Bird in a Tree card

Posted on by

Here is a pretty card made using the gorgeous Beauty of Friendship stamp set and Beautiful Trees Dies.

Colours in this project are:

 To recreate the bird in a tree card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Soft Suede card – 4½” by 3½”
Old Olive card – 3¼” by 3½”
Beauty of the Earth dsp – 3½” by 3 ¼”
Beauty of the Earth dsp – 2½” by ¾”
Scrap Balmy Blue card

I stamped the ’ground’ image in 2nd generation Crumb Cake ink onto the Basic White card then ran the card through my Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Bark Embossing Folder. This gives such a gorgeous texture.

The tree trunk was die from the Soft Suede card using the Beautiful Trees Dies and added to the embossed card with the same liquid glue then trimmed off the overhang. I then die cut the tree canopy from the Old Olive card and added it with the same adhesive and trimmed it also.

The detailed final layer was die cut from the Beauty of the Earth dsp and added with Mini Dimensionals. The excess was then trimmed off and the whole panel was added to the Thick Basic White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Beauty of the Earth dsp and added Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with my Banner Triple Punch and added a piece of Fine Art Ribbon to the bottom before adding it to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut a bird from the scrap Balmy Blue card and added it to the tree. The card was completed with a trio of Brushed Metallic Dots.

Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies by Stampin' Up! used to make a sweet celebration card

Detailed Bands and Band Together

Posted on by

The card I am sharing today happened by complete chance. I had a piece of cardstock lying on my desk, the negative piece left over when I die cut one of the gorgeous Detailed Bands and I thought I would try to make something using it.

To recreate the Detailed Bands and Band Together card you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 1⅞”
Poppy Parade – 4⅛” by ½” x 2

Using Crumb Cake ink I randomly stamped the large flower onto the Crumb Cake card front.

Using the negative die cut strip as a stencil and a a piece of Sponge I added Petal Pink ink to the smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Leaving the stencil in position I placed the panel into the Stamparatus and positioned the detailed metal die face down on top, I added a second foam piece to raise up the panel. I added some temporary adhesive to the back of the die and closed the hinged panel picking up the die. I inked the die with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down.

I loved the vintage, shabby chic look. I did stamp the image twice. I removed the panel from the Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment with Poppy Parade in the middle.

The Poppy Parade strips were added to the top and bottom of the inked panel and adhered to the card base using Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower in Poppy Parade ink onto the remaining panel of Whisper White and glued it inside the card. The same image and ink were used to decorate the envelope. A trio of Red Rhinestones were added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you like it.
