Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse –Hello Friend

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse –Hello Friend

The card I am sharing today is one shared by a team member, Rosie Kean, at out quarterly meeting.  We have card demonstrations at the last team meeting of the quarter.   She used Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set and Dies and this card is my creation of her card.

I am entering Creative Creases Challenge for this card.

The above photos show what you need for the card base, the cut for the birdhouse and the pieces you will need to create this card.

I started with a Crumb Cake card base, adding a  layer of Pecan Pie cardstock next and Country Woods Designer Series Paper on top of the Pecan Pie card stock.  As you have die cut the pieces necessary to create this card. A greeting is stamped on the Country Woods piece that is for the ledge of the birdhouse, it is stamped in Memento Black ink using a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set.

This is how the card looks when the birdhouse part of the card is opened.  On the birdhouse I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.  The sentiment at the bottom with the bird is from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set.  Both are stamped in Memento Black ink.  The birdhouse is then centered on the panel and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

This is how the card looks with the bottom panel opened flat fully showing the birdhouse on the back panel.

The bottom panel is folded up to close and the birdhouse closes over the panel.

A Basic White cardstock piece is stamped with flowers from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse and colored using Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends.  The piece is matted to a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Hello

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey — Hello

The card I am sharing today is created with new products to me, Spotlight On Nature Dies, Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set.  The Designer Series Paper does most of the work for creating.  It makes for an easy card creation.  I saw Lisa Freeman’s card, loved it so thought I would make it.

I am entering this card in the following challenges

Addicted To Stamps — theme this challenge  Any Occasion

Seize The Birthday  — Anything Goes or Option Metallics

I suppose you could consider this a stack, cut, shuffle card as you cut both pieces of the Designer Series Paper at the same time.  I started  with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the card base.

The  two pieces of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper are stacked together and cut in the design above.  Strips of Petunia Pop cardstock are cut and adhered to the edges of the two outside pieces.  All three are then adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Start with the middle piece first, then add the two outside pieces.  A butterfly from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink and colored using Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends.  It doesn’t look as if colored in photo, shows up as black and white.

  Using  two different sizes of  dies from Spotlight On Nature Dies, die cut a Basic White and Petunia Pop cardstock circle.  On the Basic White circle stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set.  Adhere the Basic White circle to the Petunia Pop circle, then pop on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Scatter 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems around the card front.  Make a bow from Linen Thread and adhere to the circle using Glue Dots.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  A strip of Thoughtful Journey is adhered at the bottom of the panel.  The piece is then adhered to the card base.

A piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper is adhered to a Basic White envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse

This is a first time use for me.  I believe Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Stamp Set is going to be one of my favorites from the 2024-2025 Annual catalog.  It get more difficult to get a card made.  Maybe after a few more weeks, I will have some energy to  get things done. In creating this card, along with the stamp set I used Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.  Happy it carried over.

The card base is Shaded Spruce card stock. A layer of Early Espresso cardstock is added next. It becomes the mat for the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.  Before adding to the Early Espresso cardstock, the panel is brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink.

I am entering Creative Creases Challenge for this card.

Flowers and birds are stamped using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set, then colored using Stampin’ Blends.  Greenery is die cut from Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow cardstock.   The birdhouse is die cut from a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  It is brushed with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush. The birdhouse roof and porch is from a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  I die cut the scalloped piece from a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  A piece of Basic Black card stock is used to die up the decoration post the birdhouse rest on.   A piece is also place behind the circle cut in the birdhouse.

Another piece of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper is cut, brushed, matted on Early Espresso cardstock then adhered to the inside panel.  Flowers are popped on the panel to create a stop for the easel.

This is how the card looks when it is folded to create the easel.

When you open the card, you will find a piece of Basic White adhered  over the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper  to enable a note to be written if wanted.

This is the back of the card where a greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set.  A flower is popped on the corner of the piece.

A Very Vanilla envelope gets a piece  of Nature’s Sweetness S Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set and Die.  I also used the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and a die from Deckled Circle Dies.

I am entering the following challenges for this card.

Ellibelle’s  Corner

Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge  

The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock with a panel of the same embossed using Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.     A 1-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ strip of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered to the Pretty Peacock embossed panel.

A circle is die cut from a piece of Basic White cardstock using a die from Deckled Circle Dies. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on the circle.   It is positioned over the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper strip and the embossed  Pretty Peacock cardstock panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Flowers from Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty are stamped in Berry Burst ink for the outline and Bubble Bath for the fill.  Leaves are stamped in Pretty Peacock, stamping off once for the fill. Several leaves are die cut from a retired die set (they look very similar to the leaves in Unbounded Love Dies I am waiting to arrive. The large sprig of leaves is from Flowers of Beauty dies. The flowers and leaves are arranged around the circle adhering with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Gems from Tinsel Gems Trio  Pack are scattered around the card front.  A Linen bow is made using Linen Thread and popped on the card front with a Glue Dot.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White panel.  A sprig or spray whichever you want to call it are adhered in the lower right corner.  The panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece  of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and Dies.  This is another new stamp set for me from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  I also used Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

Challenges:

Can You Handle The Pressure  

Four Seasons Challenge  

Sunday Stamps      

I started with a Pretty Peacock cardstock card base with a panel of the same embossed using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  The embossed panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut tow panels of Designer Series Paper from Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, choosing two different patterns.  I also cut a strip of the Designer Series Paper and cut each end creating a banner strip.  The first panel of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, the second one is popped on at a slight angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Two sprigs of flowers are die cut using dies from Thoughtful Journey Dies, one is die cut from Basic White cardstock the other from a scrap of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.  Pretty Peacock sequins from Adhesive Backed Sequin Trio are popped around the card front.  

A panel of Basic White cardstock is stamped with flowers using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and Pretty Peacock ink.  They are colored using Wild Wheat and Pool Party  Stampin’ Blends.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece  of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

  • Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you get to pre-order before a new catalog  launches so you are able to show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
