It’s Thursday and time for another Krew Blog Hop! See what fun creations have been made for this sketch challenge.
This was a fun card to do , a different kind of sketch. I love mixing papers and this was a perfect opportunity to do that. The DSP is Take a Bow 6×6 DSP (page 39) from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog that goes live Sep 4. And this wreath is from Sophisticated Sled from the ONLINE store. More items from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini catalog are: the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder (page 31) to add texture to the large red panel in the background. and the ribbon is Real Red & White Baker’s Twine found on page 27. The embellishments are called Earth Tones Shimmer Gems and are found on page 31.
Card base – Garden Green 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
Real Red layer – 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with the Birch Wood 3D EF
Basic White – 3 x 4 1/2 with strips of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP, 1/4″ and 1/2″ widths, sentiment from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Garden Green ink, added to card front with dimensionals
Wreath – from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Garden Green ink & colored w/ Stampin’ Blends Granny Apple Green and Real Red, die cut with Sophisticated Sled Dies & added to card front with dimensionals
The double bow is Real Red and White Bakers Twine and added with a glue dot.
Embellishments are Earth Tone Shimmer Gems in Garden Green
For the inside of the card, Real Red is cut 4 x 5 1/4 and added to the card base. A basic White panel cut same size as the front piece (3 x 4 1/2) is stamped with a sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Garden Green ink and a cardinal from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Memnto ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends Real Red.
For the envelope, I used another panel of the Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to add to the flap, trimmed to fit, and stamped this same cardinal from Sophisticated Sled in Memento ink and colored it in Stampin’ Blends Real Red.

It’s Thursday and time for a fabulous hop from. the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Group! We have a color challenge today and I need thank you cards for some special folks. I created two for this color challenge using the Wildly Flowering Suite of products.
This is the 1st card, using several of the fabulous dies in the Wildflower Designs Dies, the dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and the stunning Wildly Flowering DSP. Oh, and let’s not forget the embellishments: the Adhesive-Backed Adhesive Dots. Here’s what I did… Crumb Cake card base with a layer of Early Espresso on the front, then a layer of the Wildly Flowering DSP that I embossed with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder – adhered to the Early Espresso. Next some die cutting: Basic White for the scalloped outline, Misty Moonlight and finally the DSP for the center. I had the Basic White piece already die cut and saved, but did die cut the Misty Moonlight – this scallop die cuts the scallop piece and from it the center – the Misty Moonlight panel you see in the photo. I used Tear n’ Tape to adhere the blue to the Basic White on the back side and added dimensionals in strategic places to adhere to the card front, centering it- see photo. I then adhered the DSP panel in place & wow, it looks great!
I took another piece of Misty Moonlight, rubbed it with my embossing buddy from the Embossing Additions kit (item 159971), stamped the sentiment from Wildflower Designs stamp set in VersaMark ink, sprinkled with with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the heat tool. I adhered this in place with liquid glue on the left side and mini dimensionals on the two right corners.I added five of the Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots – and the card front was complete.
I used the same floral stamp to and Early Espresso ink to decorate the Basic White panel for inside the card and the envelope. More of the same Wildly Flowering DSP covers the envelope flap.
This was fun – I die cut several hexagon shapes from the Wildly Flowering DSP, laying them in a row so as to have them ‘match’ as you look at the card. The matching is from left to right, not top to bottom. Here’s a photo of how I die cut these.
I should have taken a photo as I put the die cuts together on this card front, but didn’t 😦 Oh well. Adhere the DSP panels across the bottom, then add additional die cuts to fill in; trimming down and filling in the entire front. I stamped the flower in Memento ink and the sentiment in Moody Mauve ink – both stamps are from the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I used the Light Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blend to color the flower tips. I wrapped this gorgeous Natural Tones Linen Thread (in Garden Green) around the card front twice and tied a bow. I added the flower with mini dimensionals. The sentiment panel I punched with the Labeled with Love Punch and adhered it over the thread with dimensionals. Three Adhesive-Back Textured Dots were added near the sentiment panel.
On the inside of the card and the envelope, I stamped a different flower from Wildflower Designs stamp set in Memento ink and colored each with Stampin’ Blends Light Misty Moonlight and Light Old Olive.
These two card were a total CASE of cards shown in the Annual catalog page 40 – I just changed colors of thread, inks and DSP. I love these two cards and am excited to have them ready for those special notes I need to write. Handmade cards are simply the best! They share a bit of myself with each one made.

Hello , hello – it’s Thursday and time for another fun hop with the Inkin’ Krew! We have a theme challenge today – Critters – and I chose to use the Fluffiest Friends Bundle and coordinated it with the Friends for Life Bundle to make this cute shaker card.
