Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Spring Time & Flowers’ and I am sharing a sweet card made for a recent team challenge where our theme was ‘Spring Is In The Air’. I chose to use the lovely Free as a Bird stamp set to make my card.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the Spring is in the Air card, you will need:
Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake layer – 5½” by 3¾”
Old Olive layer – 4” by 2½”
Very Vanilla layer – 3⅝” by 2¾”
Very Vanilla layer – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
I embossed the Crumb Cake layer using the Painted Textures Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I wrapped a piece of Ornate Garden ribbon around the embossed panel and adhered on the reverse with Sellotape. It was added to the Crumb Cake card base using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The birds from the Free As a Bird stamp set were stamped on the Very Vanilla panel using Early Espresso ink.

They were coloured in using the following Blends Markers – So Saffron, Rococo Rose, Soft Sea Foam & Crumb Cake. The stamped panel was adhered to the Old Olive layer with the liquid glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I used the Rococo Rose Blends Markers, I coloured in a trio of Basic Pearls and added them to the card front. I finished with a bow.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped on a scrap of Very Vanilla in Early Espresso ink and trimmed out using scissors. It was tucked under the stamped piece.
So pretty and I hope very Spring like.
