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.

Paper trickery! I used 1/4 inch strips of cardstock to create stripes. I cut these into 1/4 inch strips and offset for a checked pattern. I like how this looks like primitive Halloween decor. #heroarts #halloweencard #cardmakingreels #papercrafting
Happy Halloween!  I treated myself to Heroween 13 days of Crafty Treats. I'm a sucker for a good advent calendar, Halloween and super cute dies!

I created these two cat cards from the 13 days advent dies and stamps. Cardstock is all Stampin' Up!