The DSP is from the 24-26 In Color 6×6 pack of papers and the color is Pretty In Pink. I cut it 4 x 5 1/4, then die cut this sweet heart shape using the Friends for Life Dies. While I had those at my fingertips, I also die cut the word ‘friend’ in Basic White and a background in Pretty in Pink. I adhered these two word ‘frames’ together and set them aside. I turned the DSP over, ran a Stampin’ Seal along the edges and teeny tiny dots of liquid glue to areas of the center of the heart, then laid a window sheet on top (3 3/4 x 5) – adhering these together. Using the Foam Adhesive Strips, I created a boarder around the heart, then also around the edge of the DSP, placed several of the pink Loose Frosted Dots in the center of the heart area, peeled the backing off the adhesive strips and attached a Basic White panel, creating the background to the shaker card. :O) Next I stamped this adorable fluffy rabbit from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set: Memento ink on a Basic White scrap about 2×2 and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Smoky Slate, Light Pretty in Pink, Light Real Red for the cherry and Light Crumb Cake for the cupcake wrapper – and die cut it using the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. I adhered it in place with dimensionals. I also added Wink of Stella to the cupcake icing. I attached the word friend with liquid glue. As a final touch for the front, I added three 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems – in Pretty in Pink of course. I added this completed front panel to a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
That thin piece of die cut heart from the front is a very narrow strip, but I added teeny tiny dabs of liquid glue to it and attached it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty In Pink ink using the Friends for Life stamp set. I stamped another adorable ‘fluffy’ – a cat from Fluffiest Friends stamp set – in Memento ink on another Basic White scrap about 2 1/2 x 2 3/4. I did very little coloring on it: Stampin’ Blends Light Pretty in Pink for the ears, nose and flower and Crumb Cake on the flower pot., Light Old Olive for the leaf. I added a single yellow Loose Frosted Dot to the center of the flower. This was die cut with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Die and added in place with liquid glue.
For the envelope, another piece of the same 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front… another adorable beast, this time colored with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake and Pretty In Pink. The balloon was also colored with Light Pretty in Pink and I added Wink of Stella to that as well. It gives a nice sparkle to the balloon!
I love a shaker card – they just add an element of fun for whomever receives it – and they are fun to make as well! These products may be found in the 24-25 Annual Catalog – except for the Loose Frosted Dots, they are an ONLINE only product. I’ll post links below so you can find them easily :O)

Hello folks – it’s Thursday and we have a sketch challenge today. Because I needed a birthday card I pulled out the very cute & fun Hearts & Hugs bundle to create this card.
The creatures in this Hearts & Hugs bundle are just so incredibly C-U-T-E! I used Stampin’ Blends to color them after stamping on Basic White scraps with Memento ink: Gray Granite and Light Smoky Slate & the Color Lifter. For the ears/ cheeks, just a bit of Pretty in Pink. I used the Basic Black Marker to darken the noses. Once all colored I die cut them with the coordinating die from the Hearts & Hugs Dies. After coloring, I pulled the rest of the card together.
Card base: Smoky Slate 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer the card front with Take To The Sky DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
To meet the sketch challenge, I cut a piece of Basic White 3 x 4 and added another layer of DSP from Take To The Sky DSP 2 7/8 x 3 7/8. These were added to the card front with dimensionals
I put dimensionals on the back of the two hugging beasts (what are they?) and added them to the lower left corner.
Using the banner die from Hearts & Hugs Dies, I die cut a Blueberry Bushel tag & added it to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink – from Hearts & Hugs stamp set, trimmed it down and added it with dimensionals to the banner.
As a final touch, I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path
For the inside of the card, I stamped another cute beast – is this a chipmonk?) on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and colored him similarly to the two on the card front
stamp in Memento ink
color with Stampin’ Blends – Gray Granite, Light Smoky Slate, Color Lifter and bits of Pretty in Pink for the ears and cheekbones. The nose & eyes I used Basic Black Marker to darken.
I stamped the hearts in Pretty In Pink ink – again from the hearts & Hugs stamp set
For the envelope… more of the Take To The Sky DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.
Along the bottom of the envelope front I stamped the sentiment from Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Pebbled Path ink.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Make someone happy by sending them a handmade card filled with love.
It’s Thursday – and what that means is a HAPPY INKIN’ THURSDAY BLOG HOP! WooHoo! And… it’s a color challenge – which is always fun. I chose to nuse the fabulous Unbounded Beauty DSP to show it off in a first class way.
