Hello
crafty friends! Amy here, and I have a friendship card to share
with you today. My card features Friends & Family and A Bird's Life stamp set. I think these two sets go really
well together to help you create sweet scenes with pretty flowers and cute
birds.
To
begin, I trimmed white cardstock to 4-1/4"x 5-1/2 and die-cut it with the
largest die from Traditional Tag Toppers to make the card front. While I had the die out, I also die-cut an A2 size card
base to match the card front. However, I made sure to line up the die slightly
above the paper so that the sides would get cut and not the top. This created a
top folding tag shaped card base.
On
the front panel, I stamped the flowers from the Friends
& Family stamp
set using various dye inks. I also blended the bottom of the panel with green
dye ink. Then, I stamped the sentiment, "Friends Are Life's Greatest
Blessings" from the same stamp set. I love that this set has so many
wonderful sentiments about friends and family. I heat embossed the word
"friends" in blue and stamped the rest in black ink.
To
add dimension to the card, I stamped the flowers from Friends
& Family again
on a different white cardstock and cut them out. After, I stamped the birds,
the birdhouse from A
Bird's Life with
Antique Linen Distress Ink and colored them with Copics. I decided to do
no-line coloring to match the flowers. For the wooden pole, I stamped it
with brown dye ink and colored it with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
Then, I adhered the flowers with a single layer of foam tape, and others with
double layers to the front panel. For extra sweetness, I added a twine bow on
top. To finish, I mounted the panel to the prepared card base.
I
hope you enjoyed today's post. Thank you for stopping by!
