A Little Birdie Told Me

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  Today I have a simple and whimsical card to share with you, I like to have card that are suitable for any occasion on hand, especially birthdays and also for the shop that sells my cards - so handy if you need a card at short notice.

Who can resist these adorable birds from Katzelkraft.  They have been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured using Chameleon Pens, fussy cut/hand cut out using scissors.

The card front has been cut using Graphic 45 patterned paper, this has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut  white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares. The birds have also been popped up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.

The clouds have been cut/embossed using Spellbinders Die D-Lites Sun and Clouds Etched Dies,  next they have been trimmed to size and glued onto the card front.  The sentiment is from The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Bird Crazy  - I love that sentiment!. It has been stamped onto black card stock using Imagine VersaMark ink and White Embossing Powder has been applied and then set using a Heat Tool.  Next it has been trimmed and popped up below the birds using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares in black.

Wine Collection - Congrats

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a second card using dies from the Wine Country collection by Stacey Caron. These dies are full of beautiful details and are so much fun to colour, with any medium, or cut using coloured card or patterned paper.  You can see the first card I have shared using this Collection HERE.

Create the card base by folding cream card stock 12cm x 12cm with a top fold.  Cut/emboss using the largest die from the Nestabilities Labels 59 Etched Dies Wine Country by Stacey Caron and  the Platinum™ 6 Die Cutting And Embossing Machine; making sure to keep the fold inside the cutting edge of the Die.

Using Canvas Corp Kraft/Gold card stock cut/emboss the largest Die from the Shapeabilities Labels 59 Decorative Accents Etched Dies Wine Country by Stacey Caron.  Adhere to the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.  

 Cut/emboss the third largest dies from Nestabilities Labels 59 Etched Dies Wine Country by Stacey Caron the Nestabilities using cream card stock, use the Die as a stencil and sponge inside the cutting edges using Imagine Delicata ink in Golden Glitz.  Pop up onto the layered card front also using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L Crafty Foam Tape.

Cut/emboss the Wine Bottle and the Wine Glass from the Shapeabilities Wine Charms Etched Dies Wine Country by Stacey Caron using cream card stock.  Colour the Die cuts using Chameleon Pens.  Cut/emboss the Vine Cluster from the Labels 59 Decorative Accents Etched Dies Wine Country also using the Canvas Corp Kraft/Gold card stock, add colour using Chameleon Pens. 

 Pop up the elements onto the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.  Adhere three Want2Scrap Baby Bling - Brown Rhinestones onto each edge of the card front.  Adhere a computer generated sentiment using double sided tape.
