Hello Harvest Pumpkins Card with Banner

Hello Harvest Pumpkins Card with Banner

This Hello Harvest Pumpkins Card with Banner turned out differently than the idea I had in my head when I started, but that’s what happens when you start looking through designer paper or different colors of paper or stamp sets. You never know for sure what you will come up with!

The card base is Soft Suede, after trying a multitude of different colors of cardstock! Then there are two layers of the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. The yellow Crushed Curry pattern adhered to the Soft Suede card base is the reverse side of the layer of black and white acorns pattern! I had another black & white striped paper picked out to be the background layer but I liked this acorn pattern better. The acorn layer is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ because I wanted more of the yellow to show.

The pumpkins are made with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies using Pumpkin Pie cardstock. These dies have a texture that transfers to the cardstock. I found that the texture would show better if I ran them through twice. The large pumpkin is made with the extra narrower piece adhered to the center of the large pumpkin piece. I also sponged some Pumpkin Pie ink around the edges of the pumpkin pieces and on top of the textured areas. For the little pumpkins, I die cut a narrow piece and then just trimmed it down, top and bottom, to make the two little pumpkins! The stems are diecut from Soft Suede. The vines are diecut from Shady Spruce and Granny Apple Green on the small pumpkins. I also sponged the little pumpkins but added some green ink because sometimes pumpkins have some variations of color on them.

The banner is stamped on the Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest paper, the same as the card layer. I first stamped the banner on Pumpkin Pie and sponged it but it was too much. The Crushed Curry banner looked better. Normally I don’t like things placed cockeyed, but since the large pumpkin is kind of tall and the banner is kind of large, I decided to place it at an angle in the corner! Sometimes you have to craft dangerously! Try something new!

Here is another fall card I made with the Rustic Harvest DSP with pumpkins. So many pretty patterns of paper for fall.

Creativity Now Splendid Thoughts New Life Together Card

Creativity Now Splendid Thoughts New Life Together Card

Last month Stampin’ Up! offered a virtual event for Demonstrators called “Creativity Now”. It was all stamping, no business, as they said. Just a gathering of Demonstrators from all over, stamping together following different presenters making several cards plus a couple of interviews with designers talking about the Splendid Day Suite and the Sweetest Christmas Suite. I always love “behind the scenes” information! I didn’t get to watch and stamp live last month but I did get to catch up and watch the recording and make most of the cards. This card, Creativity Now Splendid Thoughts New Life Together Card, is the first one that was shown.

This card sort of fits into “Watercolor Month”. Although it’s not really watercolored, it has that look in the background made with Stampin’ Blends markers rather than true watercoloring. The card base is Soft Sea Foam cardstock with a layer of Basic White cardstock and a piece of the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper. We started with the Basic White piece on which we “scribbled” light and dark colors of Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends markers. The top half of the Basic White is colored with the Light Pool Party and the bottom half (not quite out to all the edges) with Light Fresh Freesia. Then halfway down the Light Pool Party, it is colored with Dark Pool Party down to the Fresh Freesia. Likewise, the Light Fresh Freesia is half-colored with Dark Fresh Freesia. We were told just to scribble back and forth and you could do this as solidly or less solidly as you liked. If you wanted to, you could have used water and ink to achieve the same look. Just be cautious on Basic White so that you don’t get too much water.

After coloring the bands of color on the Basic White piece, we stamped the bee in the stamp set a couple of times, randomly, in upper and lower halves both in Pool Party ink and Fresh Freesia ink.

The greeting is stamped with one from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set in Fresh Freesia ink on a piece of Basic White, then the ends were “flagged” with Paper Snips. On the back of this sentiment piece, an 8″ piece of Soft Sea Foam Ribbon is folded in half and adhered to the back with a loop on the left side and the ribbon tails hanging out on the right side. The ribbon can be secured with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

We also used the Splendid Stems Dies to die cut two of the leafy stems in Soft Sea Foam. These are adhered to the back of the greeting, top and bottom, using Mini Glue Dots. This greeting piece is adhered to the center of the Basic White piece. Then this Basic White piece is adhered, at an angle, to a piece of the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper. We used the Fresh Freesia print side of one of the patterns, not the foil side. Then this layered piece is adhered to the card base popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. It is adhered at an angle. The presenter said she tried to place it so that the Basic White top piece is straight and then the designer paper underneath is angled slightly. You can do that or have it all straight as we usually do it.

