1 Aug

Free As A Bird Christmas Robin. I know, Christmas is months away and we are in the middle of summer in the UK! BUT, for Demonstrators, today is the start of Autumn and Winter because we can place our first orders for items from the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue. For customers the catalogue will launch on 4th September. If you want to get your hands on these amazing items NOW, then all you need to do is join my Team. You can even add Autumn/Winter Product to your Starter Kit!! Just drop me a line to find out how (UK, France, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands only). And of course, with the Extra, Extra Joining Offer, this would be the perfect time to join.

But more of that later. Back to my card. It is another ‘not difficult, but a bit fiddly’ card. the robin is simply one of the cluster of birds on the branch in the Free As A Bird Stamp Set. I simply stamped him on a die cut square in Tuxedo Black and then coloured him with blends. I used the same stamp to add some texture to the white mat, simply by stamping in Versamark and using White Embossing Powder. You can see it close up in the next image.

The frames are just die cut using the Layered Squares dies, the smallest of which was used to die cut the white for the Robin and the Designer Series Paper. This came from the Free as a Bird Designer Series Paper. I love this paper, which is why I have used it for my first Creativity in a Box. This is a great way for getting full tutorial and products to make projects I have designed, this time is a Mini Album, and it is really cute. Take a look HERE.

I die cut ‘Christmas’ from Whisper White card using the Word Wishes Dies. If you get the Dies with the matching Stamp Set, A Wish for Everything, you save 10%, which is always good! Layering up all the pieces and adding some Silver Thread is the ‘fiddly’ part of the card, but it is certainly not difficult.

I am being realistic and we have reset my Personal Bests for during this time in my life. But each week back at the gym is increasing those Personal Bests, which is great for the ego. It's all about being realistic.
