...

Holiday Office Party with Amy

Posted by Amy Young | Dec 10, 2020 | Uncategorized

Hello crafty friends, Amy here with a card using the fun Holiday Office Party set from last month’s holiday release. I inked up the woodland critters included in the set as I knew that I wanted to pair them with the Cozy Burrow Scene die. Even though they are celebrating Christmas on my card today, I can see a lot of potential for various scenes throughout the coming year utilizing this unique die. 2020 has been a crazy year for the employees of the Deep Wood Better Burrow Bureau so everyone is ready to cut loose during their annual...

Hello crafty friends, Amy here with a Christmas card mixing a bit of old with the new.

First I stamped the gnome on Catherine Pooler Select white card...

Fall Friends with Amy

Hello, hello! Amy here with a weekend post to share and this time around I went to my older fall themed Hello Bluebird stamp sets to find something fun to create with. The Fall Friends set, with its sweet clothed critters caught my eye right away. I’m such a sucker for animals dressed up in clothes, they always make me smile. And these three cuties are just as darling as they come. I stamped and masked them into a tight knit group of friends posing for a photo together on a beautiful, blustery fall day. As I was...

Nuts about you with Amy

Happy Saturday friends, Amy here with my first official blog post! New stamps are always exciting to add to our crafty stash. They bring with them new card ideas and fun new images to color. But I gotta say, the thing that gets me most excited whenever there is a new release is how I can ‘mash up’ my new stamps with older sets and breathe new life into those images. For my card today I really wanted to pair one of the darling fairies from the new Fairy Dance set with a happy squirrel from the older Oh...
