Free as a Bird

Hello all you quarantine crafters!  These darling little birds are NOT following the social distancing rules!  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying some extra time to work on your hobbies.  Since I have more free time after my day job (my second job at the nature store is on hold) I am getting back to my blog.  It's definitely a work in progress, so thanks for visiting!

I created this card for a sketch over at Just Add Ink.  I adore this stamp set and I'm so happy it is carrying over into the 2020 - 2021 Annual Catalog.  I only wish the DSP was too!

I hope you enjoy this card and layout.  Here is my recipe:

Stamp Set: Free as a Bird

Papers:  Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Whisper White

Ink: Memento Classic Black, Various Stampin' Blends

Tools:  Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Embellishments: Peaceful Poppies Sequins, Pearl Basic Jewels

Be sure to check out the Last Chance lists posted here.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  

Have a great week!

Geared Up for Freshly Made Sketch #432

Happy Sunday! I had some free time this morning and thought I would take a peek at the Freshly Made Sketches weekly sketch.  It's a "clean and simple" design this week.  That is sometimes a challenge for me because I always want to add this or that or layers, layers, layers, to my cards.  A clean and simple sketch comes together quickly when you need a card in a hurry. 

I had a Garage Gear die cut in my stash box and decided to use that as my starting point.  I used my Stamparatus to stamp the nut image across the card front.  I used Night of Navy as the card base and a layer of Pacific Point for contrast.  I Attached the die cut with some mini dimensionals, stamped the sentiment, done!  Easy Peasy!

Here's my recipe:
Stamp Set: Geared Up Garage & coordinating Garage Gear Thinlets
Papers: Night of Navy, Pacific Point, WW & Silver Foil
Inks: Basic Gray, Pacific Point

Have a great Sunday!
