Hello there, Michelle here and today I am sharing a card using the new Love Birds Stamp & Cut that was released as an add-on for the January My Monthly Hero kit. It is a lovely set that can be used for Valentine's Day but also cards throughout the year.
I started off by stamping the two birds and the branch on to white cardstock using Intense Black Ink. I coloured the images using Copic Markers and fussy cut them out with scissors. There are dies in the set but I wanted to intertwine the branch with their claws so I chose to fussy cut them. These were then set aside while I worked on the card base.
I took a panel of white cardstock (5.5" x 4") and placed two hearts from the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies on to the piece. I then ran this through my die cutting machine with an embossing mat. This gives a nice impression in to the cardstock, without adding extra layers and brings the eye to the area. The panel was added to an A2 black card base with tape runner. I then added the branch and birds on top with foam tape.
I took the sentiment from the set and stamped this with Versamark Ink on to a strip of black cardstock. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. The strip was then added to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I added crystal glaze to the bird's beaks.
Thanks so much for popping by today, happy stamping!
Embossing with dies is a nice way to get more use out of them. Looks great with these cute birds.
The card is adorable and the hearts behind the birds are really attractive…

Love it Michelle!!
What a lovelycard with these lovebirds!
Michelle,
This is such an elegant card, and I can’t believe how beautifully you fussy cut around 5e feet of these birds in particular! It really did make the card to do it the way you did. How interesting to have parakeets living in the wild like that, though I am sure they can be quite noisy! This looks like a wonderful set to have for year round card making, thank you for he inspiration!
That’s a lovely card !
Oh my gosh!!! I absolutely love this sweet, adorable, perfect card. Did you want my address?! lol
The embossed hearts add quite a punch to this card. Looks fabulous as a background!
I love these birds and this set is on my wish list. I’m interested in trying embossing with my dies. Thanks for sharing this creative technique. Beautiful card.
Wonderful look – quite the elegant card!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