You can take this idea and change it up a bit. Add a different greeting, different diecuts, color in the background with true watercoloring or different colors or even blocks of cardstock, stamp a random design on the card base, add some bling! So many possibilities, yet this card is soft and beautiful just as it is. It could be an engagement or wedding card or change the greeting for another occasion. This design idea is very versatile.

I think this Splendid Day Suite is kind of a sleeper in the Holiday Mini Catalog that might be overlooked. The designer paper is just gorgeous and the coordinating colors make for soft, colorful, and even relaxing impressions. There are lots of choices in the stamps and dies for leafy stems or stamped images. Be sure to check out the Splendid Thoughts Bundle for a savings of 10% if you want both the stamp set and dies. If you also want the designer paper and embellishments of Soft Sea Foam Ribbon and Open Leaf Trinkets, then just order the whole Suite!

Splendid Thoughts Sale-A-Bration Card and Envelope

Splendid Thoughts Sale-A-Bration Card and Envelope

Just as I had made this card using the Sale-A-Bration Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes I saw that Stampin’ Up! had an update that this product was SOLD OUT! Ugh!! It was a great product to have a package of card bases and decorated envelopes ready to go….for FREE! However, we can still make something similar on our own with designer paper, half a sheet of cardstock, and an envelope!

Although I used one of those card bases, you can simply use a very light designer paper background or stamp your own background on Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

I used the Splendid Thoughts Bundle in the Holiday Mini Catalog to decorate this card. The die-cut flower pot is the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper. I thought it looked fancy with the gold foil design on it plus has a little distressed look to it like a flower pot might have. The rest of the plants are all die cut with the Splendid Stems Dies. There are more dies for stems and leaves than there are stamps in the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set so you get a lot extra with the dies! In fact, if you needed to save money, you could just purchase the dies to make the stems and leaves and cut out cardstock or do your own coloring. Be aware that the stamps that you would think would color the leaves and flowers(?) of the other stem do not line up with the outline and that’s how they are supposed to be! Maybe a more modern look? It’s fine, but just know that your stamp is not defective or that you’re not crazy!

I popped up the pot on Stampin’ Dimensionals just at the bottom so I could stick in the plants wherever I wanted from the top. I had two that I stamped and overstamped with the “coloring in” stamp and the others were simply diecut from cardstock. I cut quite a few extras so I could play and arrange them in different ways. With this set, as long as you are diecutting some of the plants, do extras and keep them on hand! Some of the stems I cut shorter to fit properly.

I already had the second half-circle die cut in my cardstock in Soft Sea Foam cardstock so I copied a sample in the catalog and stamped a greeting on it. There are very nice sentiments in this Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set. Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side of the piece so it could overlap the flower pot and be even. I also added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a little bling!

If you wanted to decorate the inside of the envelope, just stick a piece of designer paper inside and then you’ll have to trim by hand the top portion to follow the line of the envelope flap but below the glue portion….or cover the flap entirely and add your own glue to mail the envelope. Or easier, adhere the designer paper to the outside of the flap and then trim around the flap to cut off the excess designer paper. A friend I sent a card to the other day noticed and asked about the flap of the envelope I had decorated in that way!

These card bases and envelopes may not still be available during Sale-A-Bration, but you can still make cards in Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party for sure! Remember to shop in increments of $50 if you can during Sale-A-Bration so you can earn the products you want in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! If you have a large enough order, you may be able to choose $100 level products or mix in some $50 level and a $100 level! Nice choices!

True Beauty Floral Birthday Card

True Beauty Floral Birthday Card

I had so much fun decorating the Sweet Little Box on yesterday’s post, that I wanted to stamp and die cut more flowers and make a full-size card. I really wanted to try out the diecut background on this card. So here we have the True Beauty Floral Birthday Card!

