Field Mice - Hello Bluebird Stamps
Hi! A new project for Hello Bluebird Stamps today that uses the unbelievably adorable Field Mice stamp set, one of my all time favourites!
To make this card I took a panel of cardstock and using a cloud stencil in my stash I delicately ink blended the clouds and then nearer the bottom I used a Clarity Stencil Brush to brush in some 'grass'. I used a die in my stash to give it the faux stitched edge and then this panel was adhered to a 110lb cover weight white cardstock base.
On Strathmore Bristol Smooth I stamped all the images from Field Mice using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. They were watercolour painted using Kuretake Zigs then die cut and applied to the scene either directly or with foam tape to build depth.
Finally, I stamped the two sentiments on strips of cardstock and applied those with more foam tape.
A few sparkling clear sequins completed the scene.
Happy crafting!

Field Mice - Hello Bluebird Stamps
I'm back with a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps. This card combines the adorable Field Mice stamp set along with the blossom branch from Picked For You, the background is the Pathway stamp set which I altered to my needs and it is framed out with the Gallery Frame #1 die.
To create this card I stamped the pathway stamp, removing the ink before stamping to the parts I didn't want an image from. I used Simon Says Stamp in Fog for stamping, it is a very pale gray that just disappears for no line Copic colouring. I Copic coloured this portion of the scene and then ink blended the sky using Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass and a little Peacock Feathers.
On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the blossom branch from Picked For you about 12 times using the same Fog ink mentioned above. Again I Copic coloured these images and die cut them all and proceeded to layer them into the scene to build cherry blossom trees, adhering as I went.
I stamped the two joyfully skipping mice from Field Mice using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured them with Copics, backed them with foam tape and adhered them as the focal point.
To finish up the scene I backed the frame die cut with foam tape and attached it and I stamped the sentiment from Garden Friends to a strip of cardstock and applied the same way.
A few points were highlighted with a white gel pen and I decided against any further embellishment for this project.
I appreciate you stopping by today, happy crafting.

Field Mice with Rainbow Sky Die - Hello Bluebird Designs
I have a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps today that features the darling Field Mice stamp set in combination with the Birch Trees Die and the Rainbow Sky Die.
To kick things off I ink blended a panel with Tumbled Glass and a little Spun Sugar. I die cut the rainbow shapes from the Rainbow Sky Die and ink blended the edges with pastel Distress Inks and adhered them to the background. Layered over that I placed a white die cut like low clouds from the After The Rain Scene Die. Almost done with the background, I also die cut the Birch Trees and edged this in Antique Linen Distress Ink and a little Ice Spruce too. These too were applied to the scene.
I used the Grassy Knoll die to die cut two strips of grass from cardstock I had ink blended with Spun Sugar. I applied this to the background panel.
I die cut the white frame using the Gallery Frame #1 die. I backed it with foam tape and applied it. The skinny pink frame can produced by using any of the Hello Bluebird Scene dies. I made mine from toning pale pink cardstock and directly glued it.
On Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped the images of the mice from Field Mice using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. I watercolour painted the images using Kuretake Zigs, highlighted the cheeks and other points with a white gel pen and backed them with foam tape and applied them so that they were looking into each other's eyes.
A couple of quick finishing touches. First of all I stamped the sentiment and applied it popped up on foam tape and I found a pretty little heart embellishment in my stash and floated that above the sweet twosome. The whole decorative panel was then attached to a 110lb cover weight white cardstock base which is necessary for such a substantial card.

Field Mice and Strawberry Jam - Hello Bluebird Stamps
I'm back with a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps where I've combined two of their newer stamp sets Field Mice and Strawberry Jam. Also used in this project is the Grassy Knoll die and both the Gallery Frame #2 and Gallery Frame #1 die (underneath).
I ink blended a panel of white cardstock using Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar, softly creating a focal point. To this I adhered a white die cut of the Gallery Frame #1 die. Next, I ink blended a panel of cardstock using Distress Ink in Lucky Clover and I die cut with the Grassy Knoll die to create the grass edge which I trimmed to size and added to the panel with a little dimensional foam tape behind it. I then die cut more white cardstock with the Gallery Frame #2 die and I backed this with foam tape and layered it over the other frame.
On Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped my images from Field Mice and Strawberry Jam using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. These images were watercolour painted using Kuretake Zigs in Oatmeal, Beige, Light Pink, Yellow and Turquoise Green. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then the images were die cut.
I figured out where the sentiment from Strawberry Jam would fit perfectly and stamped the sentiment. I backed the images with foam tape and applied them to the scene.
The panel was attached to a 110lb white cardstock base and I used Nuvo Drops to embellish the scene.
Thank you for stopping by to read about this sweet and joyful summer scene. I'll be back before you know it with a new card! Happy crafting!

Field Mice and the Country Gingham Background Stamp - Hello Bluebird Stamps
Hello Bluebird Stamps are having a 'Background Bash' where we are promoting the use of background stamps. There will be SIX new designs in the shop but also some of the formerly released designs are back in stock. This card uses the Country Gingham Background Stamp which is restocked and the Field Mice stamp set together with the Photo Stack Die. All new background stamps and old ones will be available for purchase on the 26th July!
I used Versamark Ink and stamped the Country Gingham background then heat embossed in white. I love how it pops on the kraft cardstock background and how it looks a little distressed. This panel was then die cut to give it the simple faux stitched edge and was attached to a sturdy 110lb white cardstock card base.
Using the Photo Stack die I die cut 3 white photo frames and 6 pink photo frames. I glued these in stacks with the pinks underneath so that you get a little glimpse of it from a side angle. The negative cuts were ink blended using Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar and Twisted Citron, I also splattered some of the green into the pink sky and used a mini tuft of grass image from Field Mice and again used the Twisted Citron to stamp that.
The backgrounds were recessed back through the opening of each photo frame and taped into position on the reverse. Each stack was adhered to the decorative panel like they were casually thrown on a table.
I stamped 3 of the mice from Field Mice with Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil on to Bristol Smooth cardstock. I watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs in Beige, Green Gray and Light Pink and highlighted their cheeks and ears with a white gel pen. They were then die cut, backed with foam tape and adhered in each photo scene.
The finishing touches were to die cut the word Smile from Photo Stack 4 times in pink cardstock, I glued them all together and then glued it to the scene. Finally, I used Nuvo Crystal Drops to create the dimensional and glossy pink accents that finish out the card.
Give these Hello Bluebird background stamps a go for endless possibilities!
Happy crafting!

Field Mice - Hello Bluebird Stamps
I've got a new card for you today using Field Mice the adorable stamp set that formed part of the June release from Hello Bluebird stamps.
My slimline cards measure 8 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches to fit a standard size 9 envelope.
I masked a panel of white cardstock with washi tape and softly ink blended Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio using my Clarity Stencil Brushes. I stamped the sentiment and then carefully removed the mask, adhered the panel to a white cardstock base and set it to one side.
Using Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped the images from Field Mice using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil and watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs in Green Gray, Beige, Light Gray, Pale Pink, Light Pink, Yellow, Wine Red, May Green, Warm Gray (2) and Cobalt Blue. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and they were die cut, backed with foam tape and applied to the scene.
The finishing touch was the application of water droplet style embellishments, keeping the card looking fresh, summery and fun but with that lovely pop of read delicious red from the strawberries.
Thank you for coming by to read, see you next time!
