Free as a Bird – Thanks For Being You
Free as a Bird – Thanks For Being You
I’ve seen lots of projects created using the new Free As A Bird stamp set in the new Annual Catalogue, and I’m itching to create something myself but first I thought I would create a card using the coordinating Patterned Paper – Bird Ballad DSP instead.
This was one paper collection I was struggling to bring myself to cut. But it’s no use just sitting there, and plus I think it looks so much better when you cut your paper and actually use it on your greeting cards
Supplies:
- Stamps – Free as a Bird (149468)
- Ink – Soft Suede (147115), Petal Pink (147108)
- Paper – Whisper White (106549), Bird Ballad DSP (149592)
- Other –Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Bird Ballad DSP (149592), Linen Thread (104199), Scallop Lace Trim (149593), 2-1/4″ Circle Punch (143720), Stitched Nested Labels Dies (149638)
Dimensions:
- Thick Whisper White CS: 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″
- Whisper White CS: Scrap piece
- Bird Ballad DSP: 4″ x 2-1/2″
Directions:
- Ink the small flower image with Petal Pink Ink, stamp off onto a scrap piece of paper and then onto the top right and bottom left of the Thick Whisper White CS base. Be sure to ink and stamp off in between each image
- place the long die down the left side of the Thick Whisper white CS centering between the top and bottom and run that through your die cutting machine. This will leave an impression in your cardstock
- Adhere the Bird Ballad DSP on your card front close the the die impression
- Punch a bird image from Patterned Paper with the 2-1/4″ circle punch. Adhere some Lace trim to the back and adhere with dimensionals to your card front
- Stamp your greeting in Soft Suede ink onto Whisper White CS and cut out. Adhere to the card front
- Tie linen thread into a bow and adhere just under the greeting using a glue dot. You’re Done!
