Happy Tuesday and welcome to my blog. This week I’m focusing on the new 2019 Holiday Catalogue which you can start ordering fromNOW. Today I have Sweet Christmas Wishes using the Cup of Cheery Bundle.

For the card use:

Sweet Christmas Wishes

Stamp the sentiment from Cup Of Christmas Bundle using Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin’ Padon Crumb Cake A4 Card Stock.

Tip: Die-cut the Stitched Nested Labels Dies then turn the die so the length of it goes across the top of the shape. Then die-cut again to give you that stitched effect across the top,

Tip: To get the candy cane, you need to turn one to the wrong side.Die-cut 2 of the striped ones in Cherry Cobbler A4 Card Stock and two of the Whisper White A4 Card Stock ones.

Use Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp on the inside of the card and on the Whisper White C6 Envelopes

Bird Ballad Stamped Leaf

23/08/201922/08/2019

Hello, and welcome to my blog again today. I do appreciate your time with me. Today I have Bird Ballad Stamped Leaf. We often miss some stamps in a set and rarely use them. So, today I thought I’d share one way to use those types of stamps.

Bird Ballad Stamped Leaf

For this card use:

Stamp tone on tone for the upper part of the card. Here I’ve used Petal Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad on Petal Pink A4 Cardstock

Tip: Save some ribbon by adhering about 12 cm of Petal Pink 5/8″ (1.6 Cm) Organdy Striped Ribbon with Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the card front. Then tie your bow from Petal Pink 5/8″ (1.6 Cm) Organdy Striped Ribbon and adhere where desired with Mini Glue Dots

Tip: When stamping the card front panel in Petal Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the inside of the card and the Whisper White C6 Envelopes

More Bird Ballad Stamped Leaf

Tip: Use a scrap of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper for the front of your card. This is a good layout to use up those odd pieces of Designer Series Paper.

Use Stampin’ Blends to colour the birds and the branch from Free As A Bird Bundle and add a sentiment before die-cutting out. Try using:

Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers Combo Pack for the leaves
Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers Combo Pack for the birds
Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers Combo Pack for the flowers and the bird beaks
Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers Combo Pack for the shadows on the birds and the top of the branch
Soft Suede Light Stampin’ Blends Marker for the bottom of the branch
Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter

[144608] to blend the colours and add some highlights
