I think this is my first time playing along with the TGIF Challenges. I really like this sketch. I started with the DSP called Bird Ballad. I layered it on the Daffodil Delight base and added the other design of paper banner I punched with the Triple Banner punch. I cut the stitched label die in white and stamped the sentiment from Free As A Bird in Memento Tuxedo Black. I stamped the flowers and the bird in Memento on white and colored with my Stampin Blends. I punched the leaf with the Leaf punch in Old Olive paper. I hand snipped the flowers and birds. I finished it off with the pearls. Sweet card and so pretty thanks to the paper.

This week, I am focusing on the lovely Bird Ballad Suite from the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Friday, I posted a project using Pool Party card stock with a stamped backgroun…

I loved creating with the new Free as a Bird Stamp Set that I decided to create some mini cards using the smaller images in the set. I created my cards using the same technique and layout I had used for my original card here. I added a splatter of Wink of Stella to the background - do you love a little sparkle? Isn't this little bird so cute? A bit of fussy cutting and some Dimensionals to pop it up on the background. Are you looking at this image and thinking it's not in the set exactly like this? You're right! I cut the three birds out from the large image then glued the branch back together! I also added some Iridescent Sequins because these are one of my favourite Stampin' Up!® products! Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week and see you back here again soon.

Hi Crafty Friends! I am super excited to share this sampler as it features brand new products! I was asked to present at the Stampin' Up! On Stage event in Charlotte, NC. I'm really excited about sharing the new products with lots of Stampin' Up demos and with all my crafty friends. You are going to love this suite, the stamp set, the DSP, the embellishments. The in studio class will be on May 22nd. I'll share the measurements and then we'll take a closer look at each block. 9" x 9" Whisper White 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" Petal Pink 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" Crumb Cake Bottom right rectangle: 2 1/4" x 4 1/2" Balmy Blue and Laser Cut card front and 2 3/8" x 4 5/8" Petal Pink Medium Rectangles: 2" x 4 1/2" Whisper White and Old Olive, 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" Balmy Blue, and 2 3/8" x 4 5/8" Petal Pink Upper Left Square: 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" Balmy Blue and Laser Cut card front and 2 3/8" x 2 3/8" Petal Pink Small Square: 2" x 2" Old Olive, 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" Balmy Blue, and 2 3/8" x 2 3/8" Petal Pink Label Banner: Whisper White and Balmy Blue Butterfly Gala, pearls, and Linen Thread Free as a Bird stamp set, colored with Stampin' Blends (Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and the background is colored lightly with Balmy Blue). The Petal Pink "frame is die cut with the new Nested Labels Die Cuts, I attached this with our Foam Strips. I stamped the image on the 2" x 4 1/2" piece of Whisper White and then stamped them again on a piece of scrap, colored them, and then fussy cut them out so that I could pop them up. The flowers are from the Free as a Bird stamp set, colored with Stampin' Blends and fussy cut, The Old Olive square is embossed with the Falling Petals embossing folder. This is the new 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim. Isn't this the cutest bird ever? He's colored with Smokey Slate and Soft Suede. I added a piece of the lace trim and one of the new Bird Ballad Trinkets as well as a pearl. I love this laser cut paper! Use just little dabs of Tombo to attach it to the Balmy Blue piece. The branch and blossoms are from the Colorful Seasons Dies, and the butterflies are from Butterfly Gala. I die cut the letters in the DSP and then off set them with letters in Balmy Blue card stock. They're attached with our foam strips. I really love how these projects add to my home decor. I hope that you have a fun time creating a sampler that you can display proudly in your home. If you have questions, let me know. I can be reached at [email protected]. The new products will be available for ordering on June 3. Or join my team and order in May!

Hi Stamping Friends, I had so much fun on my Facebook LIVE today! I shared two completely different projects and both were sneak peeks! The first pair of projects I shared are the focus of today's post! They feature the new Bird Ballad suite of products from the upcoming 2019-2020 Catalog,

Hallo allemaal! Vandaag een kaartje gemaakt met de Woven Threads suite: Deze suite bevat het mooie Woven Threads DSP papier. De kleuren die hierin zitten, zijn alle nieuwe In Colors. Daarnaast bestaat de bundle deze keer uit de stempelset Woven Heirlooms en de Heirloom Frames dies & 3D embossingfolders. Ja, je leest het goed, deze bundle bestaat dus uit drie producten! De lijstjes die je maakt met de dies en embossingfolder zijn echt supermooi! Op deze kaart heb ik gekozen voor een shakerlijstje. Extra feestelijk voor een verjaardagskaartje. De bloemen komen niet uit deze stempelset, maar zijn van de Free as a Bird stempelset. Maar hier komen ze ook mooi tot hun recht! De tekst in het frame heb ik met wit embossingpoeder bewerkt. Op het mooie blauwe papier komt dat goed uit. Deze suite bevat ook nog lint en sequins. Mocht je alles in de suite mooi vinden en willen bestellen, dan kan dat tegenwoordig met een bestelnummer: 152184. Hoe handig is dat? Nou, ben benieuwd wat jij van deze suite vindt. De meningen zijn er nogal over verdeeld... Lieve scrapgroetjes, Miriam

I was so excited to play with all the designs in my Bird Ballad Designer Paper Package, and decided to try to use almost every pattern while making these cards!! Tips for this Easy Card Design! Just create a regular A2 size folded card, then take 7/8' off the front flap. Cut your Bird Ballad Designer Paper to 3' x 5-1/4' and place it on the front flap, then add a 4' x 5-1/4' Whisper White piece inside. The circle I used is a 2-1/4' circle punch, layered onto a Scalloped circle from the Layering Circle dies. Guess

Hello and good morning! Today I am starting a share of one of my favourite suites in the new catalogue, the Bird Ballad Suite which I think is going to be a really popular product. We will be making a card with this stamp set at my launch events this weekend on Friday evening and Saturday morning, would love to see you there! I will also be holding a huge BOGOF sale, more details on that tomorrow! The Bird Ballad Suite is a popular choice from the new catalogue and I've so many lovely things to share with you that I have already made with it. Today's is a Z Fold Card which is basically a standard A6 size card with an extra score and folded back on itself. New new shaped dies are also part of the Bird Ballad Suite and come in an amazing bundle with the stamp set! I'm looking forward to sharing more makes with you later in the week. Have a great day today whatever you are up to!

