Stamp Off For the Birds Flying Home

Welcome, from Susan, Buffy and myself.

We're glad that you are here to check out

our little challenge.

This week, we are doing a "For the Birds" Challenge.

SU has some beautiful sets, featuring a variety of

birdie goodness.  We hope that you enjoy.

I LOVE the  Flying Home set, on page 41 of the Occasions

catalog.  It is sweet, fun to color and open to many techniques.

In this example, I colored the focal image with 

Stampin' Blends and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes

Framelits (annual p 214) and Layering Circles Framelits Dies.

  I colored the strip of Petal Passion DSP with 

Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  Linen Thread gave it a

bird nest kind of feel.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please hop on over to

see what kind of birdie trouble Buffy and Susan are in!
And no, Buffy and I did not coordinate on our cards.
I'm just glad that Buffy survived her close encounter
with a blackbird!!

Celebrate You Stamparatus Hinge Step

I decided to add one more Stamparatus Hinge step

sample, so that you can see different ways to use

this techique.   This sample uses the Amazing You

stamp set from the SAB offerings, which I am "guessing"

might be in the upcoming 2018-29 annual catalog,

since the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies will be available. 

Timeless Textures (p 154) can also be used

with the Hinge Step technique, to help you line up

all of your stamped images.

The other entertaining thing about this card is 
that the coffee stain stamp sort of looks like a large "C"
in front of the "celebrate" sentiment.

Sending you Hugs

I got my Stamparatus a while back,

and have played with it just a little.

In this example, I used the Lovely Inside & Out

set (annual p 157) to stamp a series of "HUGS" by

moving the Stamparatus hinge down the device.

For more information on the hinge step

technique, please check out the 

Stampin' Up! video below.  The Stamparatus

will be available in the upcoming 2018-19 Annual Catalog

Easter Blessings

The cross is the lightening rod of grace,

that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ,

so that only the light of his love,

remains for believers.
