Enjoying the Bird Ballad Suite, Part 2!

June 8, 2019 MaryLeave a comment

This week, I’ll be focusing on the lovely Bird Ballad Suite from the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Yesterday, I posted a project using Pool Party card stock with a stamped background. Today, I am featuring two cards using a different element from the Suite:

Bird Ballad Suite - Blushing Bride - Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin - Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper - Mary Hanson - Up North Stampin' Bird Ballad Suite - Terra Cotta Tile - Stitched Nested Labels Dies - Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin - Mary Hanson - Up North Stampin'

Do you see the beautiful laser cut paper? These are cards that come in a sweet tin called the Bird Ballad Laser-cut Cards & Tin. You can insert any color cardstock behind the laser cut details, OR you can leave it plain. In the top card, I used Blushing Bride, and then I used Terracotta Tile card stock. They are accompanied by beautiful envelopes as well.

I stamped the birds and some flowers from the new stamp set called Free as a Bird in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, and then once again used the Stitched Nested Framelits Dies to frame my birds. Love these dies! In the second card, I cut out a second shape using some of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and offset underneath the birds on top.

I colored the birds using Stampin’ Blends. You can use any colors you’d like to make your cute little birdies come alive. I could do this all day long, as I find it quite relaxing, even though I am NO expert!

Both cards feature the fun little antique-looking embellishments you see below, called Bird Ballad Trinkets. I also used the new Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim on the bottom card. All the products I used for these projects are found at the bottom of this post!

Did you know there is an order number so that you can simply order this ENTIRE suite?? It’s #152190. Here is what you get in the suite! Inside that beautiful tin is a set of delightfully detailed cards, found at the bottom of the photo. They’re gorgeous.

Introducing the Bird Ballad Suite!

June 7, 2019June 8, 2019 Mary2 Comments

I have been having fun with the lovely Bird Ballad Suite from the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Many people have chosen this as their favorite suite, and people are ordering like crazy. This week, I’ll be focusing on some cards I have made. The first one is one of my faves!

I used a Pool Party panel on the top of the Whisper White card base. I stamped the leaf background on the Pool Party panel with Pool party ink. I stamped the darling group of birds with Memento Ink and then had so much fun coloring them with Stampin’ Blends! I cut the white panel of birds out with the awesome Stitched Nested Framelits Dies. LOVE these!

I wrapped some White Flax Ribbon around the blue panel and adhered the birds with dimensionals. I finished off with some sequins and baker’s twine!

Did you know there is an order number so that you can simply order the ENTIRE suite?? It’s #152190. Here is what you get in the suite! Inside that beautiful tin is a set of delightfully detailed cards, found at the bottom of the photo. They’re gorgeous.

An Incredible Offer from Me!

May 30, 2019 MaryLeave a comment

Hi again —

Looking through the discounted Stampin’ Up! products (sales starts today, Thursday, May 30!), I was struck with an idea. My FAVORITE kit from Occasions Catalog was the Incredible Like You kit! The cards are darling! You create 16 (four of each design) of these colorful, fresh beauties! There is glimmer paper on each to add a darling sparkle! And catch those cute envelopes.

Incredible LIke You - Set 2 - Mary Hanson - Up North Stampin' - Stampin' Up!

So here’s the deal: If you purchase this kit at the discounted price, I will lend you my stamp set (called Incredible Like You), to create the kit. Just a little additional savings. By the way, I’ve used the stamp set over and over, so it’s worth considering purchasing that for yourself as well. But at any rate, you can borrow my stamp set to complete your kit and return when you are through!

Here it is — darling, right?

I thought I’d show you one more card made from a Fancy Fold design I got from Jackie Bultje, the Pampered Stamper! Her video tutorial for this design is right HERE! She does a fantastic job of explaining how to make this card.

For this card, I used the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper, retiring soon — it is so fun and bright! Get some soon if you don’t want to miss out!

Under the point card, you’ll see a little surprise, and then the entire card opens up AGAIN! So fun!

I featured a different fun fold on the Pal’s Blog Hop yesterday, and you can find my post for that project HERE. Notice what a different ‘feel’ it has, using a different stamp set and a softer color palette. See below for the list of products I used. Click on any to START SHOPPING with me!
