A Little Bird Told Me with Stampin' Up!'s Everything Eleanor

A Little Bird Told Me with Stampin' Up!'s Everything Eleanor 

I am very excited to be showcased today by the lovely Lisa Barton from Vintage Celebrations.

I am making slow progress through my "Use all my Stamp Sets Challenge" but have reached Everything Eleanor - I LOVE this set - especially the little bird. I wasn't really sure what I was going to do when I started this card but am really pleased with how it turned out.

The colours I have used are Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla. I stamped the central image and then covered it with a mask cut from a sticky note. The swirls and bird were stamped over the rest of the card with the mask in place. I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to add the random dots and sponged the edges . 

The sentiment from the Million and One Stamp Set was lined up using the fabulous Stamp-a-ma-jig and the card finished with Linen Thread and Pearl Basic Jewels.

So what do you think? I don't often make one layer cards - I may have to do more!

A Perfectly Penned Birthday Card!

Another birthday card for you today showing off the gorgeous Stampin' Up! Soho Subway Designer Series Paper.

The swirls from the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set were stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and the edges of the card sponged. This piece was matted onto Crisp Cantaloupe card and an Early Espresso card base.  The label was a bit of a "happy accident" - I had stamped it in Crisp Cantaloupe ink but it didn't look right so I stamped it again using Crumb Cake ink - but forgot to clean my stamp first!! I quite like the effect.  The sentiment from Perfectly Penned Stamp Set was lined up using the Stamp-a-ma-jig - perfect placement every time! The label was cut out using the super sharp Paper Snips.  

A banner was cut from a piece of Soho Subway Designer Series Paper and edged with card punched using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, this was layered on top of a Tea Lace Paper Doilie which had been sponged with Crumb Cake and Crisp Cantaloupe inks.  The label was popped over a piece of Victoria Crochet Trim. A Very Vintage Designer Button knotted with Linen Thread and Pearl Basic Jewels finish the card.

I love the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set; swirls, flowers, labels and a cute bird - what more could you want?
