Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing the second card i made for my sister in laws birthday, very colourful and funky with these fab Katzelkraft bird stamps. Ive done a fold back card.
DL in size(approx 4x8"). Out of A3 card i made a DL landscape card with the fold on the short edge. I then used a scalloped edge die to cut the ends - just to add a bit of fun to the card. I then folded the front of the card in half back on itself as shown. Using my stamp platform i stamped a bird in the centre of the card - 1st on the folded back front and then keeping the stamp in the same place on the platform on the back panel, so that these 2 line up - hope that makes sense!
I then stamped a different bird again once on the front panel and then in the same place on the back panel and a 3rd different bird on the right of both the back panel and the front panel - (photos below show this better) Essentially i have the 3 birds in exactly the same place on the front & back panels.
I doodled in some ground and added detail with small stamps and stencils to the background. I coloured the legs and feathers of the birds and added some colour to the ground.
I then stamped the birds again on white card and water coloured with oxide inks, i then cut them out - only leaving the legs on the middle bird that over laps the front the rest i cut the legs off. I gently curved them and attached with glue gel lining up with the legs on the card base.
I then stamped 2 sentiments onto coloured paper, cut to exactly the same size, i then attached one to the back panel and then lined up the second one and attached to the front panel so that when the card i closed the front one completely hides the 2nd one.
Showing it stood up - half of the middle bird on the front overlaps the edge. Of course i had to add glossy accents to their eyes and a few touches of glitter glue.
Showing it open out.
Items Used:
Katzelkraft bird ' les zoisos' & words stamps
Lavinia mini stamps - orb & toadstool
Stampin up - curly cute sentiment stamp
MFT scalloped edge die
Stencils
Oxide inks - pistachio, candied apple, peacock, lemonade, citron, amber, evergreen. lagoon
A3 craftUK ltd smooth white card
For family birthdays i always make 2 cards, one from me and one from my parents, I try to make them completely different to each other and when making them i kind of have an idea of which one for mum and which for me but i always give my mum the choice - 9/10 she picks the one i made for her - mind you if dads around and she asks him he usually picks the one i had in mind for me😁
Thank you all for stopping by once again. I hope you all have a good week. Stay safe and carry on crafting. Hugs Emmax

This is absolutely wonderful and definitely my type of card. But how have I missed those stamps? I have most of the silly animal stamps Katzelcraft do but don't have these...now see what you've caused, lol! Stunning creation. You so deserved to win the AS prize!
