Flying Home Stamp Set


Cute bird houses, baby birds and butterflies?  The Flying Home stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog includes all three - baby birds, butterflies and cute bird houses.  Such cute elements!!  The artists at Stampin' Up! have outdone themselves with fun new sets.    The Occasions catalog has so many new sets that can be colored with colored pencils, inks, Makers or the new Blends.  I used Blends to color my card today.







I used a basecard of Old Olive, then a layer of Lemon Lime Twist and then the lower part of the card includes a print from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  

The bird houses are stamped in Crumb Cake and then colored with the Light Crumb Cake Blends, and the Light Old Olive Blends.  The Birds are colored with Light Daffodil Delight Blends.  

The birds and nest were stamped on Whisper White and colored with Blends.

The sentiment is from the In the City Set, a Host set from the Main Catalog that I haven't used enough. I added a Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon between the Whisper White and the Designer Series Paper.    







I colored a couple of the heart-shaped Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes with the Dark Old Olive Blends pen and added them to the sentiment and another by the birdhouses.     

Thanks to Mary Deatherage for the inspiration for this card design.

Tailored Tag punch from the Occasion catalog creates quick, easy card

  • Tailored Tag Punch
  • Join us to try a variety of stamp sets and dies on March 18
  • Place a $50 or $100 order and select a free Sale-A-bration gift

Create a pattern with Tailored Tag Punch 



Need a really fast card?  Grab your Tailored Tag punch and some coordinating papers and in a few minutes, you're in business!  Today's card uses the Tailored Tag Punch and Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper to create this classy design.  
        
  




I used a basecard of Bermuda Bay, then a layer of Whisper White.  Then I selected two designs from the Picture Perfect Party 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper pack from the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog along with Bermuda Bay cardstock and punched a number of coordinating paper pieces.  Then I glued them on the Whisper White, leaving a narrow gap between each punched piece.  I left some of the punched pieces flow off the side and bottom of the Whisper White and then trimmed these extended layers to the size of the Whisper White.  
    


Tailored Tag Punch used to create this pattern


The Happy Birthday sentiment from Rose Wonder was stamped in Berry Burst Ink.  Additional accents were added to the punched pieces by adding large Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins.  These sequins come in 5 colors, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and yellow.    I used one Berry Burst, one Pool Party and one Pumpkin Pie . . . just perfect to compliment the prints used.  I love having embellishments that coordinately perfectly with our inks and papers.    

To finish off the card,  I wrapped Solid Pool Party Baker's Twine around the card twice and tied a bow.  Fast. Easy. Done!


Recipe:

Stamps:  Rose Wonder (Sentiment)
Ink:  Berry Burst (Sentiment) 
Paper:  Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Picture Perfect Party 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper  
Accessories:  Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Tailored Tag Punch, Solid Pool Party Baker's Twine, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Silicone Craft Sheet, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Stampin' Trimmer, Multipurpose Glue
