Hi Stamping Friends!

It's Sunday Showcase time and today I wanted to show you my For The Birds Stamper Sampler Class up close in all it's detailed cuteness!

For the birds - ensemble 

For The Birds Class Kit—My For The Birds class features 6 bright & cheerful note cards featuring the For The Birds stamp set and the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack, plus a matching, desktop-style Top Note note card holder.  Want to make a set at my Stamper Sampler Class or get a Class-To-Go Kit?  See complete For The Birds class details.

Background Basics—All of the cards are created with the 3-1/2" x 5" Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes.  I used a different color from the Brights Collection DSP Stack for each of the 6 cards.  The polka dot patterned paper measures 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" and it's matted on the same color card stock measuring 3" x 4-1/2".  I also added a 1" x 4" banner in the same color of card stock down the center.

Stamped Focal Point Basics—Each card features a different image from the For The Birds stamp set, inked in Memento Black Ink onto Whisper White, then die-cut with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits and eventually popped up with Dimensionals after coloring. 

Coloring & Accents—I colored all of the images with Blendabilities Markers, but my class will feature Stampin' Write Markers.  Attendees can always bring their own Blendabilities Markers to class, if they prefer.  I added a 1/4" Cotton Ribbon Bow to the top or bottom of each focal point with a Glue Dot.

FREE Blendabilities During Sale-A-Bration—Don't have Blendabilities Markers yet?  Now is the perfect time to collect them, because you can choose any color Blendabilities Markers for FREE as a Sale-a-Bration item with your $50 order, now thru March 31, 2015!

Top Note Note Card Holder—This is a super-easy, desktop-style holder that perfectly fits the Note Cards & Envelopes size.  Here's how you make the box:

  • Cut card stock to 7-3/4" x 8-1/2".
  • On the 7-3/4" side, score at the 2" and 5-3/4" marks.
  • On the 8-1/2" side, score at the 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" marks.
  • Snip the score lines along the 8-1/2" side up to the intersection of the other score line.
  • Fold at the score lines and adhere into place with Fast Fuse or Sticky Strip to form the box bottom.
  • Die-cut 2 Top Note die-cut shapes in the same color card stock and adhere them to the front and back of the box with Fast Fuse or Sticky Strip.
  • Decorate!

Decorating The Box—The holder that we'll be creating will be in Tempting Turquoise and it includes a strip of the polka dotted Tempting Turquoise DSP from the Stack.  I added another Deco Labels Collection Framelit stamped and colored focal point on the front.