This is one of those ‘ideas’ to save to use for just about any DSP. Notice how the DSP image goes across the page, so when it was cut, it was intentional to cut it so the image ‘flowed across’. I does depend how the card is opened. If it opend from the top, the DSP ‘image’ would be from top/ down. got it?
Basics:
Card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 (opens from side) [Summer Splash]
Layer: 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 [Pretty in Pink]
DSP layer: 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 cut into thirds so 1 1/4 x 3 1/2 [Unbounded Beauty DSP]
Instructions:
Add DSP to layer, wrap with ribbon & secure w/ glue dot at knot
Add this to card front w/ dimensionals
Create die cuts and slip under ribbon, adhering w/ liquid glue (die cuts are from Flowers of Beauty Dies & cut from Summer Splash and Berry Burst card stocks)
Stamp sentiment (Berry Burst ink using Unbounded Love stamp set); die cut (Unbounded Love Dies) and add with glue dot or dimensionals, depending on ribbon
Add embellishments (24-26 In Color Resin Dots Pretty In Pink)
Card inside:
Layer: 3 1/2 x 4 1/4
Basic White: 3 1/4 x 4
Products used:
Unbounded Beauty DSP
Unbounded Love Bundle
Flowers of Beauty Bundle
Frayed 3/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon
24-26 In Color Resin Dots (Pretty in Pink)
Summer Splash card stock
Pretty in Pink card stock
Basic White card stock
Inks: Berry Burst (front), Pretty in Pink & Summer Splash
Envelope… more Unbounded Beauty DSP on the flap trimmed to fit; leaf from Flowers of Beauty stamped in Summer Splash full strength and then second generation.
And there you have it – all done! Change up the color of card stock, DSP, ribbon, die cuts and it becomes an entirely different card!

Hello Thursday! And that means another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve chosen to work with the Wildflower Designs stamp set, the Labeled with Love Punch and Full of Life 6×6 DSP to create my card.
I began by punching these fun shapes using the Labeled with Love Punch and Basic White card stock. I used scraps but you could cut two pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/2. I stamped these with two different flower designs – in Memento ink using Wildflower Designs stamp set. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends In Colors: Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock. I then used the Summer Splash ink and the splotch stamp in the same Wildflower Designs stamp set, stamped it off once and then on the flower. I varied the placement of the stamping so it didn’t look too uniform. With the stamping and coloring completed, I cut a Full of Life 6×6 DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, added two strips of Pretty in Pink card stock 1 x 4 1/8 with stampin’ Seal, then added the stamped flowers with dimensionals. I like to place my center panels first, then use equal spacing for the rest. I wrapped Black Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the card three times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimesnionals on the DSP and adhered it to a Petunia Pop card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. My final touch for the card front was adding Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in two colors.
For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of the same DSP as the card front. I also had a length of the Black Baker’s Twine that I tied in a bow and added as an enhancement. This panel was adhered in place and the card was complete.
For the envelope – a bit of another panel of Full of Life 6×6 DSP on the flap adhered in place and trimmed to fit. I stamped another of the pretty flowers from Wildflower Designs stamp set on the DSP and yet another flower on the envelope front – both in Memento ink. Again, I used the splotch stamp and Summer Splash ink to stamp over the flower in second generation ink. This is such a happy card – and I know to whom I’ll send it!

Today we have a theme challenge titled ‘birds’ and I have chosen to use the Charming Duck Pond bundle & it’s coordinating Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP – and made another front flap fun fold :O) For my birds – I chose to use these sweet ducks.
Oh my goodness – such a cute array of stamps and dies in this bundle. I especially like the dies! So let me explain how I did this card.
The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in Pretty Peacock. I layered it with a panel of 4 x 5 1/4 Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP. I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card stock 3 x 8 1/2 and scored it at 4 1/4. This was adhered to the card base front with the fold at the top and centered – this is the front flap fold. I decorated this first with another piece of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP in the same pattern as the card front, cut 2 3/4 x 4 and adhered it in place. From a Basic White panel 4 x 3 3/4 I centered this stunning circle die that cuts & embosses the fun design. It has cattails and reeds and lily pads – perhaps you can see the embossing on the cattails from this die. I created another die cut with Granny Apple Green card stock 1 x 3 for additional lily pads – and a scrap of Pretty Peacock for one more lily pad – and a flower in Pretty in Pink card stock. I layered these in place with liquid glue. The additional reed and cattails were die cut from another piece of the Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP and adhered these also with liquid glue. I took yet another piece to showcase these adorable ducks & cut this 3 7/8 x 3 5/8 and adhered it to the back of the Basic White die cut. These I added to another piece of Pretty Peacock cut 4 1/8 x 3 7/8 and adhered this to the front flap. For a sentiment… I used the Labeled with Love Punch and Pretty Peacock to create the sentiment banner. I cleaned the piece with the embossing buddy then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, then sprinkled with embossing powder over it and heat set with the heat tool. I punched another banner from basic White and adhered it to the back, trimmed the one end so as not to cover mamma duck and adhered it in place with liquid glue. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and the card front was complete.
