Hi Stampers!
Time for the new SU-Only Challenges- "Bows, Bows, Bows"!! You can create bows from
cardstock, ribbon, twine – there are so many possibilities :-)
I hope that you will
come check out the rest of the Design Team projects and join in on in on the
fun with your Stampin’ Up! Only creations.
I created a birthday card for my stash and entered this card as my second entry into the Seize theBirthday Challenge:-)
To create this project:
Ink the Carolina Wren and
foliage stamps from An Open Heart using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp
onto Whisper White cardstock.
Color the foliage using
the Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities™ and cut out using the Banner
Collection Framelits™ (also cutting a banner the same size out of Cajun Craze
cardstock). Cut the Crajun Craze banner
in half and layer behind the foliage banner and add the lower part of the image
behind the banner.
Color the Carolina Wren
image using Stampin’ Write markers- So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Cajun
Craze and Basic Black and carefully cut out the image. Adhere the wren using Stampin’ Dimensionals®
to the banner.

Split a White Paper Tea
Lace Doily in half and adhere to the top portion of a piece of Park Lane Designer
Series Paper (DSP).
Add a strip of Cajun Craze
cardstock to hide the seam of the doily and add the 5/8” Gold Satin Ribbon. Adhere
the DSP background panel to the Whisper White card base.
Create the 5/8” Triple bow
from Gold Satin Ribbon, add to the top of the banner and add the banner to the
card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Stamp the sentiment using
Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and use the Hexagon
Punch to create the banner points.
Mount onto a smaller banner created from Cajun Craze cardstock and add
to the cardfront.
Add the Pearls to finish
off the card.

Thanks again for stopping
by - I hope you have a chance to join in on our SUO101 “Bows, Bows, Bows” Challenge! Have a great week!!
Just gorgeous, Julie! The images are colored so perfectly and your bow is fabulous. So glad to finally find out what kind of bird that is. How did you figure that out?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy! My husband and I are avid bird watchers and I immediately recognized one of our favorite wren "buddies" :-) One of the distinguishing marks of the Carolina Wren is their short angled tail along with the black lines above and below the white stripe through the eye :-) Again, thank you for your sweet comment and have fun stamping! Hugs to you, my friend!
