Inspirational Sketches

Hi again,

We have birds building a nest in a tree just outside our kitchen window so that was my inspiration for today’s card.

I cut the circle with a die from the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I used a retired decorative mask and applied Crumb Cake ink (#147116) with a Blending Brush (#153611). I then stamped the nest from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) with Early Espresso ink (#147114).

The bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). The bird was then fussy cut.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing folder (#156406). The strip of DSP from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was taped to the card front, then this was matted with Early Espresso card (#121686).

“Happy Birthday” from the Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736) was stamped with Early Espresso ink and cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424).

The circle & bird were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Everyday Details

Hi everyone,

I have used the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) and the Everyday Details dies (#162864) on this card today.

I stamped the teacup image from the Everyday Details stamp set with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Boho Blue (#161659), Lost Lagoon (#161680) and Poppy Parade (#154958). The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050).

I used the Everyday Details dies to cut the 2 stamped images. The Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (#161467) was matted with the Poppy Parade card (#121694), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment & teacup were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). That was an easy card!!

Everyday Details

Hi everyone,

Do you find that you often want a different sentiment on a card than what you used originally. I think this year I will do more cards without sentiments and add it later or just leave the front without a sentiment so that’s what I have done on this card.

This stamped image is from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861). I stamped this with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Sweet Sorbet (#159224), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Highland Heather (#154887), Orchid Oasis (#159223), Ivory (#154922) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I added glimmer with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The die to cut this is from the Garden Meadow Dies (#162740). The Designer Paper is from the retired Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper, and was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The stamped image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The cute bird embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).