I used the Shimmery White Cardstock, one of my all-time favorite papers. You can’t see it in the photo but this paper has just the slightest glimmer to it so it looks quite elegant, especially with flowers I think! I used the diamond-shaped lattice die, included with the other flower and leafy dies in the Organic Beauty Dies. If you have the Adhesive Sheets, you could attach that to the back of the paper you are using for this lattice die so that you can easily adhere it to your card or project after diecutting it. Or use teeny tiny dots of glue on the back. I cut mine out of Gold Foil.

The flowers are all stamped on Shimmery White Cardstock using the True Beauty Stamp Set and then diecut with the Organic Beauty Dies. You can get these stamps and dies together in the True Beauty Bundle and save 10%. I just chose some random colors for the flowers: Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, and Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

I stamped and cut out a lot of flowers, stems, and leaves to play with. Then I just placed them around on the lattice background after it was adhered to the card front. Even when you have them how you like them, by the time you pick them up to apply adhesive, you might end up changing the design a little bit. I added some diecut stems and leaves, even one out of vellum.

The greeting is stamped from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set. It is die-cut with one of my favorite dies, this label die in the Meadow Dies. And for my favorite embellishment, I added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. You could add a different greeting on this card and it would still be appropriate. Flowers are good for lots of occasions!

Check out this Bundle or even the full Awash In Beauty Suite in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and you will be ready to make all kinds of floral cards!

Hues of Happiness Trio of Flowers

Hues of Happiness Trio of Flowers

Is this Hues of Happiness Trio of Flowers card bright enough with all the colors??! I was actually making some other cards using the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper with all the flowers, and when I turned one piece over to apply glue I saw this dark blue pattern with the tiny flowers! I loved it and wanted to make something with that pattern.

I just started assembling the card itself without knowing what I was going to put on it! I decided on a Daffodil Delight card base, then a piece of the designer paper, plus Sweet Sorbet for the bottom portion. To cover the seam where the two pieces overlap I used a strip of Granny Apple Green. By then it was looking pretty bright!

I thought I would add some of my extra diecut flowers from the designer paper, but the ones I had cut out looked a little pale against the colors I had already used for the card. What to do? Cut out more flowers in deeper colors! I played around with those and thought the card design called for a more whimsical look. I happened to put these three single smaller flowers across the top and I liked that look! They are just glued down flat but they could have been popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. It would also be fun to use the Wink of Stella brush on them to give them a little sparkle.

The greeting is in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set. I only used part of it, covering up the rest with a piece of washi tape (and remembered to remove it before stamping!!). Then I diecut it with a banner die in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also wrapped the new In Color 2022-2024 Baker’s Twine in Sweet Sorbet around the middle of the card layer three times and added a separate bow tied with two pieces of the twine.

This is really an easy, basic card design but I think the bright colors make it stand out. A strip of Parakeet Party cardstock across the seam would have been even brighter but I thought I liked the look of the Granny Apple Green color better. You could use this same background paper with some other fun image on the top or middle portion of the card for a different look. Just play with your paper and stamps and you will always come up with something as I did with this Hues of Happiness Trio of Flowers card.

Hues of Happiness Floral Card

Hues of Happiness Floral Card

Did you know that a lot of the flowers and even leaves in certain papers in the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper can be diecut right from the designer paper?! It’s a fun new trick Stampin’ Up! has been doing with some of its designer paper patterns. I came up with this Hues of Happiness Floral Card idea just by looking through the designer papers and finding this “other side of the paper” that looked so soft and pretty with mostly light blue and just a touch of green and blue in the corners to use as the background layer.

The card base is Pool Party with a layer, as I said, from “the other side” of one of the gorgeous floral papers. When you have papers like this you hate to NOT use the side with the pretty flowers, but sometimes, it must be done! I cut the paper so that it was mostly the Pool Party shade of blue and then a watercolor area of a darker blue in the upper right corner and a green watercolor area in the lower-left corner. You can see the brushstrokes.

