All the Alphas with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jan 7, 2022 | Uncategorized

Hello Bluebird has a wonderful selection of Alpha die sets so I thought it would be fun to create a typographic style birthday card to showcase them together. I began by die cutting white card letters for ‘Happy Birthday’ from each of the following alpha sets: Charlie Large Outline AlphaKnightley LC Large AlphaJane Small AlphaOliver AlphaCharlie Alpha I layered two of the letter die cuts for dimension, then put them aside to work on my background. I cut a card base to 5.25” square, then adhered a piece of patterned paper. I then added a white card frame from...

Gnome for the Holidays with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Dec 13, 2021 | Uncategorized

These Gnomes are heading home for the holidays! I teamed them with the taxi from City Sidewalks on this fun Christmas card. The images are coloured with copics and die cut with the coordinating dies. To turn the taxi into an regular car, I trimmed away the taxi sign and used a white gel pen to cover any stamped lines left that weren’t needed. I layered patterned paper on my square card base, then a white card snow bank, which I’d cut with the Hill & Dale die. I stamped a sentiment from Gnome for the Holidays. I added...

Sweet Christmas with Gemma

I’m sharing a card today with the Sweet Christmas stamp set from the new October release. I love the gingerbread people, house, and all the images to decorate the scene. I stamped out the images and coloured them with copic markers. I used E50, E51, E43 and E44 for all the gingerbread people. For the house, I used the same colours but added E53 as the image is larger. The rest of the images are coloured with a rainbow of different markers. I then added white gel pen details. All the images are die cut with the coordinating dies....

Wilderness Adventure with Gemma

Today I have a card to share using the new Wilderness Adventure stamp set. I created a CAS card with a mini scene for these cute critters. I used a stitching rectangle die to add some detail to an A2 card panel. I cut a rectangle from a handmade gel printed background to adhere within the stitched rectangle space. Using the Hill & Dale die set, I cut two hills from a dark teal cardstock and added those to the scene. I stamped and copic coloured images from the Wilderness Adventure stamp set. The bear is coloured with E70...

Tree Neighbors with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Sep 14, 2021 | Uncategorized

Today I’m sharing a card using products from the September 2021 release – Tree Neighbors, Big Greetings and Gallery Frame #7. I’ve been enjoying creating square cards for a while now, so I was very pleased to see this format featured in the September release from Hello Bluebird. The Gallery Frame #7 die is 5.25 inches square, and cards made with this die set will fit perfectly in a 5.5 inch envelope. The Tree Neighbors stamp set works well with this square format, allowing the focus to be on just a portion of the large tree in this set....
