There’s only one more week of Sale-A-Bration, where you can earn FREE stamp sets. If you like birds, you won’t want to miss out on getting this free set, A Touch Of Ink, with this fabulous hummingbird.
Hummingbird & Gold Hoop
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
I stamped the hummingbird, and the flowers, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I colored them with Stampin’ Blends in six colors: Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, and Daffodil Delight.
Next, I fussy cut the hummingbird, and used a Layering Circles Die to cut the flowers. The one that’s approximately 2″ is just the right size to glue a Gold Hoop Embellishment to it. After adhering, I attached the bird and flowers to the card front with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “Thank you so much,” was stamped in Memento Black Ink, cut with a Layering Circles Die, and glued to a scalloped circle of Gold Foil to coordinate with the Gold Hoop. I glued this to the card front, a spec beneath the Gold Hoop.
Clear Epoxy Droplets were the final touch for my Sale-A-Bration thank you card.
I was inspired by TGIF.

Gorgeous card Su. I love how you used the hoop to create a spotlight. Thanks for playing along with TGIF Challenges this week
Such a beautiful card! I love the way you used the Gold Ring embellishment. Lovely colors.
Su, this is one of a few Touch of Ink cards that I think is gorgeous! I’m not too thrilled with the overlay stamp that doesn’t fit inside the hummer and butterfly. I’m concerned that the receivers of my cards wonder if I made a mistake. Guess I’m old school!
Thank you, Rita! I understand, because I tend to be overly neat. I like the artistic flair that those stamps give, and I’m sure your recipients will love your cards.
This is one of my favorites, as I live in Colorado and have
many, many hummingbirds in the summer.
I love watching them and sometimes they just fly
around my head. I think they are thanking me for the food.
Thank you for sharing your card design and creativity
That’s a wonderful story, Mary Katherine! Thank you for telling me!
Love, love it!
SU, I have said this before, but I could pick your cards out from a group. You are so creative and have such a great style. I pin your cards more than anyone else I follow. Thank you, thank you for always sharing!
That’s such a nice compliment, Kathy! Thank you! I’m happy to share!
Su, this is a stunning card and your coloring is awesome. I love every element of it. I feel a CASE coming soon. Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Hilda! I love your sweet comments. You enjoy your day also!