Next, I cut the floral paper into smaller pieces so I could die cut a lot of the flowers and leaves using the Blossoming Happiness Dies. I die cut more than I needed, but I can use the extras on another card. I didn’t realize I could diecut leaves as well! Then I laid them out on the card front, fiddled with them for a while to figure out the design I liked, and fiddled some more. Finally, I was satisfied and started gluing them down. The large center flower is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I placed the leaves around where they looked good.

The greeting is in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pool Party ink on Basic White and die cut it with one of the banner dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies. This is a new set of dies in the Annual Catalog in the shapes of circles, squares, and labels all with a stitched edge. Very useful! And for a final touch, I added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a little sparkle.

When you have new designer papers, be sure to check if maybe the dies work on the images on the paper! Sometimes they do like on this Hues of Happiness Designer Paper that I could use on this Hues of Happiness Floral Card.

Sending Smiles Across the Miles Card

Sending Smiles Across the Miles Card

This Sending Smiles Across the Miles Card was fun to make with this brand-new stamp set! It’s mostly all stamping with one die-cut for the greeting! I didn’t really do such a great job of stamping, but most people wouldn’t notice and I still like the card! It could be interpreted as the “watercolor look”!

The card base is one of the new In Colors, Orchid Oasis with a layer of Basic White for the stamping. Sometimes it’s fun to “just stamp” like in the “olden days”! I used the new Sending Smiles Stamp Set. It’s great because it comes with several different stems for the flowers and several different flowers and sizes. All you have to do is stamp! I used Orchid Oasis ink for the large flowers and the same ink stamped off once for the small light purple flowers at the bottom. The pink flowers are Polished Pink. The flower stems are Parakeet Party ink. The flower centers are stamped in Daffodil Delight.

If I wanted to, I could have stamped and die cut the flowers. The dies that go with the Sending Smiles Stamp Set are the Sending Dies. You can purchase both the stamp set and dies in the Sending Smiles Bundle and save 10%!.

For the greeting, you can stamp the word “Sending” directly on the card. You can stamp the word on white cardstock in colored ink and die-cut, as I did. Or you can just die cut the word itself out of colored cardstock. I stamped my “Sending” in Polished Pink ink and then stamped the second part of the greeting in ink right below. It was the perfect fit! Lots of choices of greetings in the stamp set so I think this will be a useful set to own!

Orchid Oasis Cup of Tea Card

Leave a reply
Orchid Oasis Cup of Tea Card

This Orchid Oasis Cup of Tea Card was fun and pretty easy to make! I’m loving playing with the new 2022-2024 In Colors, the new Cup of Tea Stamp Set, and the Fabulous Frames Dies.

The card base is the new In Color, Orchid Oasis, cardstock. This card is a little smaller than usual, 4″ wide by 5 1 /4″ long. I cut a piece of the In Color Designer Paper Assortment to put across the middle of the card. This one is 2″ x 4″. You could make it wider or even use a layer to cover the front of the card except for the margins.

The Fabulous Frames Dies has this one die that I used that I really like. It’s also cut out in Orchid Oasis cardstock. The center piece of that frame even is cut out so you will need to glue it somewhere on the inside of that frame. Actually, I kind of wish it would all stay in one piece, too! Then it would be easier to layer something in the center. As it is, the center piece comes out so on this card, after stamping the center piece, I had to glue it to the backside of the frame. My Multipurpose Liquid Glue was really cooperating and I was able to squeeze out just tiny lines or dots of glue along that very narrow frame edge and then place my stamped piece on it. I didn’t need to put glue on the top or bottom fancy frame areas because I was going to adhere the whole thing to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The stamped piece on Basic White is stamped with Orchid Oasis ink for the cup, Parakeet Party for the leafy stems, and Orchid Oasis for the little flowers. I’m not sure I have completely figured out how to stamp those flowers to line up exactly with the stems. I got close, though. Maybe they aren’t supposed to line up! I don’t think it matters so just play!

