Recycled Birds of a Feather

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  It is Saturday evening here and perfect weather to be inside and creating. Today's card has been created using Spellbinders Dies and a recycled image.  I am sure I am not the only one who likes to recycle - some things are just too good to  only use once - definitely the case with these gorgeous birds.

Cut/emboss two (2) Nestabilities Romantic Rectangles Two Etched Dies using white card stock and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform.   Score one of the die cuts at 1.5cm and fold forward.  Add double sided tape to the folded forward portion and attach the second die cut to form the card base - making sure to line up the patterned sides.

Emboss patterned paper using the Flourish Stitch Em-bossing Fold'ers Quilt It by Lene Lok.  Trim to size and adhere to the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  Cut/emboss the largest die from the Shapeabilities Laced with Love Fleur Essence Etched Dies using white card stock. Adhere one third of the way down the card front, upside down adding adhesive at the top and bottom only.

Add a Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L Gold Photo Corners to the top two corners of the recycled image.  Pop up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares, tucking the end of the image into the lower portion of the die cut.

Stamp the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Elegance Becca Feeken Graceful Tiny Tag Stamp and Die Set.  Cut/emboss the sentiment using the tag from the Laced with Love Fleur Essence Etched Dies, adhere across the lower portion of the recycled image,  Add Want2Scrap Baby Bling - Turquoise Rhinestones to the die cuts.

Appreciate What Is

Hello friends - it is Sunday evening here but it has felt like Monday all day to me - funny how that happens - I am not sure why - do you know what I mean - or is it just me!?!

I could not resist creating a card using the Bird Crazy Stamps by Tim Holtz - just quietly - I am looking forward to getting my hands on the Cat Crazy stamps too - there is something so appealing about them and I know I am not the only one.

My patterned paper has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Labels Forty Etched Dies.  The Cosmo Cricket paper has then been randomly sponged using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko yellow ink and daubers, followed by pink and orange.  Postmarks have been added using Memento Espresso Truffle Ink,  The white drips are from the irRESISTIBLEs Embellisher in Memento Luxe Wedding Dress.

The Bird Crazy image has been coloured using Memento Inks and Sponge Daubers - I love that technique!  My sentiment is from Hero Arts,

Quietfire March Guest Designer - Each of us Has a Song

Hi, I am excited to be back for my second post as the March Guest Designer for Quietfire Design - using a stamp set and a separate sentiment that goes so well with it.   I love these sentiments and images - the calligraphy reminds me of my beautiful Nana - it was a preferred style of hers - it is not hard to see why!

I would love you to pop across and see the whole card - and leave the Quietfire Designs ladies a little love!!  You can see it here.

Thank you so much for having me and all of the encouraging comments you have left me - it has been a fabulous privilege being a Guest Designer - I hope you have been inspired in some way!
