Free as a Bird is one of the new Stampin’ Up suites from the 2019-2020 catalog. For June Stamp Camp, this stamp set is being featured on an easel card. Although dies are not available for this stamp set, there is beautiful Bird Ballard DSP. The Bird Ballad bundle is sold with the new Stitched Nested Labels which you can see used here. The Bird Ballad suite bundle is $94.75 BUT includes the Free as a Bird stamp set, Stitched Nested Labels Dies, Bird Ballad DSP, Bird Ballad Laser-cut Cards & Tin, 10 yards of Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim, and 24 Bird Ballad Trinkets! $94.75 is not such a scary price when you consider everything included. I opted for the Free as a Bird Bundle which includes the stamp set and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies for $51.25 – 10% off the individual price.
The birds and flowers in the top easel card sample are colored with assorted yellow Stampin’ Blends – Daffodil Delight, Pineapple Punch, So Saffron (new) and Mango Melody, plus a bit of Smoky Slate. The sample to the left has some added color in the flowers – light and dark Rococo Rose (new). Of course you can color your birds and flowers in any color you choose! The card base is Basic Black and the Daffodil Delight rectangle is embossed with the 3D Basket Weave embossing folder. The “pop-up” piece that holds the easel up is a simple stamped “HELLO” that is die cut with the smallest Stitched Nested Labels Die and layered on the next size Nested Labels Die in Basic Black. This double layer is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals which gives it the “pop” needed to hold the easel.
I attempted to flatten the card for this picture but it refused to stay absolutely flat. This, however, shows how the card would look when removed from the envelope.
Don’t forget to let me know if you will be coming to June Stamp Camp and which cards you would like to do. I’m looking forward to working with colors other than the Christmas in July reds, greens and navy!
