I have a new home card to share with you using the Flying Home stamp set from Stampin’ Up!
When I saw this cute bird and babies in a nest I thought of ‘flying the nest’ so I felt it lends itself to a new home card.
I used the greetings from the Home Life stamp set which were perfect.
Here is how I made the card
- Stamp the bird and nest onto whisper white in Black Memento Ink.
- Colour the image with Stampin’ Blends (not shown in the photo below).
- Punch out a circle using the 2″ circle punch and with the relief I framed the image but left some of the stamp overhanging the outside of the circle and drew a pencil line.
- Cut around the over hanging parts of the image with scissors.
- Position the image into the punch and made sure to have the overhang inside the base of the punch so it was not cut off.
- Simply rub out the pencil line and mount onto a scallop circle from the layering circle framelits and a large smoky slate circle.
The cloud background was created with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks and Smoky Slate and Soft Sky Ink and a sponge.
The greeting from the Home Life stamp set was stamped on Basic Grey ink and I used my new stamparatus to position the greeting perfectly! It is amazing, I cannot wait for you to get your hands on one!
I think I am addicted to the Stampin’ Blends, they give such an intense pop of colour.

This is awesome. Thanks for the little tutorial on how you got the punched image around the branch. I always forget that technique and it adds so much.
Such a lovely card Michelle!!!