For the inside I took a piece of basic White 2 3/4 x 4 and added a strip of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP, then attached this to the inside of the flap. Done!
The envelope back has a piece of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP adhered & trimmed to fit. The envelope front is stamped with two images from Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Memento ink, then colored with other stamps in the set: the duck… beak & feet with Pretty in Pink ink, body in Gray Granite ink, tail feathers in Pretty Peacock ink; the frog… body in Granny Apple Green ink and the lily pad in Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. What a fun set! Hope you enjoy this card.

We have a fun fold challenge for this Tuesday team blog hop and I’m using several of the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. Let’s take a peek.
This card is called a Front Flap Fun Fold.n I did a bit of die cutting using the Golden Greenery Dies and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (better known as SDSP) and the Graceful Greenery Vellum. The bells are die cut from the SDSP and the wonderful fronds from the vellum.
Card instructions:
Card base is Mossy Meadow 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Layer a panel of SDSP (here I used the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, plaid pattern), attaching with adhesive.
Cut a 3 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow piece and score at 4 1/4: attach to center of card, with fold at top of card base.
Cut 2 panels of Basic White 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 & decorate
Front panel of Basic White
I cut two Garden Green fronds and one Old Olive frond from the Graceful Greenery Vellum and adhered to one of the Basic White panels, centering them at top
I die cut the single bells from the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, adhered them together then added them over the fronds with dimensionals
I added a double Linen Thread bow to the top of the bells with a glue dot.
Stamp the sentiment and ampersand sign in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set (this also comes as a bundle – with dies – but I did not use those for this card)
Embellish with several Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems
Adhere this panel to the folded Mossy Meadow
Inside panel of Basic White
Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set
Stamp the fronds detail stamp in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink
Stamp the fronds full stamp in stamped off twice Mossy Meadow ink
Add panel to inside of flap card panel – and done!
Now for the envelope… cover the flap in a piece of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP and trim to fit. On the envelope front, stamp a different detail front in stamped off once Old Olive ink. Stamp the full frond in stamped off twice Old Olive ink – and this card is ready for that Christmas card pile.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Make someone happy when sending them a handmade card filled with love.
We have a fun sketch challenge today and I’m sharing a sneak peek of new DSP that’s part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and a suite of products: Season of Green & Gold 12×12 SDSP, Greetings of the Season stamp set (it’s a bundle really, but I only used the stamp set), and Golden Greenery stamp set (also a bundle but only used the stamp set for this card.)
This DSP is gorgeous – and I used the Basic Borders Dies for the fun accent trim. The final touch was adding Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots. To create this card…the card base is Garden Green card stock cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. I added a piece of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP cut 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered directly to the card base. I turned this same SDSP over to the other side and cut a piece 2 1/2 x 3, then trimmed it at an angle. I adhered only the far left corner to the card front. With the Basic Border dies and a strip of Old Olive 3/4 x 5, I cut a trim piece, then adhered that to a piece of Very Vanilla 1 x 5, then slipped it under the corner piece, adhering it in place. After all was adhered in place, I trimmed the overlapping Basic Border trims. I then added three embellishments in Pecan Pie from the Pecan Pie and Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots.
For the inside, I cut a Very Vanilla panel 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped it in Garden Green ink with the Greetings of the Season sentiment stamp. I added a strip of Basic Border die cut in Garden Green to coordinate with the card front.
For the envelope, I added a piece of the Season of Green & Gold 12×12 SDSP to the envelope flap then stamped the front of the envelope using the Golden Greenery stamp set and the pine bough stamp – first in Old Olive ink, then the detail pine bough in Mossy Meadow ink. And WooHoo, first holiday card!
Now, just have to say… I had unfinished elements of a card on my desk (anyone else have that?) and decided to use the pieces to follow the sketch. This card uses some retired SU! products but also uses a current bundle called Stippled Roses. The roses were stamped in Smoky Slate ink and colored with Blending Brushes and several inks: Pretty in Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Old Olive. After coloring I used Wink of Stella to add glam to all the dark lines of the design. The leaf die cuts are from Old Olive card stock. The embellishments are Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins – another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. The card base is Thick Basic White. The additional layers are Smoky Slate and a retired free DSP the name of which I do not remember. On the inside of the card is stamped the gorgeous leaves from Stippled Roses stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. I will add shopping information for this card as well, but separately. My main purpose is to share how using a sketch can bring a different level of creativity depending on the stamps/ dies/ and other elements used. Hope you enjoyed this bit of ‘extra’.
