Cheer Corner “Roodborstje”

Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Today I am sharing a lovely “Roodborstje” (which is a European robin) card with you that I made for my Cheer Corner last week. There are two things that I think make this card super special. The first is the detail on the birch trees that have been added with a blender pen and a black watercolour pencil. Secondly, the European robin or “roodborstje” has been coloured with watercolour pencils and Blends! Watch my video for the trick to make it easier to blend your colours together!!

Where is the greenery from??

The European robin, or roodborstje, looks quite natural perched in all this greenery. You may have various greenery already to choose from in your existing stash of stamps and dies, but this is what I used. You can thank me that all of the dies and the stamps for the greenery come from ONE bundle, Joy of Noel. It’s a fantastic bundle. You might want to add it to your order on Wednesday when you take advantage of the seasonal sale saving 10-20% on inks, paper, cardstock and ribbon from the annual catalog. This stamp set isn’t on sale, but you may as well add something fun to all the essentials that you will be ordering at a discount. Remember, if your order gets to $200, you also get host benefits even if it is only you ordering. What fun!!

The benefits of bundles

When you order the Joy of Noel bundle you will save 10%. That is because it is a current bundle in the holiday catalog. Perched in a Tree, the stamp set that the roodborstje or European robin comes from was bundled last year with the Aspen dies. It got carried over to the annual catalog and now it is no longer a bundle. No more ten percent discount. That is why I always encourage my customers and team members to buy the bundles when they are first offered as such.

Thanks!

Double Easel Fold Card

Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I am sharing quite an incredible card with you. It’s called a double easel fold card, but my favourite part is the way the beautiful Aspen dies cut out creates the perfect backdrop for the pretty bird. This was NOT my original idea, it was cased from Jo Blackman. You can see her card here.

Double Easel Fold Card

Here is a photo of the card that I made. Soft Seedlings was the stamp set that Jo used for her leaves, but this set is now retired, so I used the Autumn Leaves bundle from the holiday mini. If you are Canadian you can simply click on the links below in the product list to order them for yourself!

Here you can see the side view. I added coins (10 cent euro coins) to add weight to the bottom of each fold so no mechanism is needed inside to keep the lovely fold.

Video Tutorial

You will find it most helpful to take a quick peek at my video so you can get the measurements and see how the card is put together. There are some great colouring tips for colouring with watercolor pencils as well. Take this opportunity to subscribe to my YouTube channel as well so you don’t miss out on any future videos.

Perfect for Christmas

Perched in a Tree as well as the Aspen dies would be truly lovely for your Christmas cards this year. Did you know that you can also alter the die to make it even more versatile? Check out this blog post to see what I did with it.

I am excited to play with these products a little more and create some stunning Christmas cards with it too. This set is so versatile since it can be used for many different seasons and occasions. Thanks for joining me today, have a super day!!
