Stampin' with Picture Perfect Bird

Hi All

Just wanted to share this card I created using the sketch from CC&S#182 with the bird stamp from Picture Perfect set.

The Picture Perfect stamp set consists of 4 images that uses the 2 Step Stamping technique which creates the photo realistic result. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure each layer aligns perfectly.

Stamped on Very Vanilla card, fussy cut and mounted on Mint Macaron using the Layering Circles die. The colours used for the bird are, Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo and Crumb Cake. I then used Real Red & Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Markers and a white pigment pen to add more colour to the body and eyes before coating most of the image with Gold Wink of Stella.

I used one of the leaf die from Botanical Builder, coloured with Garden Green, Old Olive, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Markers and Wink of Stella before folding over and sticking wire on the middle for extra support. The small flower die is also from the Botanical Builder set, coloured with Tempting Turquoise and Pumpkin Pie.

I am entering this card to the following challenges:

Cas Colours & Sketches #182 - Sketch

Glitter 'n' Sparkle #197 - Anything Goes

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #153 - CAS

Crafting From The Heart #121 - Anything Goes

Happy Birthday Mum

Hi

Thanks for stopping by our blog, todays is a special card I made for my Mum for her birthday a few days ago. 

Its a magic slider card and was my first time of making one. It's such a fun card to make and is definitely a fun card to receive especially if the person getting it has never seen a slider card before. 

 

To make this card I have used several techniques and products as well as the new layering Squares Framelits Dies which are perfect for this style of card to create a perfect window opening. Other tools used was the Stamp-a-ma-jig, it's an essential tool needed to create the overlap. The sentiment is from the new Birthday Banners Stamp set and die cut from the Large Numbers Framelits Dies. I finished the card off with some Pearl Basic Jewels and string.  I have chosen to use the Mint Macaroon and Cucumber Crush colours from the Stampin' Up range, but Stampin' Up! have a wide selection of Colours to choose from if greens are not your thing.

YouTube has plenty of detailed videos if you want to get ideas of how its all put together. Just search Magic Slider Cards.

Please leave us a comment below if you like this card or if you have any question. All the products used to create this can be purchased from our 24/7 Online Shop. 

Thanks again for looking and we hope we have Inspired you to Create and Share something new.

Happy Crafting
