Meadow Bunnies with Nicky

Posted by Nicky Meek | Jan 15, 2022 | Uncategorized

Welcome to the Hello Bluebird blog, this is Nicky with you today with a sweet Spring themed card idea for you that was made using the Meadow Bunnies and Picked For You stamp sets together with the Gallery Frame #7 Die. To create my card I first used the Gallery Frame #7 die and die cut the frame/windows. I took the outer frame, backed it with foam tape and adhered it to my card base. Next I took the inner divided frame and added glue to the reverse and inserted it inside the outer frame and stuck...

Hello friends, thank you for coming along today to join my on Hello Bluebird’s blog where I’m sharing a card using one of my all time favourite HB stamp sets called Frosty Littles. I have also used the Gallery Frame #6 die in this project together with the Hill & Dale die. To start things off I chose some patterned cardstock from my stash but you could easily ink blend your own background panel and splash on some snowfall. Next I die cut a white panel of cardstock using the Gallery Frame #6 die. I saved the negative cuts...

Pig Out with Nicky!

Hello friends! Let’s Pig Out shall we? I have a fun new card for you today featuring the Pig Out stamp set and I have also used the Farmland Scenic Background Stamp although I modified it for my scene. To create this card, I placed the Farmland stamp in my Misti and masked off the top part of the scene. I inked up and removed the mask before closing the door and stamping the image. I then coloured this image using Copic markers. Grassy Greens – YG0000, YG00, YG01, YG03 and YG25 Sky Blues – B0000, B000...
