Aviary

Good morning all, and it is a good morning because it is Friday and that means the weekend is here!  Today's card is CASE'd from one of my most favourite Stampin' Up! demonstrators...not that I know her personally, but I know her work well.  It is Kimberly Van Diepen and her blog is Stampin' By The Sea!

I've made a few changes, actually they aren't really changes, just "omissions" but essentially it is an out right copy of Kimberly's work!

Supplies
Stamp Sets:  Aviary, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink:  Black Staz On, Real Red Classic Ink
Card Stock:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla
Designer Series Paper:  Love Notes (retired)
Punches:  Modern Label Punch
Accessories:  SNAIL, Stamp-a-ma-Jig, 5/8" Basic Black Satin Ribbon, Sticky Strip, Paper Snips, Stamping Sponges


Tips

1. The Modern Label punch comes in 1 size, so to layer it I cut the black outer layer in half and then just layer the ends.
2. Sponging the edge of the Very Vanilla cardstock gives some depth to the images.
3. I used the Stamp-a-ma-Jig to place the bird and the stand images perfectly.
4. I used the sticky strip for the ribbon, which is just glued to the DSP and not wrapped all the way around.

Thanks for your visit today and if you get a chance check out Kimberly's blog, she has some great projects.

Long Time No Post

It feels good to be back, I'm sorry I haven't posted in such a long time.  I started a new job in December, I'm the interim nurse manager on the unit that I've worked on for 12 years now.  I'm really enjoying it, honestly more than I thought I would, but it takes a lot of my time.  I've been making cards over the last several months, I just haven't taken time to post.

Anyways, it feels good to be posting again, and I promise I'll work on some time management skills, and try not to go such a long time without posting again.

Todays card is a CASE (I'm sorry, I don't remember where I seen this card, if you do let me know, I'd love to give credit where credit is due!!