For a little greeting, I just chose one of the small words in the Cup of Tea Stamp Set and stamped it on a narrow scrap strip of Basic White and then made a banner end with Paper Snips. (Or if you have the retired Tailored Tag Punch you can use the pointy end of that!)

There are lots of ways you could step up this card with “more” if you wanted to. You could add gems of some kind. You could die cut the cup and stems or flowers. Of course you could change out the colors and make it less monochromatic or tie on a tag with the little tag diecut and piece of twine. I was keeping this card rather simple although diecutting the frame and adhering the stamped piece took a bit of time.

Here is the first card I made from this Tea Boutique Suite.

I think you will really like these new In Colors. I recommend buying the assorted packs of cardstock so you get all the colors and then you can go back and order the individual colors you know you like. You can also buy an assortment of 12″ x 12″ cardstock!

Baseball Fans Need the Hey Sports Fan Suite!

Leave a reply
Hey Sports Fan Suite

Here’s something for baseball fans everywhere, the Hey Sports Fan Suite, in the Stampin’ Up! January – June 2022 Spring Mini Catalog. Baseball season is beginning, whether for professional teams or Little League and everything in between! I wish this Suite had been around many years ago when my boys were little and every Saturday (and more) was a baseball game! Maybe you just know someone who is a big baseball fan. How they would enjoy receiving a baseball card or project made just for them with the contents of this Suite!

Part of the Hey Sports Fan Suite is a Bundle – the Your Biggest Fan Stamp Set and the coordinating dies, Sports Events Dies. You save 10% by buying the Your Biggest Fan Bundle rather than the stamp set and dies separately. You receive the same discount purchasing the Suite, as far as the Bundle goes, entering the product number for the Hey Sports Fan Suite (157896) just saves you the time of entering each product in the whole Suite separately (assuming you want everything!).

The Suite comes with the Bundle, the Fan Baker’s Twine, Resin Stars, and the Hey Sports Fan 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The designer paper will be good for cardmaking but also scrapbooking. Perhaps if your kids played ball a few years back but you never got to those scrapbook pages, get the paper now and you’ll be inspired to make some of those scrapbook pages. Or use the paper as a background to frame some baseball photos or act as a mat. The Resin Stars can be used for other projects, not related to baseball, as can be the twine, so you might want to pick those up even if you are not into baseball. You might even find uses for the stamps and dies not related to baseball. Just the shapes can be used for many other sports or activities. Just think outside the box.

With spring and summer comes baseball. The sound of a baseball game on the radio or TV always takes me back to my childhood, maybe a lazy Sunday afternoon listening to or watching the baseball game. Growing up in St. Louis my family was Cardinal fans. I remember going to my first baseball game with my Girl Scout troop and in junior high, we could earn free baseball tickets if we got good grades! I can see my grandpa listening to the game on his big transistor radio. One time, as his eyesight was failing, he asked a family friend, who was a really big baseball fan, if he would take him to a Cardinal game along with that man’s kids and my brother and me. My grandpa paid for good seats for all of us so he could see better. When my husband and I and our baby got transferred to Houston, one of the first fun things we wanted to do was go to an Astros game at the Astrodome! I remember even dressing up a little bit, to sit in the bleachers, because “it was the Astrodome!” I remember being on a tour of the Astrodome when it was new when my family made a trip to Houston to visit friends who had moved here. It was impressive! And when the Astros played in the World Series several years ago, I got to go to a game with a friend, the only time in my life I’ve had “connections”! It was the thrill of a lifetime to walk into that stadium knowing I was at the World Series!

Be sure to check out the Hey Sports Fan Suite or the individual products in the Spring Mini on pages 68-69.

Flowering Fields Z-Fold Easter Card

Leave a reply
Flowering Fields Z-Fold Easter Card

The Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper has so many pretty sheets in it! It’s pretty difficult to choose which one to work with! This day, this page with the yellowish tulips is the one that spoke to me! This is just a simple Flowering Fields Z-Fold Easter Card with the designer paper and a little stamping making a bright card for spring.

