How to use Birds & Branches Stamp Set in a Card – Friendship Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The Birds & Branches stamp set has sat in my stash for nearly a year unused. I wanted to use it but have always struggled to use birds in my cards. What do you think of this one? I think it really works with the sentiment.

The birds are stamped with the two- step stamping technique. This gives them their yellow and brown plumage. You could try any combinations of plumage of your choice but I preferred the So Saffron and Soft Suede. The foliage I die cut out of Mossy Meadow cardstock with adhesive sheet on the back. This made them super easy to stick down. If you have’t ever used adhesive sheet I would highly recommend you try it as it makes it so easy to stick down intricate die cuts.

  • Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper – 14.35cm X 10cm

I normally struggle with shaker cards but this one was super easy to make and I was over the moon with how it turned out. How pretty is this card? These shaker mason jar domes are seriously cute. I’m definitely buying a few more packs to hoard. Everything is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Colouring in is so therapeutic. It keeps me out of mischief for hours!!

The stamp set is Jars of Love. It comes with many different bunches of flowers and even the stems to stamp in the jar. I’ve fussy cut the flowers out and of course there is a matching mason jar punch.

I was so excited to see gilded flakes in the new mini catalogue. They are so much to play with. One world of warning is that once out of the pot they won’t go back in, they just seem to mushroom and grow. Consequently they last for ages. I put mine in a tin to keep the mess in.

There are a number of ways to use gilded flakes. In the video below I show you how to use it with heat & stick powder and versamark. You use it though with Tombow and tear & tape. I will show be doing these techniques in later videos so make sure you are subscribed to my YouTube to get alerts.

I’ve been having fun playing with my new blending brushes. Initially I ordered one pack which has three brushes but recently order two more packs I now a brush for each colour in the colour wheel as well as grey and brown. I just clean them off after use on a towel and they are good to go.

I used three different blues to create this background starting with lightest, Balmy Blue, then Pacific Point and finally Night of Navy. Layering the colours always creates extra depth and interest in the background I feel.

  • Pacific Point A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White – Quarter A4 sheet.

I had such fun colouring in this card using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The colours I used were based on the colours in the designer series paper. The paper is the Berry Delightful and is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve made quite a few projects with it already. I’ve a little amount of paper left and yes I’m hoarding it now. This paper and accompanying stamp set is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration.

Come Under My Umbrella – Friendship – Card Tutorial – Independent Stampin’ Up! Tutorial based in Lincoln UK.

I think this card came out so cute. I’ve stamped on designer series paper (DSP) here. It really works. The sentiment matches the wellies and umbrella perfectly. The umbrella has a matching punch and I fussy cut out the wellies. It is really easy to do. I brought the yellow into the rest of the card with the Playing with Patterns resin dots. My favourite bit though is the little butterfly sitting on the handle of the umbrella.

This card only uses ink, paper and card. The colour is Terracotta Tile. It is one of the 2019 – 2021 in colours that retires this year. I am trying to use these colours and enjoy them before they retire. I’ve used my favourite blending brushes to create a background that fades to white. I’ve then stamped over with the same colour using the Corner Bouquet stamp set. I like the effect. The rhinestones just give it that special something.

How many of you search Pinterest for inspiration? Yes, I’ve fallen down that rabbit hole. I saw this project on there and adapted it to my own style. I hope you like it. This designer series paper (DSP) is Berry Delightful. It’s beautiful and reminds me of summer. Personally, I can’t wait for summer. Do you grow any fruit? We do grow vegetables but not fruit, perhaps this year we might try some strawberries.
