Bird Ballad Laser-cut cards

Leave a reply

I wanted to do something a little different with the Bird Ballad Laser-cut cards so I decided to add a frame using the Stitched Rectangles dies (148551) out of very vanilla card stock

This makes it a lot simpler to add the petal pink piece of cardstock to the inside of the card base since you have a larger margin. Next I cut a banner slightly under 1 inch wide and embossed it in gold with a sentiment from the Here’s a Card stamp set (149438). I used the triple banner punch to make the flag on the banner and added it to the card leaving space on the right hand side.

For the decoration, I used the Perennial Essence Vellum cardstock (149101) to cut out petals using the Perennial Flower punch (149522) and the Leaf punch (144667) and a gold Faceted Gem (144141). In general, I don’t use much vellum, but I love it here.

Let me know what you think – both on the card and your use of vellum.

Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards and tin

I’ve been playing with the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards and tin lately. Well with the card bases anyway. They are so beautiful and at $18 for 12 laser-cut cards, 12 envelopes plus a tin to keep them in, they are a steal (149595).

I’ve been playing with different ways of decorating these using mostly punches since I was designing for a class away from home. For this one, I used a piece of Merry Merlot cut to 5 3/8 by 4 1/8 inches. The multipurpose glue is best for attaching this to the inside of the laser cut part. Anything else is just too wide. I find it easier to carefully add a tiny amount of glue to the edge of the Merry Merlot and then attach it to the card base.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Seaside Notions in Merry Merlot and used the the Banner Triple Punch (138292) to make an easy banner. Then came the fun decoration! I used the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Washi Tape (149585) to make a 5 petal flower and added a Perennial Essence Floral Center (149442) in the centre. Mixing up a few suites but I love how it turned out!

Let me know what you think.
