Hello Bluebird Stamps - Do the Gobble

Hi there, crafty friends! Today I have a fall slimline card that features the new Hello Bluebird stamp set Do the Gobble. I get a kick out of these dancing critters with all of the fall/Thanksgiving images, they're all so cute!
Creating my card was pretty straightforward, I started out by stamping my images then die cutting them using the coordinating dies to the Do the Gobble set and then coloring using copic markers. Next I used the Gallery Frame #5 and die cut just the frame with three windows in orange card stock.
I used a piece of white card stock as my background and blended on some tumbled glass and brushed corduroy distress oxide ink and then stamped my sentiment. After that I glued on my die cut frame and adhered it to my card base which I had covered with a piece of orange polka dot paper and then added my images popping up the animals and the fruit basket with foam tape.

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Friendsgiving

Hello there! I’m popping in today to share my latest card featuring the new Hello Bluebird stamp set, Friendsgiving along with the coordinating Friendsgiving dies. These characters are so adorable and perfect for Thanksgiving and fall cards and projects!
To create my Friendsgiving card, I used the North Fork Slimline Scene die where I eliminated the front bottom pieces after I used it to die cut a piece of white card stock. So instead of a water scene, I created ground with woods in the background. Once all of my pieces where die cut, I used pine needles distress oxide ink on the pines, mowed lawn on the grassy hills and tumbled glass for sky and brushed corduroy and walnut stain on the ground. I also used a light brown copic marker on the birch trees and a green on the pines.
Once my background was finished, I used my Misti and stamped my sentiment from the set. After that I colored the images that I had stamped and die cut using copic markers, added some white gel pen highlights and adhered them to my slimline card base. I should also mention that the tree stump image is from the Bonfire Buddies stamp set from the last release.

Dear Santa

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the new Hello Bluebird stamp set, Dear Santa along with the Winter Birch Scene die.
The Dear Santa stamp set is such a cute set that can be used for more than just Christmas, it could be used for Valentine’s Day or for sending a thinking of you card.
For my card, I stamped the images from the set, die cut them using the coordinating dies and then colored them using copic markers. Once that was done I used the Winter Birch Scene die and die cut it from white card stock. For my background, I blended on some tumbled glass distress oxide ink onto a white card base then glued on my die cut pieces. After that I stamped my sentiment and adhered my images popping up the stacked critters with foam tape. Before I taped the mailbox down, I used a craft knife and cut a slit near the flag and tucked in the holly image. I die cut some snowflakes using the Frosty Flakes dies and added three to my scene along with some glitter which I added to the top of the snowy mailbox, the base and ground.

Hello Bluebird Release Day!

Today’s the day! Tonight, October 23rd at 7pm MST the new Hello Bluebird holiday release will be available for purchase! My card today features the sweet, Snowman Hugs stamp set and dies along with the new Warm Hugs Word Die.
To create my card, I stamped and die cut my image from the new Snowman Hugs set and then colored it using copic markers. Next I used the new Warm Hugs Word Die and die cut it twice using white card stock and then once more using pink polka dot paper and then glued all of them 
together to add dimension to the die cut words. After that I used the Nesting Deckle dies to die cut a piece of white card stock which I then blended with spun sugar distress oxide ink. Before adhering my image and die cut word, I used the Frosty Flakes dies with white card stock and added some snowflakes along with some glitter.
