Hello there,
Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the new Just Wanted to Say Collection. This a fantastic collection that is perfect for all occasions. As you will see from my projects, I fell in love with the sweet birds in the collection!
They are so versatile and a lot of fun to put together – you can add all of the layers or not, and think of the different color combinations you can use!
JUST WANTED TO SAY HI
I started off by die-cutting
Stitched Hi from
Snowdrift Cardstock twice and adhered them together for stability. I stitched the flowers using blue thread from
Color Essentials Cool DMC Floss Bundle. The letters were adhered to the shadow, cut from
Chamomile Cardstock, using thin foam tape.
I die cut
Little Chickadee from
Snowdrift,
Graphite,
Glacier,
Raindrop,
Cosmic Sky and
Chamomile Cardstock. The pieces were assembled and adhered with
Bearly Art Glue and a black pearl was added for his eye. I then ran a piece of cardstock through the
Platinum 6 with
Diamond Plaid Embossing Folder and adhered it to an A2 white card base.
The ‘hi’ was added on top, followed by the bird with
foam squares. The sentiment from
Just Wanted to Say Glimmer was foiled onto
Cosmic Sky Cardstock with
Silver Foil, cut into a strip, and added to the card. To finish off, I added
Silver Mix Color Essential Gems.
CONGRATULATIONS TAG
This collection is also perfect for tags, so I thought I would create a little congratulations tag that can be used for lots of different occasions – new home, new baby etc. I die cut
Little Chickadee again, this time from
Snowdrift,
Purple Mist,
Lilac Blossom,
Royal Amethyst, and
Beeswax Cardstock. I added a black pearl for his eye.
I decided to keep the feet off this one and have him perch on the sentiment, which is from
Just Wanted to Say Sentiments. It was stamped onto
Onyx Cardstock with
Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied
White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip. I die-cut
Leafy Sprig from
Peridot and
Rainforest Cardstock and adhered them together.
I die cut the tag from
Create a Decorative Tag and adhered Leafy Sprig first with
Bearly Art Glue. The sentiment was adhered with thin foam tape and the bird adhered on top with
foam squares. To finish off, I added
Journey Twine Black through the top and tied in a bow and to embellish,
Prism AB Color Essential Gems.
THANKS WREATH
My last card today uses the
Wreath Builder Dies. These can be used in lots of different ways. I cut the sprigs shorter so that I could have a small wreath, but you could make much larger ones if you wanted.
The sprigs were die cut first from
Peridot and
Rainforest Cardstock. I die-cut the flowers from
Beeswax and
Persimmon Cardstock. The flower centers were cut from
Chamomile and
Beeswax. They were layered up first and then arranged into a wreath onto an A2 white card base using
Bearly Art Glue.

Sweet Birdie was die cut from
Snowdrift,
Graphite,
Pink Sand,
Dahlia,
Wild Berry, and
Beeswax Cardstock. The pieces were adhered together with
Bearly Art Glue and a black pearl was added for her eye. She was adhered to the wreath with
Foam Squares. The sentiment, from
Just Wanted to Say Glimmer, was foiled onto white cardstock with
Champagne Foil. It was cut into a strip and added to the card with more
foam squares. To finish off, I added
Gold Mix Color Essential Gems.
