Today I am excited to share a video with instructions for how to brayer on the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards with Stampin’ UP! ink!!
Sponge Brayered Bird Ballad Laser Cut Card Video below! Don’t miss it!
In the video at the bottom of this post, you’ll learn how to brayer the front of the Bird Ballad Laser-cut card and have a bonus card front to make a 2nd card! Above you can see where I’ve brayered Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pretty Peacock ink onto the Laser-cut card then I have the Whisper White (above) piece or the Very Vanilla piece (below) to use on a 2nd card!
The Laser-cut card above was designed by Kurstan and I made it at a recent All Day Stampin’ Retreat. I decided to tuck the extra piece of cardstock into the laser cut card so that I’d have an extra piece for another card. The cards above feature the Beautiful Friendship stamp set (pg 123, #149251) and the same 3 colors of ink mentioned above. Note how well the reversible Old Olive/Pretty Peacock ribbon goes with this palette!
I also tried this technique with “Patty Colors” … Grapefruit Grove, Calypso Coral and Terracotta Tile. The Wild Rose flowers, colored with Pigment Sprinkles (see THIS POST) were added to these cards.
Use your Sponge Brayer to pick up ink and apply to the Laser-cut card. With an extra piece of cardstock tucked inside the laser-cut card, you end up with an EXTRA card front to use on another project!
The color combo possibilities are pretty endless… what colors of ink will you try with this fun sponge brayer technique?
Bird Ballad Laser-cut card tin, pg 168, #149595, includes 12 laser-cut cards, 12 envelopes and this reusable tin, which is gorgeous!
I am so in love with this amazing Pop Up Bird Ballad card that magically folds flat for mailing!!! I have a VIDEO TUTORIAL for you below in this post with all the details, and a downloadable file with all the cutting and scoring dimensions. Thanks to Kelly Acheson for the idea!
I used the Bird Ballad designer paper from Stampin’ UP! and Pool Party and Daffodil Delight cardstock for a fabulous pop of color. I used the new Rococo Rose ribbon to highlight the color of the bird that I fussy cut from the Bird Ballad designer paper.

Have you tried this amazing Floating Frame Press’n Seal technique for cardmaking? Cindee and I created these cards with the Stampin’ UP! Mosaic Mood designer paper and the Press’n Seal technique!!
We fussy cut the yellow rose images, butterflies and the hummingbirds from the Mosaic Mood paper, then used those for our 2 Floating Frame cards. Check out the directions and video tutorial links below in this post for all the details on this technique.
How to Make the Press’n Seal Floating Frame Card:
Stamp and die cut, or, fussy cut images to use on your card. Lay them out on the card front.
Apply a piece of Press’n Seal to the pieces, press down, and be sure the Press’n Seal is holding all images in place
Flip over and use paper snips to trim away all excess
Check the design on the front, making sure everything is where you want it
Use a die shape of your choice to cut out part of your card front (I’ve used a Stitched Square die as shown in #5 above)
Peel up the Press’n Seal, with the pieces attached
Flip the piece over and adhere LOTS of dimensionals to the cut out pieces
Flip back over and adhere to card
Floating Frame Press’n Seal Video Link:
Watch Bruno’s video HERE for more info on how to make the Press’n Seal card.
As you can see above and below, the Press’n Seal card technique makes 2 cards.. one with the center die cut piece (below) and one with the left over Floating Frame piece (above). I added the additional butterfly above just to fill in that extra space. I kept that card simple, just matted on a Thick Whisper White card base.
Below, I matted the die cut square onto a larger white square, then onto a 4×4 piece of Mosaic Mood designer paper, then onto a 4-1/4″ square Mint Macaron card base.
Both of the greetings on my Mosaic Mood cards are from the Bloom & Grow stamp set, stamped in Early Espresso ink.
Do you love them!? I do!! Let me know if you try this fun technique!
You are going to love this fun fold card idea that allows you to feature both sides of the 12×12 Stampin’ Up! Designer paper!!!

I added a 3×3 square of Gingham Gala designer paper to each of the cards. They are matted with the coordinating color of cardstock. I decorated the front of each card with some hand cut or punched out butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly paper pack. I also embellished with the gorgeous Glitter Enamel dots on each card.
Happy Birthday Friend card above features a die cut from the Well Written framelits and stamped image from the Beautiful Bouquet set.
The Daffodil Delight butterfly card below features a Sweet Pins & Tags iridescent white tag with a fussy cut butterfly on top.
Thank you Jo Anne for the inspiration on these cards.. I hope you like my take on your fun project!
