Hello SCT Peeps! My name is Stesha Bloodhart and I am a member of the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Artisan Design Team!
The Bird Ballad Suite is my favorite product suite from the Stampin’ Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and perfect for a trio of wedding creations. The images from the Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set are so cute and color friendly!
All three projects use the same watercolor technique for each image. I like to use the Stamparatus to stamp multiple images at once and to ensure I get full coverage when stamping on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
Each image was stamped in Jet Black Staz On Ink onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and colored with a medium brush tip Aqua Painter and the following Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink Pads: Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay.
After allowing the images to dry, they were then snipped with Paper Snips
The congratulations card was created using the following steps:
- Start with a 4 ¼ x 5 ½ card base of Shimmery White Cardstock
- Adhere a loop of Petal Pink 5/8” Organdy Striped Ribbon as shown with Mini Glue Dots
- Adhere a 3 5/8 x 5 1/8 piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Cut the card front from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and adhere to a 3 3/8 x 5 piece of the petal pink polka dot from Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper
- Crop a 3 inch circle of Shimmery White Cardstock using the largest Layering Circle Die and wrap with a piece of Linen Thread, securing it in place with a bow. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Adhere a key trinket under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
- Assemble and adhere all stamped images as shown using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.
- Rub a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock with an Embossing Buddy then stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick the cardstock to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Crop with the Classic Label Punch and adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Add gold Metallic Pearls as shown.
The forever & always gift back was created as follows:
- Start with a Copper Dotted Treat Bag as your canvas.
- Adhere a loop of Petal Pink 5/8” Organdy Striped Ribbon as shown with Mini Glue Dots
- Crop a piece of Vellum Cardstock using a die-cutting machine and the largest Stitched Nested Label Die. Adhere with strategically placed Stampin’ Dimensionals so they stay hidden behind the images.
- Assemble and adhere all stamped images as shown using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.
- Rub a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock with an Embossing Buddy then stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick the cardstock to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Crop with the Classic Label Punch and secure with a Mini Library Clip.
- Add gold Metallic Pearls as shown.
The Happy Day Mini Pizza Gift Box was created as follows:
- Assemble a Mini Pizza Box to use as your canvas.
- Cut a piece of the petal pink polka dot from Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to the following sizes: Qty: One 3 3/8 Square, Qty: Four 7/8 x 3 3/8 Strips. Adhere to the top and sides of the Mini Pizza Box with Tear & Tape Adhesive.
- Cut the card front and strips from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and adhere to the Mini Pizza Box. Note: You will need to trim the pieces to size and adhere with a dab of Multipurpose Liquid Glue
- Use the 2 1/4” Circle Punch to crop a circle of Shimmery White Cardstock. Adhere loops of Petal Pink 5/8” Organdy Striped Ribbon around the back of the circle with Mini Glue Dots
- Add two strips of Very Vanilla 3/8” Scalloped Lace Trim to the center of the 2 ¼” circle with Mini Glue Dots.
- Rub a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock with an Embossing Buddy then stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick the cardstock to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Snip with Paper Snips and adhere with Mini Glue Dots.
- Assemble and adhere all stamped images as shown using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.
- Add gold Metallic Pearls as shown.
