Birds of a Feather

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by today. I'd like to share with you my last August Reveal card, using the adorable little Feathered Friends Stamp Set 909.

Going along with the wreath image from the stamp set, I decided to make a telescopic card, combining the Spellbinders Wreath die set. First, I backed some designer paper with Super Adhesive Sheet. I then ran the two wreath dies through the Tangerine.

The wreaths were each centered on to black cardstock circles, cut from the Spellbinders Grand Circles die set, using the Tangerine. The wreath image was stamped on white cardstock in Nuvo Clear Mark Ink, using the Stamp Platform and then being heat embossed with Black Detail.

Using the Stamp Platform I positioned the sentiment in the middle of the stamped wreath again in Black Detail. The wreath was then colored with Nuvo Aquaflow pens. I made a little palette using an acrylic block and applied the color with a Nuvo Water Brush.

This front panel was then die cut with one of the smaller circle dies with the Tangerine and layered on to the smallest of the black circles (attached with a black brad) with a little piece of white ribbon as a pull at the top. Nuvo Crystal drops Morning Dew were applied to the flowers for dimension.

The middle panel was created by stamping the three birds in Hybrid Black Shadow on top of the scrap piece of the designer paper from one of the wreath cuts and then die cutting the one bird with the circle die.

This was then covered with Nuvo Clear Mark ink and then heat embossed with Clear Detail. This was then layered on to the middle-sized circle.

For the base panel, white cardstock was cut using the inside of the larger wreath die. The birds and the second sentiment were then positioned on the area using the Stamp Platform.

The birds were watercolored using the same palette as before and inserted inside the wreath on the base circle. Nuvo Glitter Drops Sherbert Shimmer were added to the bottom.

The card was assembled bottom to top. Here is the base:

The three panels were then attached with black brads, so that they turn round to close over each other. Here is the entire project closed:

Live as if .....!

Hi there,

I'm back today to share my last May Reveal card using the lovely Aster Garden Set 893 this time.

I began by stamping the main sentiment in the middle of white glossy cardstock in Nuvo Clear Mark using the Stamp Platform then I heat embossed with Gold Detail.

I then made two masks of the big flower from post-it notes, stamping in Memento black ink and fussy cutting with my 5" Mini Scissors.

I inked up the stamp using the Hybrid ink Diamonds Set Tropical Fruit and with the help of the masks I stamped around the sentiment, so that the images didn't overlap one another.

I stamped the smaller image with the butterfly on glossy card in Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail. This was then colored in with Aquaflow Watercolor markers - making a pallette from an acrylic block and applying the colors with the Nuvo Water Brush. Once dry this was fussy cut again with the 5" Mini Scissors.

Next I stamped on top of the flower circle with Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail the same butterfly image.

Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive was applied to the back of the fussy cut piece and placed on top of the stamped image.

The larger flower was stamped twice in Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail and then after being colored with the colors from the same pallette, they were fussy cut with the 5" Mini Scissors.

An embossed frame was made from cutting out an oval from the Craft Perfect Ivory Bouquet paper, using the Tangerine Machine along with the Sizzix Dotted Ovals and a Spellbinders Grand Ovals die.

Next I made my card base. Using the next biggest size oval die, I cut out the front of the easel card and then the base was made, using a scrap piece of cardstock at the fold of the card base, to "stop" the machine from cutting past the fold - the card front would then be placed on top. I did the same on the base edge - this way the base is also rounded.

For the smaller sentiment I applied Versamarker pen to the word "as" from the first sentiment and stamped it on to white glossy card with the Nuvo Clear Ink and then heat embossed with Gold Detail again. Then using the Stamp Platform I lined up the second sentiment and embossed with Gold Detail. This was then die cut in the Tangerine using one of the smaller Dotted Oval Dies.

The large flower was stamped again above this sentiment with a piece of scrap paper under the oval, so ink would not hit the platform. Again stamped with Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail.

This was again colored with the Aquaflow Watercolors.

I layered up the card front and then ran the Versamarker Pen around the outer edge of the large oval front and heat embossed a little Gold Detail to distress the edge.

The two colored flowers were then attached to the card front, placing on top of the existing stamped flowers with some 1/4" Tear-ific Tape.

The Sakura Glue Pen was used to apply a little Autumn Frost Glitter to the center of all the attached flowers and Butterscotch Glitter to the petals.

Two more images were stamped using the Hybrid Inks Tropical Fruits on the card base and then the smaller sentiment was positioned on the card base as my "stop" with mounting tape. A few Honey Gold Crystal Drops were added to the base of the easel. This finished off my card for today.
