Jumbo Cardinals with Core’dinations by Lisa Hindsley
Here’s Lisa’s Supply List:
CRS5038 Jumbo Cardinals, Core’dinations TH card stock, Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel, VersaMark Watermark Ink, StazOn Timber Brown Ink, Colored Pencils and Sand Paper.
Lisa started by sanding the card stock for a rustic look and stamped the image with Timber Brown Ink. The key was to use the color of the card stock to match each bird, so she used the red paper for the male cardinal and the Coconut Cream for the female. She stamped two images (one in each color), then tore the paper and pieced it together to show off the rustic look of the torn edges. Of course it wouldn’t be Stampendous if we didn’t Fran•táge a little bit, so she also added a bit of the Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel as a dusting of snow for these lovely winter birds. She also used our Scrolled Seasons stamp to finish off the inside, and had a lot of fun tearing paper and creating a flurry of snow with a small round brush (no adhesive was used to make the swirl), and heating the whole thing from underneath.

Fabulous card! I love the look of both birds together! Thanks for sharing!
I love love love the card and the cardinals stamp! Unfortunately, I can’t find a store or web site that has the stamp! Living in NC where the cardinal is our state bird, it would be nice to send Christmas cards to our family and friends who live in different parts of the country using this stamp.
Thanks for such a creative card!
Thanks, Kathy- it should be available on our website. Just click on the name of the stamp in the supply list above, and it should take you to the stamp on the Stampendous website.
Very pretty–I like the rustic look.
Love the card.

I love the look of this card, the cardinals are beautiful.
really like this card. the texture on the front of the card and of course such a nice touch inside with the snow feel makes the card so heart warming seasonal…

I am so loving all the great projects for the hop! The combination of stamping and Coredinations paper is awesome! Love the cardinal card!
Love how the birds feathers stick up off the top of the card!
This is such a beautiful card. It is so creative in the way it is stamped and put together! The stamp is beautiful and I love the use of the Core’dinations paper this way!
Love layers with torn edges and you did a really great job. TFS
So pretty! The cardinal is one of my fav birds. Thans for the chance to win.
Very cool how you stamped those cardinals and they look beautiful with the torn Core. The second card really makes me feel like it is snowing and blowing outside. Both are beautiful!
That card is a work of art! Just beautiful!
Gorgeous card by Lisa Hensley. I love the inside as much as the front. Those cardinals are lovely and again, I love that ivory embossing powder! LOL
Love that ‘dusting of snow’, I’m going to have to try that technique…like all the torn edges.
Barb, be sure to show us what you make when you try it!
Fabulous cardinals! Definitely a gorgeous bird and so beautiful in winter in contrast to the snow and green pine trees.
Lovely cards! Love that snow flurry look!

Gorgeous card Lisa!! love the colors and the torn edges
Wow, this an unbelievably wonderful card!!! Please, please, please share a tutorial on exactly how the small round brush was used to create what you’re calling the “snow flurry”. The “no adhesive” part has me puzzled.
I have not seen any of your Christmas Jumbo cling stamps in any of my local stores yet and 3 of the stores do carry some Stampendous stamps and have had some of the other Jumbo cling stamps. I know I read that you are having trouble keeping the Jumbo Cling Poinsettia in stock due to it’s popularity, but I’m really surprised that I haven’t seen at least some of your new Christmas (and other seasonal) stamps in the stores yet. Archiver’s has been displaying Christmas cards for weeks now, but they don’t even seem to have any of your new seasonal stamps. Last year I bought some of your newest Halloween stamps at Archiver’s and Joann’s as well, but this year none were to be found so far. And it’s looking like your Christmas stamps will be scarce to non-existent in my local stores as well. If your stamp manufacturer can’t keep up with the demand maybe you need a new manufacturer!
Thanks for asking CC… This year JoAnn’s did not take any new images for Halloween or Christmas, so that explains that. Michael’s has taken several, including several of the Jumbo Cling stamps, but they are not setting their Christmas display until November this year. A new thing they are trying. So keep looking there for the images. The selection in these large chains will vary as they have several “sizes” of stores, and some will have all the products they chose, while others will have fewer choices. The best solution is to ask for our products in stores where you’d like to see them. When our customers let these stores know they’d like to see our new images, the stores listen. Thanks so much for your support of Stampendous! Most of our Christmas Jumbos will be returning next year, as well, due to their popularity.
The “no adhesive” part is easy. Hold your card flat, Sprinkle Embossing Enamel across part of your card, use a dry paintbrush to nudge the powder into swirls as shown, then heat from beneath with your heat tool to avoid blowing powder off the paper. Super simple, but super dynamic.
Thank you so much for replying to both parts of my comment!!! I will definitely try this embssing powder technique and also speak up in my local stores for more Stampendous stamps. I’m so happy to hear that the new Christmas Jumbo clings will still be available next year. I’m hoping to collect many of these new ones so that will give me time!
Love your cardinal card! Enjoyed this weeks pairing with Coredinations and all the new inspirations!
