Basic Borders Dies Archives - Bluegrass Stamper

Hey stampers! We made this cute card at Stamp Club last month using the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and Songbird Builder Punch. I hope you enjoy this Sweet Songbirds Quick & Easy Fun Fold!

I’m writing this post from the Great Smoky Mountains. We’ve decided to see what RVing is all about, and believe me, we have A LOT to learn!

Meet Max and Jennie

We adopted Max from our local animal shelter two days before Halloween last year. He’s a great dog, and he’s living his best life! We adopted Jennie ten years ago from another animal shelter. As you can see, her idea of the good life is a little different.

Sweet Songbirds Quick & Easy Fun Fold

This card has a LOT of stamping, but it’s still an easy card to make. The subtle clouds in the background are made by cutting a mask from scrap cardstock using one of the Basic Borders Dies and using Tahitian Tide ink with a Blending Brush. You can watch the video to see how this card is made.

Petal Park Thinking of You

For my card, I used a Balmy Blue card base, and attached a 1″ strip of Country Gingham DSP to the right edge. I cut a white panel and used a die from the Basic Borders set to cut a decorative edge along the right side.

The leaves are stamped in Mint Macaron. The outline stamp is full strength, and the solid stamp was stamped off once on scrap paper for a lighter hue. I did the same with the flowers in Balmy Blue on a Basic White scrap and punched them with the Petal Park Punch. I stamped the greeting from Go-To Greetings in Balmy Blue.

The white panel is adhered to the front of the card over the DSP strip and the flowers are attached with Dimensionals. Finally, the card is embellished with Pastel Pearls.
