Hummingbird Shaped Card: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend and are rested and ready for another great week! If you’re anything like me, you’ll literally say “Ooooooh” when you look at this gorgeous shaped card by Caly Person! For more information, be sure to watch the video, and enjoy!
Hello! If you love shaped cards, you’ll love Bibi Cameron’s Hummingbird Creator dies. This large hummingbird fits on a 5” x 7” card panel, or can be standalone for a beautifully shaped card, which I am sharing today!
Hummingbirds are my favorite and today, I sought out inspiration for a colorful card using an image I found online.
Be sure to check out the video to see how I ink-blended mostly white cardstock to get a colorful hummingbird to imitate the inspiration photo.
WATCH THE VIDEO:
There are beautiful floral dies that come with the Hummingbird Creator dies, but I only create the hummingbird. I felt the flowers would be better suited for a full card panel. I die-cut the hummingbird base twice and scored one of the bases at ½” to adhere the colorful piece to make it a shaped-card.
I also used some colored cardstock that I ink-blended as well to piece the hummingbird together. It helps create more depth and dimension to the hummingbird, not to mention sturdiness with the added cardstock layers.
To finish, I stamped the sentiment onto the hummingbird’s belly using the Hummingbird Sentiments set. I had to partially stamp the sentiment to get it to fit, but it works out great! I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly
