Botanical Bird CTC#235


Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week we are CASEing the card on page 159, now there's a challenge!



I actually made another card for this blog first, before going on to make this one. When it came time to photograph my projects, the first one didn't photograph well, so I was glad I made this version.



Inspiration came from the strip of DSP, the tag/white strip with writing at the bottom, and an image jutting off the tag. Botanical Bliss and the dies were out for their first use, but I did only order them at the end of May, so it's not as bad as it sounds.



This bird tag top was what really drew me to this set, but the dual script on the sentiment is pretty cute too. There is actually a solid bird in Botanical Bliss, but a little colouring was what I was in the mood for, and the single bird from Free As A Bird was perfect.



The bird cage paper is from the Bird Ballad DSP, which is part of the same suite as Free As A Bird. The Stamparatus was handy to get the position of the leaves in the correct spot, and that meant it was set up to stamp the inside of the card too, in the exact same spot.


The next talented crew member on the hop is the amazing Julia Quinn

  1. LIke you Rachel I have only just acquired this botanical set, but you've been more dedicated than me in putting it to use, and how lovely is your card. Your tag is lovely over that DSP. Great CASE

  3. Aww, what a sweet little birdie card! I'm a bit ashamed to admit I've had these dies for a year, but hardly used them :(

  6. Lovely card, Rachel. The leaves mirrored on the inside is a cool idea. Your card has a very restful feel to it.

  7. So pretty, Rachel. I love the offset of the "tag" panel. That's a really cool idea to stamp the inside in the same position. The bird is beautifully coloured.