Welcome to the July Creation Station Blog Hop. We've got your back this month! The team is making handcrafted backgrounds to inspire your own creative spirit. Be sure to click on the next button at the end of each post to see every design team member's background creations. Making my own backgrounds is something I love to do. I've shown many different background techniques on past Creation Station blog hops, so I wanted to try something new (at least new to me!). This one is a twist on a watercolor background technique. I love watercolor backgrounds because they always turn out differently. I did a couple of practice runs just to see how the ink colors worked together and then I went for it! The backgrounds each started with stamping the leaf and script images from the Very Versailles stamp set in VersaMark ink onto watercolor paper and embossing them with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. To add the color, I first brushed water over the watercolor paper with my Aqua Painter. Next, I used my ink pads to place ink on my Clear Block F. I spritzed the ink on the clear block, dipped a piece of Window Sheet into the puddled ink, and pressed the inked up window sheet into the embossed watercolor paper. I kept the ink puddles separate and cleaned off my window sheet when I switched colors. I used my Aqua Painter to move the color around a bit as needed and a paper towel to remove excess water. Once the paper was dry, I added splatters to the background. For the background on this card I used Pool Party, Old Olive and a bit of Daffodil Delight inks. I created a frame using two sizes of dies from the Stitched Nested Labels dies and Old Olive card stock. The bird and flowers image was fussy cut from a pattern in the Bird Ballad designer series paper pack. "Hello" is from the Free As A Bird stamp set and was punched out with the Classic Label Punch. The watercolor paper is layered on Old Olive card stock and the card base is Whisper White Thick card stock. I added a few Basic Pearls to finish the card. Before creating the background on this card, I made a mask using one of the Stitched Nested Label Dies and copy paper. I used Washi tape to adhere the mask to the watercolor paper and then stamped the images. I carefully removed the mask before embossing, then replaced it and sealed all the edges around the inside of the mask with Washi tape before I started adding the ink. I did not want the ink to travel outside the footprint of the mask. I also added the splatters before removing the mask. I used Seaside Spray and Old Olive inks on the background. The bird image from Free As A Bird stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink and then colored with Stampin' Blends: Seaside Spray combo, Petal Pink combo, Soft Suede combo, Old Olive combo, Daffodil Delight light, and the Color Lifter. The greeting is also from the Free As A Bird stamp set. I fussy cut both the bird image and the greeting piece. The watercolor piece is layered on Seaside Spray card stock and then adhered to a Whisper White Thick card stock base. I finished the card with a Seaside Spray faceted dot and a few Basic Pearls. I hope you are inspired to try this fun background technique on your projects. Now it is time to head on over to Dena's blog, The Creativity Cave. I can't wait to see what she has for us today.

I've been in a creative slump for a few weeks and too busy to try to get out of it. So, I cleared a couple hours yesterday to sit down and create!

Learn how to make a fun fold card called a Double Point Fold. If you love easy and unique cards then this week's video is for you!

Time to update my blog and I'm starting with these Birdhouse Cards I made a while ago. Firstly, I had already cut out most of the images from two sheets of the Stampin' Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series

Some therapeutic fussy cutting of the Bird Ballad papers for a Customer appreaition gift and two simple, yet effective greetings cards to send.

After over 16 years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I can't really say I have a favorite Annual Catalog. However, the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog "Creativity is Calling" ranks at the top of my list. I love lots of things about this new catalog, but the stamp sets and suites of products are outstanding. It is hard to pick and choose what I will purchase--there are so many that I absolutely love. The retiring stamp set Best Birds is one of my most used and loved sets. When I saw the new Bird Ballad suite, I knew it would be a more than worthy replacement. I love the stamp set, the wonderful nested labels dies, the designer series paper and all of the accessories. Included in the suite is a beautiful tin in Petal Pink with a gold leaf design filled with 12 laser cut cards and envelopes. I used one of the cards for my project today. I created this card for my team shoebox swap: The laser cut design on the front of the card shows the inside of the card, so the written note inside the card distracts from the outside design. I solved this issue by layering a piece of the Bird Ballad designer series paper to the backside of the laser design. I used a less busy pattern from the paper pack to highlight the laser cut design--but it has a pretty side on the back and that decorates the inside of the card: TIP: I cut my piece of designer series paper for this card just a bit too small at 4" x 5-1/4". I recommend that you cut it at 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" so you have enough room to apply Multipurpose Liquid adhesive to adhere the paper to the card without a glue showing on the edges. I also recommend that you just do small dots of the glue around the edge of the paper, so it does not ooze out of the sides and under the laser design. For the front of my card, I added a greeting from the Free as A Bird stamp set. It is die cut with one of the Stitched Label dies in the suite. I stamped three of the leaf image from the stamp set, colored them with an Old Olive Light Stampin' Blend, fussy cut them and then arranged them on the back of my greeting piece. I adhered the greeting piece to the front of the card with Stampin' dimensionals, then add a Linen Thread bow and one of the flowers from the Bird Ballad Trinkets. Make sure you check out the new Bird Ballad suite when you get your copy of "Creativity is Calling". You are going to love it! Thanks for stopping by today!--Sara Nell
