Let's Craft Together Photo Inspiration Challenge - Country Birdhouse Bundle Card

Welcome to the Let’s Craft Together blog hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia. Each month, one person sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month's challenge is photo inspiration challenge set by Michele Jutrisa.


I saw lots of browns and greys on this image and pinks and greens so I used Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Basic Beige and Basic White. When I did a google reverse image search as I wanted to see what was behind the watermark, I saw the smallest hint of blue in the image so I ran with the blue on my card (in case you are wondering where the Pool Party has come from in my card!

Stampin' Up! Basketball Pretty Pleats Birthday Card

This post has been sitting in my drafts for too long as one of my nephews is now 9 and the other one month off being 13!
I've made a couple of Basketball Pretty Pleats birthday cards for a two of my nephews. Both Levi and Middy love Golden State Warriors and while I couldn't make the basketball jersey look exactly like the Warriors jersey I tried to make it on theme with the colours and where the logo would go I used Alphabet la mode Dies for the boys ages. 

The basketball jersey die cuts were cut out on my electric die cut machine and I used the retired Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder to mimic the woodgrain of the basketball court or you could also use the Timber 3D Embossing Folder if you need a current product to reproduce the look. I also stamped Happy Birthday inside the card using something fancy stamp set and die cut it with the matching dies, Something Fancy Dies.
