TWEET Cards

It's Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK and the weather has been a bit weird. This morning it was sunny, then windy and rainy...we got some hailstones. Now the sun is back out again. LOL It was a good excuse to get into my craft room and make a few cards. I printed off my Tweet digital stamps and made a couple of cards. I will post other cards I made with other printables tomorrow. I'm also working on a fold out book but I wanted to seal it so I waited to get some Mod Podge which I bought this weekend along with a bunch of other stuff from The Range's craft department. I'll finish that up this week. Here are my Tweet cards:

This first card started with an A5 green card base. I printed out two papers from my A Birdie Told ME digital scrap kit on 160 gsm card. One paper is purple with the tweet birdies on it and the other is a bright green stripe. I coloured my bird in with my Copics. I also added the TWEET word art to a tab tag from the same digital scrap kit. I did this in Photoshop. I assembled it with layers of yellow and green cardstock which I ran through my Cuttlebug using the diamond pattern embossing folder. Last but not least were some yellow gemstones and rounded corners.


This next card started with an A5 yellow card base. I opened the TWEET word art digital stamp in Photoshop and added more text to it so it would fit into a 2" circle. The pink striped paper and the line of birds are both from my A Birdie Told Me digital scrap kitI printed those out on white card. I cut out the circle stamp and birds and layered them on yellow card then I inked the edges. I used my Purple Cow cutter witha scalloped blade and trimmed the paper bottom edge off so there was two pieces and I glued them on the card leaving a space between them. The birdies and sentiment and on foam pads. I was going to add a bow and straight ribbon but I didn't have enough of this remnant so I just knotted the ends...it looks pretty nice so it was a good idea...lol.


Thanks so much for looking at my cards!
