Winterly Tree Tops

Love birds and nature scenes? I love to watch the bird feeder during the winter and the variety of birds that come to enjoy the food I put out for them. Sunflower seeds, suet, the choices in bird food have really grown since I started to do this at our home. I’ve even grown some sunflowers to share. Birds are always entertaining to watch. So when I saw the Nests of Winter Suite (164072) I couldn’t resist.

Today I’m going to share some cards with you that I received in my swap highlighting this Suite. This first card uses the die to frame the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (164183). Our Stampin’ Blends were used to give the images a bold pop of color and the Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) was used to create the tag for the greeting and add a bit more texture to the card front.

And how about this next card that uses the rich Gold Mercury Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164142) and our Metallic Enamel Effects Basics (161610) to give it a rich look.

A bit of our black powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) and heat from our Heat Tool (129053) give has been used on the sentiment to make it shine against the Real Red Card front.

The birds in this set can be colored in different ways to show off your favorite birds and the Designer Series Paper can be cut out with the Winterly Tree Top Dies (164065) which is always fun for easy cards that don’t require any coloring!

Today’s card uses this stamp set and the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (164156) to kick off it’s color choice. I love the way these leaves have all the shading and texture built right into them. And since it is a two step stamp it is easy to use multiple colors to create a fall feel easily.

The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive 164138) adds some wonderful texture to the Poppy Parade background layer. And did you know that this Hybrid comes with a set of dies that snap into the embossing folder and cut out the images too. So cool.

The all occasions sentiment is one of the two from the set and has been punched out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 119850) and a bit of our Wild Wheat Jute found in the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) has been tucked behind it.

Thoughtful Expressions

Posted on by

Love hummingbirds? I started to enjoy them about the time we started camping in the mountains years ago as they weren’t something I saw often growing up. My mother in law had a feeder on her porch and we’d sit on the swing watching them. I was amazed at just how close they would come to us. As we moved into our new home, I made sure to have one up in front of my dining room window so I could enjoy them. So when I saw the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (1628915)

It was one I thought would make some beautiful cards and it includes some sentiments that aren’t typical ones we find in sets. So today’s card uses this wonderful little hummingbird image to create a card I’m afraid we need more often than we’d like.

This card uses a watercolor wash for the hummingbird and then a layer of VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) and clear embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) to really make the little guy pop and give him depth.

The Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (163317) adds a bit more shine to the project and a lovely shimmer and the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) have been used to cut out both the paper and sentiment panels.

So what do you think? Can you see creating those cards you need using this stamp set like I can?