Now… time to visit the others participating in this blog hop. ENJOY!

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Make someone happy when sending them a handmade card filled with love.
Welcome! It is the 2nd Tuesday of the month and time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. I hope you enjoy the creations you see today. The theme is ‘celebrate summer’ and we can interpret that any way that inspires. I think you may see a lot of different ideas here today. I have chosen to work with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Country Birdhouse bundle to prepare today’s card.
This card uses two particular bundles: Country Birdhouse and it’s coordinating dies and Nested Friends and it’s coordinating dies. Nested Friends is now an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set, while Country Birdhouse is in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I began by making the birdhouse portion first then the rest of the card followed.
Directions:
Fold a piece of the Country Woods DSP (8 1/2 x 11 to 4 1/4 x 11)
Lay the birdhouse die (from Country Birdhouse Dies) along the fold line with one side of the roofline extending beyond the cutting line until it is OVER the fold – meaning it will NOT cut along the fold. (You can place either side of the roof beyond the fold). Die cut. You now have a birdhouse that opens & closes along one side of the roof. :O) YAY!
Die cut the hole opening using the appropriate die
Die cut the additional roof decorations from Country Woods DSP – noting the direction of the grain (this happens to be the Misty Moonlight color in the pack)
Die cut the bottom panel on the birdhouse – adhere all pieces. There is one die cut from Basic White and I layered it over the other two, where they are adhered together.
See that little small circle piece below the opening – that is supposed to indicate a landing spot for the birds!
Stamp the bird on the front in Memento ink and color with Watercolor Pencils: Real Red, Early Espresso, Basic Gray
These are house finches – the male has the red head and a bit of red down the front breast. Intermixed is some gray & brown.
I used short strokes, not covering the entire bird at once, to make it look more like feathers.
I colored the eye with a Basic Black Marker using the fine tip end
I clipped the beak down the center of it, cut a short length of Linen Thread, took the fibers apart and ‘encouraged’ them into the cut of the beak. I turned this item over and added a dot of liquid glue to secure the thread in place. I put dimensional on the bird and added it to the birdhouse front. The male finch is helping it’s partner build a nest – it’s what they do!
To create the opposite facing bird is called ‘reverse stamping’.
Using Memento ink, ink the stamp and stamp a Window Sheet, then turn the window sheet over and place it on a Basic White scrap. Rub over the window sheet without it moving, then lift window sheet. A bird stamped in reverse has been created!
Color it with Watercolor Pencils: mostly Early Espresso, Basic Gray, just a bit of real Red and some Crushed Curry. Keep going over this until satisfied with the result. This is a female finch!
Step 1: stamp window sheet
Step 2: turn window sheet over, ink side on card stock
First of all, more photos should have been taken! What you are seeing is the female finch bird already die cut & adhered in place. :O(
I used the Nested Friends stamp set for the nest, inked with Early espresso ink then used a sponge dauber to add a bit of Copper Clay in places, then stamped it directly to the inside of the birdhouse. I adhered the female finch inplace with liquid glue. I diec ut another piece of Country Woods DSP for the bottom strip on the birdhouse inside.
The card base is Early Espresso, 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. Adhered to that is a Country Woods panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 that I ran through the Timber 3D embossing folder. I stamped this wonderful branch in Early espresso ink using the Nested Friends stamp set, then die cut it with Nested Friends Dies. I adhered the tree branch in place with mini stampin’ dimensionals. I took a length of Linen Thread and put it over the branch and adhered it in place with Seal+. I adhered the birdhouse over that with liquid glue – to make it appear as though the birdhouse was hanging from the tree branch.
With the card front complete, I worked on the inside of the card.
I began by stamping the branch from Nested Friends in Early Espresso ink on the Basic White panel. Using the Country Birdhouse stamps, I stamped the bird on the left in Memento ink, then stamped the bird on the right using the Reverse Stamping method. I colored the leaves with Stampin’ Blends: Granny Apple Green. I stamped the sentiment from Country Birdhouse in Early espresso ink. With the stamping complete, I adhered this to a slightly larger Misty Moonlight, then to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, I used more of the Country Woods DSP to add to the flap, trim to fit. I stamped the bird on the right side using the reverse stamping technique as mentioned above.
