The set I am using today is Happy Together and is a set of 5 featuring some very cute birds – a very versatile set as you can use it for any occasion – aren’t they cute?
My card is clean and simple and uses the colors Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Whisper White…I stamped my Baby Birds in Espresso ink and colored them in – what I love is that these three baby birds are featured on one stamp making it quick and easy to make cards using it…
I stamped and colored Mama Bird and then used my 1 3/8″ Circle Punch to punch her out and added her to my strip using Dimensionals to make her a feature.
The ‘happy together’ sentiment is from this set but you could easily use a birthday or thank you stamp instead – I punched it out and layered it using two Oval Punches and added it to my card base, again using Dimensionals…
To carry on the cutesy theme I added a couple of elements – a polka dotted background using my Big Shot and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder…
And the scalloped edges each side of my strip are so easy to create using the Scallop Edge Border Punch…how did I get the perfect fit between the scalloped edges for my white cardstock strip?
Simple – let me show you how…shape one edge using your border punch…
And then lay on your cardstock strip – use a ruler to measure 1/2″ down from the bottom edge of your strip and make a pencil mark…
Use your paper trimmer to cut away the piece below your paper mark and then shape this bottom edge using your border punch…and you are done!
