A Bird Ballard Stamp-a-Stack

Today I am sharing the projects made by the ladies who came to my Bird Ballard Stamp-a-Stack yesterday. On arrival each lady was given a kit bag containing a pack of the Bird Ballard designer series paper (dsp), a pack of the Iridescent sequins, 20 co-ordinating card bases, 20 envelopes and all the pre-cut layers to make 20 cards; 2 each of 10 designs. They also had a little chocolate treat to keep them going.

Free As A Bird for the Global Design Project #188

Today I am sharing a card made for the Global Design Project Challenge #188 – CASEing the designer – in this case the super talented Brian King. To make the card I used the Make & Take supplies from the recent OnStage. I am always too busy chatting to make up the projects on the day…….. ho hum..

To recreate the Bird Ballard card

Pool Party card base 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party cardstock 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White 5½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside
Whisper White 4¼” by 2½”
Bird Ballard dsp 4” by 3”
Scrap Poppy Parade for die cutting
Scrap Whisper White for the sentiment

I had stamped the bough of birds in memento Tuxedo Black ink whilst at OnStage; I love this image and can’t wait for my stamp set to arrive. I coloured the image in using the following Blends – Crumb Cake combo, Old Olive combo, Poppy Parade combo, Daffodil Delight combo and the Colour Lifter.

I ran the Pool Party panel through the Big Shot using the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and glued it to the Pool Party card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I ran a strip of Snail in the centre of the embossed panel and added the strip of Vanilla Lace.

The stamped and coloured piece was adhered to the dsp layer with the Liquid Adhesive and mounted it onto the card front with Dimensionals.

I die cut the word ‘wishes’ from the Well Written set of dies three times from scrap Poppy Parade cardstock and glued them one on top of the other to give some dimension to the sentiment. The dies cut piece was then added to the card front with same liquid adhesive.

The word ‘birthday’ was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. The piece was then cut down and one end flagged. It was glued onto the card front with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
