Hello Bluebird Stamps - Unicorn Tales

A new day and a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps.    This is a slimline card created using Unicorn Tales and for the background I used the Summer Woods Scene Die.

I first die cut the Summer Woods Scene Die using 110lb cover weight white cardstock.   This is a beautifully sturdy cardstock which means that as you put the pieces back together again after ink blending them, you can avoid warping and overlapping.

So I ink blended a somewhat fairytale style forest and then reassembled starting with glueing the frame down on to a slimline panel that I had stencil ink blended some clouds and then I followed that with the grass piece from the bottom of the scene, then worked left to right inserting all the pieces which aligned beautifully.

I popped the panel in my Misti and stamped the sentiment twice for a nice clean image and set this panel to one side for a while.

I stamped my Unicorn images from Unicorn Tales using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.    I coloured them with Copic markers.   Here's what I used:-

Unicorn bodies -  T1, T0, C00, R20, R00, R00, YR20 ,YR21

Orange Unicorn - YR02, E95, YR000

Teal Unicorn - BG57, BG32, G0000

Pink Unicorn - V05, RV63, RV02, RV52, RV10

Green Unicorn - G02, YG41, G40

I die cut the images using the coordinating dies and adhered the Unicorns to the background panel using dimensional foam tape and then I embellished by adding some clear 4 point stars all around the Unicorn's heads and beneath each Unicorn I added a little Stickles glitter ..... because .... Unicorns of course!!!!

The whole panel was attached to a white 110lb cover weight cardstock card base and with that the card was complete!

Appreciate you visiting my blog today for a read.   Back soon with someone new!

 

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Boo Crew

I'm excited to share this new slimline card I made for the Hello Bluebird Stamps release on September 8th.    This super cute stamp set is called Boo Crew and I've paired it with the Summer Woods Scene Die used in a very different way .... but it works!!!   Read on for all the details.

To create this card I ink blended a panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire.   I dotted in stars with a white gel pen.

I die cut black cardstock using the Summer Woods Scene Die and adhered the pieces to the background panel.  I also used the Spooky Scene Die and the same black cardstock in order to die cut the bats, cross and gravestones which I adhered into position.

The images from Boo Crew were stamped and I coloured them with Copic markers.   Here is my colour palette:-

Witch Girl - BV29, V09, V17, V15, T7, T5, T4

Dracula Boy - YR09, T7, T5, T4, B99, B97

Cat Girl - RV95, RV93, R81, T2, T1

Devil Girl - R39, R29, R27, T4, T2, E79, E29, E57

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00

Pumpkins - YR09, YR07, YR04, T3, T1

Blonde Hair - E0000, E51, E44

Dog - T4, T2, T0

Cheeks - R00, R20, R21

All images were die cut using the coordinating dies and then adhered to the scene with dimensional foam tape.

To finish the card a few points were highlighted with a white gel pen and I stamped the sentiment from Boo Crew using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white on a black sentiment strip that was adhered with foam tape.

Hope you love Boo Crew as much as I do!   Visit the Hello Bluebird Blog to see more inspiration and to leave a comment and try to become one of the lucky winners of a gift certificate in time for the new release going live at 7pm Mountain Time.

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Pig Out!

It is always a happy time when Hello Bluebird Stamps are previewing a new release and their next release is May 6th at 7pm MST.    My card today is revealing the brand new stamp set called Pig Out which comes of course with coordinating dies if you need them and in the background, that is the new Summer Woods Scene Die in a beautiful Slimline format.

To create my card I first die cut the Summer Woods Scene Die from a panel of white cardstock and I ink blended each component using Distress Oxide Inks.   It then adhered the frame (hidden underneath) to another panel and then began to put all the pieces back together again, glueing as I went like doing a jigsaw puzzle.   I then die cut the Gallery Frame #5 die from yet another panel, backed it with foam tape and layered it over.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the characters from Pig Out and coloured them with Copic markers.  I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images which I backed with foam tape and applied to the scene.

I highlighted some points with a white gel pen, stamped the sentiment from 'Typed Everyday'  to a strip of cardstock backed with foam tape and tucked it under the edge of the decorative frame.

Last but not least a glued on a few sparkling clear sequin accents.

Happy crafting friends, please come back tomorrow for Day 2 of previews, you won't be disappointed and do visit the Hello Bluebird BLOG to see more inspiration from this release and see the stamp sets and dies being featured today.   Comment there for a chance to win a gift card!!!