The card base is Mango Melody, one of the coordinating colors in the designer paper. To make the Z-Fold, just score the front of the card in half, at 2 1/8″ and fold back on itself. It’s really easy and the recipient will think you made an extra-special card! The tulip designer paper on the front panel is cut at 5 3/8″ x 2″. The opposite side of the tulip paper is the one I adhered inside the card. It is cut at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. You could also use the normal layer sizes of 1/4″ margins instead of 1/8″.

Here is a similar card from a year ago that can give you another idea.

On Basic White cardstock I stamped a couple of tulips with the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set. This was two-step stamping using So Saffron and Mango Melody inks for the flowers and Pear Pizzazz for the stems and leaves. After stamping on the Basic White, it was die cut with one of the Scalloped Contours Dies to make this scalloped rectangle. I situated the die so that the flowers would be down lower on the die cut to leave room for a greeting. I found the “”Happy Easter” greeting in the Celebrating You Stamp Set in the Spring Mini Catalog. It is stamped in Mango Melody ink. This piece was then adhered to the front of the card, right on the fold. Be sure to only put adhesive on half of the piece and the other side shouldn’t have any adhesive on it so it doesn’t stick to the inside of the card.

Flowering Fields Z-Fold Easter Card Inside

For the inside of the card, I die cut another Basic White piece the exact size of the scalloped rectangle on the front of the card. I made sure that it was perfectly placed behind the front piece so that it wouldn’t show underneath from the front. To do this I put adhesive on the back of the scalloped rectangle and then held it perfectly behind and against the front rectangle. Then I folded the back of the card over so that the rectangle would then adhere to the inside of the card. It worked! You’ll understand when you actually do it. Now a message can be stamped on the inside of the card or a note written and it won’t be sticking out from the front of the card!

I always say these Z-Fold cards look like something really special but they are easy to make! No one has to know! I hope you will feel inspired with this Flowering Fields Z-Fold Easter Card and make your own, even with different paper and theme! Try it!

Friendly Hello Bird Just For You Card

Friendly Hello Bird Just For You Card

The first month of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration is over today! But there is one more month so maybe you can snag this beautiful designer paper and stamp set with a $100 purchase! This Friendly Hello Bird Just For You Card is made with the Friendly Hello Bundle.

I was in a card-making frenzy the other day with this Friendly Hello Bundle! I chose several colors of cardstock for card bases that matched the designer paper and cut the designer paper to layer on the card. Then I ended up making every card a slightly different design with different greetings and embellishments. I stamp at my kitchen table so it’s always a shame when I have to stop for dinner! But I find it easy to clean up my stamping stuff more than anything else because I know where each thing goes.

An interesting thing about the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper is that it is designed so you can add some stamped line images to the paper! Some of the images in the Friendly Hello Stamp Set match the images in the paper.

For this card, though, I ended up using a Basic White card base plus a Petal Pink layer underneath the designer paper. I stamped the bird on a piece of Basic White and then cut it out with a die in the Tasteful Labels Dies. It seemed like it needed something, being all monochromatic, so I went back to an old technique we used to do a LOT – Sponging around the edges! This time, however, instead of using a piece of a Stamping Sponge, I used the new Blending Brushes. I just rubbed the brush on the Petal Pink ink pad to pick up some ink and started off the diecut before blending onto the edge. It’s very light, especially in the photo, but it just adds a little something! I popped this piece up with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

The greeting is in the new stamp set Celebrating You. It is in the new Spring Mini Catalog on page 65. It is a stamp set full of basic greetings that we all need all year. There are other stamp sets that have fun and trendy sayings, but mostly we all need a set of these basic sentiments. This set will take care of all those important occasions from birthdays to baby to anniversary to Father’s Day! I stamped it in Petal Pink ink and just made the little banner ends.

Before adhering the layers to the card base, be sure to do the ribbon first! This is the very beautiful Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon. It’s one of my favorites! I wrapped the ribbon around the card layers then tied a separate bow and adhered that with a Mini Glue Dot or two.

This Friendly Hello Bird Just For You Card is pretty basic, really, but the diecut showcasing the bird on a twig and sponged around the edge plus the ribbon makes it look rather elegant.
