For my first card, I added a piece of Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper to a whisper white card base. The die-cut layers have been cut from the Hippo and Friends Dies and added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals between the card and the Misty Moonlight layer. 

Following on from yesterday's Facebook Live I've not been able to put my scissors down!  The Bird Ballad Suite is by far my most used set of products from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue and even now I feel inspired whenever I use it. I also love how it fits with so many of our other products too.

For today's card, I have used the 'Seriously the Best' stamp from the Seriously The Best Cling Stamp Set from the January - June Mini Catalogue to create the stamped background piece.  I have stamped repeatedly using the Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin' Pad onto Purple Posy Cardstock. 

I have added a strip of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Papers along the left hand side which I have torn a little and added a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that I have die-cut from one of the Ornate Borders Dies, and added a piece of Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine secured in a bow.

The bird has been fussy cut from one of the sheets of  Bird Ballad Designer Series Papers  and I have heat embossed the same sentiment onto Basic Black Cardstock using White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  


I have added some extra detail to the inside of the card to match the card front and a sentiment from the Free as a Bird Cling Stamp Set that I have stamped using a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad.


I really love all the detail in this suite and how the coordinate together.  This suite is currently available to purchase, however when the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue is released in June, it may not carry over so if it's on your wish list, I would order it ASAP!

Thanks so much for reading today's blog post, I hope you come back soon.

Have a great day!
