Christi's Creative Crew: Handmade & Heartfelt

FEATHERED FUN was one of those stamp sets that I for sure wanted to get right away when the annual catalog came out last May, and it has sat on my shelf and not gotten much use. How sad.

But when I saw this slim line card by Stacey Marsh (who is/was on the 2025 Artisan Design Team) I knew that I wanted to make this card up for my friend, Jackie, who has a cockatoo named Squiggy. She will love all these cute little birdies on her birthday card this year.

A slim line card generally measures 8-1/2" x 7" scored at 3-1/2"

Stacey doesn't give any instructions so I used the little branches from LIFETIME OF LOVE (in Pecan Pie) and the leaves from LAYERS OF BEAUTY in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.

The colors of Stampin' Blends that I used are: Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Timid Tiger & Highland Heather.

For the sentiment I pulled out the HANDMADE & HEARTFELT stamp set that came with a kit. (and is still available)

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)

I LOVE THESE DIES ESPECIALLY, AND THOSE CORNER DIES ARE SO PERFECT FOR CARD MAKING AND SCRAPBOOKING

Here are 4 cards made with the same layout using the BEAUTIFUL GALLERY Designer Paper, with a fun flip flap greeting.

I chose to use the HANDMADE & HEARTFELT 'Happy Birthday' stamp for all of the cards to keep them uniform, but my Tuesday stampers are allowed to change up the sentiment for whatever they need.

I do not know who was the inspiration was for these cards and I had no instructions so here are the measurements that I came up with for the cards that I made:

Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4" then cut 1-1/4" off from one side.

On the 1-1/4" piece that you cut off, you will cut off 1" and then score at 1" for the hinge. You will tuck this hinge under the inside Basic White.

Use the DAMASK Embossing Folder (or the folder of your choice) to emboss the front part of your base

Layers: 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" Designer Paper: 4-1/2" x 3-1/4"

Basic White for the inside: 4" x 5-1/4" and 1" x 31/4" for the sentiment

Basic Beige ribbon
