Free as a Bird Your Friendship Means the World to Me Greeting Card. Crafty Collaborations Retiring In Colours Blog Hop April 2021

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm joining in the another Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop - this one is a salute to the retiring in colours. For those unfamiliar, Stampin Up have a core colour collection and then two sets of in colours, which run for two years each, retiring alternate years meaning with each catalogue you get a new set. So I am really excited for the new ones, but |I am so sad to see these leave, I have loved using these ones, I really will miss them.




Measurement 

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

some scraps

2019-21 In Colours DSP Stack

Rococo Rose 

1pc - 4" x 5 5/8"

Fold the basic black card stock along the score line and add the basic white piece to the inside.

Take the intricate die from the curvy dies and place in your cut and emboss machine - running the die quite close to the bottom of the longest edge.  Ink uo the larger flower in Rococo  rose and stamp all over the DSP. Add this panel to the card front.

Also, cut out a white and a pretty peacock nested stitched die shape, the White one a size smaller that the peacock. Stamp the sentiment towards the left hand side and layer these two up. Cut off the blank space to the right of the sentiment and then add this to the card front.

Stamp out a selection of flowers and leaves from Free as a bird, fussy cut and then arrange on the card front using both liquid glue and dimensionals to give different heights.

Pop a pearl into the centre of all the flowers.

Job Done - Super quick, not a great deal of effort - and such a fabulous card to send. You could easily switch up the colours or even the stamp set to get the desired look tailored to your recipient,

I hope you liked today's card, please take a look at all the other talented crafters and see what they have made using our retiring In Colours.
