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.

Mosaic Mood was one of the first designer series paper packs I used way back in June last year. It is fitting that it finds its way into my last few projects of this catalogue year. I’ve therefore created this Mosaic Mood Birds card.

I’ve fussy cut these two birds out of the Mosaic Mood DSP. They are very easier to do even for me!! I am not a lover of fussy cutting so I can do it you can do it too. Everything is popped up on dimensionals which give this card extra interest.

This DSP has the feel of being heat embossed as parts of it are glossy like a mosaic. I’ve combined everything with a simple sentiment from the “A Wish for Everything” stamp set. I think it turned out well.

Mosaics were synonymous with the Romans. As some of you know I was born and bred in London which is a very old Roman city. The Roman named was Londinium. You can still see part of the Roman wall in the city. I remember my father showing it to me when I was very young and I’ve always been fascinated with it. I was lucky to move a few years ago to another old Roman told, Lincoln. Its Roman name was Lindum Colonia. There is also part of the old Roman wall about 5 minutes drive from me as well as the old arch going in the Bailgate area. I love history and I am blessed to live with so much history around me.
