Free as A Bird - Stamp Review Crew

June 30, 2019
Stamp Review Crew blog banner(2).png

Welcome to the Free as Bird edition of Stamp Review Crew. This stamp set sure is a beauty and has quickly become a fast favorite from the 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. Every project I’ve seen with this set looks so good - a true sign of a great set.

My card today uses only the bird and the thank you greeting from this stamp set. I colored the bird using Stampin’ Blends. I pulled in a tiny piece of the coordinating Bird Ballad designer series papers and a key embellishment from the coordinating Bird Ballad embellishments. The background is from the Script 3d embossing folder. This is also a new favorite folder! Look how crisp the script text appears. I added a little pool party vignette to that embossed background behind the bird using a blending brush and Pool Party ink. It give the words just a little pop.

Loving this set. It’s likely my most used new catalog stamp set so far. Below are two additional projects I’ve created using this stamp set.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Bronwyn. Her 3D cards always wow. I can't wait to see what invention she has come up with for this set. And, be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL my talented friends have created using this set. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp.

Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
