Hi Everyone,
I *had* to pop into the KaiserCraft warehouse last week because…well, I was in the area. lol Whilst there I picked up the Fly Free stamp set as I had an idea for using the birds in the set. I thought the butterflies would be fun to use too. Skip to today, and I haven’t used the birds or the butterflies but I have used the flower which also came in the set. I stamped it out just to see what it was like. I scribbled some colour onto it and I *loved* how it looked. Next thing you know I have four cards to share – all have started with the same base but they are all finished differently. I *love* stamps! Just think how many different cards you can make using this stamp. I haven’t even ventured into using different colours (colouring mediums, techniques, papers, cardstock, etc) on the flowers so the possibilities for this stamp set seem endless.
Here are the cards…

Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Decorative Paper – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Rhinestones (KaiserCraft); Copic Markers, Ribbon – Black (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.
Card two is my favourite…

Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Decorative Paper – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Rhinestones (KaiserCraft); Copic Markers, Washi Tape (Unknown) and Wink of Stella.
With card three, I had the idea of adding ribbon across the panel but I didn’t have the perfect match. Went looking through the stash and found some older Mrs Grossman Design Lines stickers – perfect!

Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Decorative Paper – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Pearls (KaiserCraft); Stickers – Soft Shades Design Lines (Mrs Grossmans), Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.
For card four, I had thought a banner in black with a white sentiment might look good. Decided to keep the rest of the card very simple.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy seeing my cards! I’m off to try and make a card using one of the birds in the Fly Free stamp set! Hope you all have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
(P.S. I’m sorry the photographs are a little blown out. I usually create at night after work so I have trouble with lighting and the photographs look dark. Today, since I had daylight at my disposal, I took the photographs outside but I think the white blew out the colours. Sorry!)

KYLIE! What a gorgeous set of cards you’ve made from this single floral image! Stunning, especially with the pink/white background panels. These would make a fabulous gift set! I’m not sure which I like best, although the one with the black/white striped border is quite the looker! The entire set sure offers wonderful possibilities; the butterflies, of course, captured my heart. As for the birds, they, too, are pretty but…given that I’m scared of birds (except cutie-pie ones like Technique Tuesday’s chickadees or Paper Smooches), I wouldn’t use them. You, I know, will breathe life into them in some special, fantastic way! Heading back to gaze and admire these pink lovelies a bit longer…

What a lovely and feminine set of cards! I love how the coloring turned out on the flowers, too. They seem so versatile, too – birthday, congrats, even condolences. I love when stamps are like that. 🙂
