Here’s a cute card using the March Stamp of the Month, S1603 Sunshine Birdies.
I used this sketch from Retro Sketches to create the card:
I used left over paper from the Whimsy Fundamental Collection. I love the patterns and colors in this assortment. You can see the embossed watermark pattern on the Thistle and Crystal Blue papers and on the Pixie, I turned it over and showed off the white and pixie pattern. All the papers in the assortments are double sided.
I don’t make off-sized cards often so it was nice to step outside my norm and try something different. These cards are 4″x4″. You can use a A5 envelope to mail them. I stamped and colored in all the images with using a watercolor pen and ink from the top of the ink pads. Very simple technique. I went over all the images with various colors using the Wink of Stella pens…love the light amount of shimmer you get. I fussy cut the images out.
I popped the images up with our 3D thin foam tape. It barely lifts them off the paper so mailing is easier, yet still gives them more dimension than if I had adhered them directly on the paper. I used shimmer tape, white and pink, an old button brad, and some silver twine I had in my stash.
I stamped the inside of the card with one of the sentiment stamps and another birdie. Super cute!!! Here’s a picture of the Fundamental papers. We have stickers and embellishment assortments to match! These collects are great for scrapbooking based on the colors in the pictures!!
I This awesome stamp set is only available during March. It’s $17.95 or $5.00 with a $50.00 order!!
I’d like to do some quick math with you. If you place a $50.00 before March 5 (when my Cruising Flash Sale ends), you can get this stamp set for $5.00, saving $12.95. If you purchase two E-size stamp sets for $30.00 each (total of $60.00) you’ll get the 3rd E-size stamp set free ($29.95 value). With this order, if you add it to the Cruising Online Orders, you’ll be able to get your choice of a My Reflections Paper pack, a value of $9.95! So for $65.00 (2 E-sized stamp sets and the March SOM for $5.00), you will get $52.85 of FREE /Discounted product!! You will not see this great of a deal any time soon.
Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!!
