Hello Bluebird Stamps - Word Buddies Woodland

I have a new card today for Hello Bluebird Stamps that features their darling Word Buddies Woodland stamp set and the High Rise Tree Scene Die.

To start the card I first created an A2 panel of cardstock and ink blended the sky using a cloud stencil from my crafty stash.   I stamped the sentiment which is from the Spring Gatherings stamp set and then applied the panel to my card base.

I die cut the High Rise Tree Scene Die and ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks and applied it to the scene with dimensional foam tape.  I then used the Grassy Knoll die to create two strips of grass which I ink blended and applied behind and in front of the base of the tree.

I stamped the images from Word Buddies Woodland and coloured them with Copic markers.   Here are the colours I've used:-

Squirrels - T7, T6, T5, T3, T1

Bunnies - E41, E0000

Raccoon - W7, W5, W4, W2, W0

Bear - E87, E44, E43, E42, E41

I also stamped and coloured the Mole from the Bloom and Grow stamp set.

T4, T3, T2, T1

Images were die cut using the coordinating dies and then adhered to the scene.   Many Hello Bluebird stamp sets have little flower images and so I coloured some up and applied blossoms to the tree and tucked them behind the ears of a couple of the cute critters.   Card complete!

I really appreciate you coming by my blog today and I'll be back soon with a new project to share with you.

 

Hello Bluebird Stamps - September Release Preview - Tree Neighbors

As promised I'm back today with some new and exciting products from Hello Bluebird Stamp's September 8th release.  You can buy the release at 7pm Mountain Time.   I think you're going to love this!  My card today features the new and very large stamp set called Tree Neighbors paired with the new High Rise Tree Scene Die.   Resistance is futile, you're going to need today's combo in your stamp and die collections for year round use.

To create this cute scene I first die cut the High Rise Tree Scene Die from white cardstock and I ink blended the different parts before adhering with foam tape to a slimline panel that I'd stencilled some clouds on using a cloud stencil from my stash and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink.  Soft and pretty.

I stamped up the sweet images from Tree Neighbors  and coloured them with Copic markers.  Here's my colour palette:-

Bear - E74, E71, E70, E40

Cheeks - R00, R20, R21

Fox - E35, E33, E11

Raccoon - T6, T5, T4, T3, T2

Squirrel - T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Bunny - E44, E43, E42, E41

Mouse - E43, E42, E41, R000

All images were die cut with the coordinating dies, backed with foam tape, arranged and adhered to the background scene.

Some quick finishing touches .... firstly the two sentiment/speech bubbles were stamped and applied and there's a heart image which I stamped on the tree trunk - it looks like it was carved into it and I highlighted a few points with a white gel pen.   The whole panel was adhered to a sturdy white card base and with that the card was complete.
