Birthday card created using Stampin' Up! Sweet Songbirds Stamp set with a blue birdie sitting on a branch singing


To create today's card, I used a base card of Orchid Oasis Cardstock.  Then a thin layer of Basic White.  Then a layer of one of the prints from the 2022-2024 In Color 6" X 6" Designer Series Papers. 



Handmade greeting card idea using the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set and coordinating Songbird Builder Punch from Stampin' Up!


Then, I die cut a Basic White Stitched Circle using Stylish Shapes Dies  and stamped the branch in Crumb Cake ink, and the leaes in Parakeet Party ink.  I stamped one of the Songbird images from the Sweet songbirds Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis ink and punched out the body of the bird using the Sweet Songbird Builder Punch.  I stamped eys in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, punched the beak from Mango Melody cardstock, and punched the wing from 2022-2024 In Color 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.    

Cards created using Sweet Songbirds Bundle from Stampin' Up!




To complete the card, I added dimensionals to the back of the Songbird I assembled, and added it to the stitched circle.  Then I stamped the songbird notes in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the Basic White Circle.  I die cut a Basic White sentiment banner using the Stylish Shapes Dies, and stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink, to complete my card.  

Below are the tools used to create these cards.

Introducing Stampin' Up! Abigail Rose Suite

           

  • Stampin' Up! Abigail Rose Suite
  • Pick of the Crop June Paper Pumpkin Kit 
  • May In Color Starter Kit Special! 
You'll enjoy creating handmade project using the Abigail Rose Suite.  Today, I've used blossoms from the Abigail Rose 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, the new Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder and sentiments from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set to create these cards.  I colored the floral print using Pale Papaya Blends, Old Olive Blends and Crumb Cake Blends, but they look just as beautiful with no coloring at all.  I added a Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon bow, and a couple of Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a little bling.  Blossoms from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set of the Abigail Rose 12 X 12 Designer Series Paper can be used to create simple designs with a solitary blossom, or layed for full bouquets.  I predict Abigail Rose will be one of the hottest suites from this year's Annual Catalog.  Add it to your Shopping List today! 

Handmade floral greeting card for a friend using elements from the Abigail Rose Suite from Stampin' Up!


To create today's card, I used a base card of Pale Papaya Cardstock.  Then a thin layer of Smoky Slate.  Then another layer of Pale Papaya Cardstock dry embossed using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.

Then, I selected a blossom from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and fussy cut it,  Then I used alcohol-based Pale Papaya, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Blends Markers to color the image, before popping it up on Dimensional and addig it to my card front.
