Back To Making Cards

It's been almost three weeks since I've made a single card.  That's a long time for me!  My craft room was rearranged as a guest room and so the Cameo isn't set up to use.  You'll realize how helpful a die cutting machine can be when you can't use yours!  This simple bird house card took me much longer to make since I cut the birdhouse out by hand.

The birds are clip art images.  I cut them out by hand also since the print and cut on my Cameo wasn't available.   The flowers are a Bitty Punch and the branches are from the Bird Builder punch.

This card was inspired by one seen on Pinterest.  I used Whisper White and London Fog inks.  The flower is a Bitty Punch.  The pink adhesive pearls are from the Dollar Tree.

Garden Collection Stamps Card

The bird image is from a set of stamps by Spellbinder that came with Card Making And Papercraft magazine as a bonus.  They were designed to go with Spellbinder's Lacy Circles dies.

I do not own the dies so I used my Cameo and Make The Cut software to size and cut the scalloped circle to fit the stamped image.  The bird was stamped onto a 2 3/4" circle of white cardstock and colored with Promarkers.

This is my version of a card suggestion in the Card Making magazine.

You're the best" Card

The two ovals were cut on my Cameo.  I inked the edges with Chestnut Roan.  The stamps used are from various sets.  The bird is a clip art image done using the print and cut function on my Cameo.

More Clip Art Bird Cards

Just some variations using the clip art bird.

Clip Art Bird Card

The bird image is free clip art I found on Google.  Adding a sentiment to it using card making software was simple to do.  Then I printed the image onto some vintage paper, added some scalloped punch shapes using an EK Success punch, and a short piece using an EK Success border punch, Liquid Pearl dots and a silk flower to finish.  There's a light Chestnut Brown ink used on the edges.
