Little Birdie Crafts Jar of Flowers

Hello friends, welcome and thanks for stopping by.  I have been making the most of being inside with the heat, although I must say we have enjoyed some rain and thunder storms in the evenings over the past week.  I have enjoyed playing around with some of the Little Birdie Crafts products and have to say they are a little bit addictive!!

The pre-embossed card stock from my stash has been adhered to a slightly larger card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-ZAdhesive Runner Ultra, and cut/embossed using the Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies .  The card front has been  cut/embossed using patterned paper using the largest two dies from the Nestabilities Hemstitch Ovals Etched Dies Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca Feeken.   Narrow ribbon in both blue and orange have been wrapped around the layered card front and glued in the centre.

The Little Birdie Crafts Stamps- Flowerful Gratitude, has been stamped onto white card stock and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  Next the image has been cut/embossed using the third largest die from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine; and then popped up onto the layered card front. 

 A double blue and orange bow has been glued onto the left side of the image.  A flower from the Little Birdie Crafts Handmade Flower Beaded Blooms- Pastel Palette, has been glued to the knot of the bow.

Little Birdie Crafts Birthday Wishes and Flowers

Hello friends welcome and thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy Australia Day to all of my Australian friends - I hope you celebrated this amazing country in some form or other.  We had a quiet day because of the extreme temperatures but had a family dinner, which is always wonderful.  

I have been making the most of being inside and have enjoyed playing around with some of the Little Birdie Crafts products and have to say they are a little bit addictive!!

The patterned paper from my stash has been cut into squares and layered onto recycled cardboard; each of the squares has been paper pierced by hand. and cut/embossed using the Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies and lightly sanded.  The card front has been adhered to a pre-cut card base using Adhesive Sheets 4 x6.

The flowers from the Little Birdie Crafts Clear Stamps - Floral Greetings have been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, next they have been coloured using Chameleon Pens.  The flowers are fussy cut/hand cut using scissors and popped up onto a panel that has been stenciled using the Little Birdie Crafts Stencil - Dots in brown and gold inks and cut/embossed using the third largest die from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and popped up onto the card front using Scrapboook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.

The CHIPBOARD ON YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES has been coloured in an Ombre style using Chameleon Pens and coated using Imagine irRESISTibles Pico Embellisher in Shimmer.  A length of lace from my stash has been glued along the lower portion of the card front and small Lecreme pearls added along the Lacy pattern.

Wishing You a Lovely Day

Hello friends, thank you for visiting - it is always lovely to know you have been.  My card for today is a simple card and quite easy to create but not lacking in 'prettiness' - I am using a little bit of creative license there!  Wink:wink!

The card front has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Card Creator Emmeline Treillage Etched Dies Venise Lace by Becca Feeken.  The Die cut has been trimmed and popped up onto pre-cut white card stock.  This has in turn been adhered to a pre-cut card base.

The Flourishes,lc image has stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  It has then been fussy cut/hand cut using scissors and popped up onto he centre of the card front using  Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares .

A strip of  Want2Scrap Glitter Washi Tape in Toffee has been adhered to the top right and lower left corners and a computer generated sentiment adhered to both strips of Washi Tape.  I do have to add here that this Washi Tape is amazing stuff - it is so soft, almost like silk and easy to work with - you can click on the link above to check it out. Baby bling pearls have been added to each sentiment.
