Hello and happy November! We are in the home stretch to the holiday season. I’ve been busy making lots of Christmas cards so I think I’ll be well stocked when it comes time to send them out in a few weeks. The card I’m sharing today is a little more on the simple side (simple by my standards, lol). I created a small wintery scene with the sweet images from the Merry Carolers stamp set. I started with a white A2 card base to which I added a plaid panel. This panel was created with one of Hello Bluebird’s...

Hello there! Have you had a chance to shop the October release yet? This release has some sweet holiday sets to choose from including the one I’m featuring today.

I added a little blue shading with tumbled glass distress ink and then...

By using an autumnal color palette and switching confetti out with falling leaves, I was able to make this cute stamp set work for a fall theme. I wanted the background for the scene to be a warm green color....

Waving hello to you all! I’m back sharing another card featuring stamps from the August Release. It’s no surprise that the Sea Friends stamp set has been so popular. I think almost every Hello Bluebird fan has been hoping for a Mermaid stamp set to be released. It certainly does not disappoint! I’ve made a grid style slimline card using some of those cute images from Sea Friends along with a few from Sea Life. The background is a blend of Salvaged Patina and Unchartered Mariner Distress Oxide Inks. I used the Uncharted Mariner color to stamp the schooling...
