FREE AS A BIRD CARDS:

Hello there! Today I have 2 cards to share with you! Both are projects that SU! shared with us to use in our business or make just for fun! We get a weekly email every Tuesday called Weekly Success which gives us lots of ideas for creating projects for fun or for classes, and business-building help as well. They share an Event of the Month which includes several projects like this one and they even provide full-color flyers with instructions and supplies needed!

I used this design from one of their flyers for my Card Buffet. I started with a Pool Party base and added another layer on top that I ran through the Big Shot using the Stitched Lace Dies. I attached it with Dimensionals and added a layer of Bird Ballad DSP on top.

I then added a layer of Vellum Cardstock with Glue Dots. I stamped the bird onto Whisper White Cardstock with   Memento black ink and colored it with Stampin' Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating Stitched Nested Labels and attached it with Dimensionals. I folded a piece of Scalloped Lace Trim in half and adhere it on top with Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment with Memento black ink onto So Saffron Cardstock and adhered it on top. I finished it off with a Linen Thread bow that I strung a Bird Ballad Trinket and tucked it under the sentiment with a Glue Dot. This was a favorite at Card Buffet!

This card is one of the Make & Takes we made at OnStage in San Antonio in April. We got to play with the brand new Bird Ballad Suite-my PRODUCT OF THE WEEK, almost 2 months before the catalog went live to our customers!

I started with a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base and added a layer of Bird Ballad DSP. I stamped the image onto Whisper White Cardstock using Memento black ink. I colored the birds with Stampin' Blends and used a Watercolor Pencil to lightly color the background.

I attached the image to the DSP with SNAIL and added the Scalloped Lace Trim with Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment with Memento black ink onto Old Olive Cardstock and attached it with Dimensionls. I finished it off with a bow made with the trim and attached it with a Glue Dot.

I love how SU! provided 2 different projects for different skill levels. This one would be a perfect project for a workshop or home party with beginner stampers and the above project is perfect for more advanced stampers.
