Hello, Crafters.
Apart from the make-n-take cards I made at the OnStage Convention in Telford in April, this is the first time I’ve used the Free As A Bird Stamp Set!
It’s an absolutely gorgeous image to colour using our Stampin’ Blends. The colours I used are : leaves – Light and Dark Old Olive; branches and birds – Light and Dark Crumb Cake; bird’s chests – Light Calypso Coral; flowers – Light Bermuda Bay; background – Light Pool Party.
When I was making this card, I had someone in mind who I want to send it to. I chose the sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set, with her in mind. The font and style of this sentiment blends with the image brilliantly.
I kept the design of this card simple because I wanted to concentrate on the colouring. I adhered the top Whisper White Cardstock (CS) layer onto a Layer of Pool Party CS and onto a Whisper White CS card base. To decorate the inside of the card I added the same two layers.
Instead of more stamping and colouring, I fussy cut one of the birds from a sheet of Designer Series Paper (DSP) called Bird Ballad. I have seen many cards made using the suite some using stamped images, some using fussy cut stamped images and some with fussy cut images from the DSP. The amount of variations available is amazing. 
The co-ordinating set of dies is called Stitched Nested Dies, and doesn’t include any dies for stamped or printed images!
As we are now half way through July, I just want to give you a quick reminder about the special recruiting promotion that’s available until 31st August 2019. The offer is that it still costs €129\£99 for the Starter Kit, but you can choose an EXTRA €32/£25 worth of products. During the month after you join, you will receive a coupon code for €12/£8 which you can use on your first order in that month! Another promotion during July is Bonus Days is back again! This means you’ll receive a coupon code of €6/£4.50 for every €60/£45 of your order. This means if your order is €120\£90 you will receive two coupon codes, each worth €6/£4.50. These codes can be spent in August until 31st August 2019!
That’s it from me today. I hope you have a terrific Thursday, and I look forward to be back with you tomorrow! Happy crafting.
