Oh, how I love the Bird Ballad Suite, which includes the Free as a Bird Bundle, the Bird Ballad Laser-cut Cards & Tin, and much much more. I love the ease of the ONE NUMBER ordering if you want the whole suite! You can also select the items individually. The Free as Bird Bundle includes the Free as a Bird stamp set and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I have also made a pocket with these dies. I will post that card on another day. The tin includes 12 laser-cut cards and 12 envelopes. These are full size cards. I added a layer of Pool Party cardstock behind the laser cut, and then topped it with the birds. The Stamparatus was used to get the mirror image of the bird. I used a 3.5" x 5.5" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock for the mirror image. You will have to experiment with the placement of your bird stamp to get it placed just where you want it. My Pool Party layer is just shy of 4.25" x 5.5". Add adhesive just on the corners and then in the center of this layer. The birds will cover up the adhesive in the center. I used a Pool Party Blends to color my pearls. Stampin'Up! supplies are below.
Pool Party cardstock: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Thick Very Vanilla cardstock: 3.5" 5.5"
On the Very Vanilla Cardstock and using the Stamparatus, mirror stamp the single bird from the Free as A Bird Stamp Set.
First position the Very Vanilla cardstock into the corner of the Stamparatus. Then place the stamp where you want the image to appear on one side. Then close the Stamparatus so that the stamp is attached to the clear plate. Remove the cardstock and place the Silicone Craft Sheet into the corner of the Stamparatus. Ink the stamp using the Memento ink pad, close the clear plate, and stamp the image; then open and repeat. Carefully place the cardstock over the top of the Silicone Craft Sheet into the corner of the Stamparatus, then close the clear plate and apply pressure. Open and carefully remove the cardstock. You will now have an image on the reverse of the cardstock. Remove the Silicone Craft Sheet and with the image facing up, place the Very Vanilla Cardstock piece back into the corner of the Stamparatus. Ink the stamp and close the lid, and stamp the bird again. The birds will now be facing each other.
Die cut this piece with the Stitched Nested Label Dies.
