Birds of a feather....

Another card inspired by Emma Goddard https://www.coastalcrafter.com/

Rainbows cut from Snippets of card using oval dies,

Therefore it’s a chance to enter the Snippets Playground Challenge.

Paper was also snippets, as were the paper scraps used for the clouds :)

Birds stamped coloured with blends and fussy cut.

 

Sentiment stamped directly onto the paper, bow and rhinestones add finishing touch.

Do visit Emma’s blog, and the Snippets Playground for inspiration.

Painted Blooms

A friend kindly sent some 'bits to play with'

a while ago, and as I recently got some of this lovely DSP,

decided to try them out.

The butterfly had a heart shape in the middle,

so I used the Owl Builder Punch to punch a heart from the paper.

I cut a wavy line to follow the flower heads,

then discovered a sentiment from For The Birds fitted a treat!

I used a snippet of paper for the tag too,

so feel I should pop over to Pixie's Snippets Playground....

Stampin' Up! For The Birds

You may have noticed this is a fave stamp set!

I recently got the new triangular punch from Stampin' Up!,
and had the idea of hanging flags from the 'lines' of the stamp.

Firstly I had to extend the lines with a marker pen,
so that they disappear off the ends of the card.

I then layered the flags so the sentiment would still show!
I also created a shadow under the post box with a marker pen

I then decided to do a bit of decoupage.....

Some people say they don't know what to do with a stamp....
........you can do soooooo much!

If you are ever stuck for ideas just ask me!

I might just dash off to the Snippets Playground......
I've used LOADS of snippets on this one!

For the Bird-man

Trying to show the versatility of this stamp set

For The Birds,

see yesterdays post if you haven't already!

This time I used the Woodgrain embossing folder,

and some Sarn candy or faux brads.

Bird Bath

'For The Birds'

is a stamp set I'd liked  since the Stampin' Up! catalogue came out.

It is so versatile.

This one I coloured with marker pens,

layered onto embossed card, sponged with gold shimmer spray.

Stampin' Up! Shaker Frame

We had another Stampin' Up! Play Day,

and rather naughtily I didn't make swaps!

Instead, I did two m&t's,

and this is one of them.... 

There's a little yellow chick inside, sat on a nest, from

'For The Birds', with some chunky glitter.

Stampin' Up! have some circle shaker frame foam pads

that are just perfect for the job!

Stampin' Up! For The Birds

I got this Festive Flurries snowflake embossing folder after xmas....silly me...

but at least I can now use it to get ahead !

I also just got 'For The Birds' stamp set.

I'd been wanting it since the catalogue came out last summer!

So, of course I just had to try it out straight away!

This little skater is coloured with marker pens, 

here I cut another bird out and decoupaged him on top,

but only because I'd mucked up the one underneath!

and then I went and made a couple more!

So that's another four for my stash, thanks Sarn!

I'm putting these in the Rudolph Day Challenge,

so do go over and see everyone elses lovely projects!

Happy Post March

Here's the happy post I sent this month....

The cloudy paper is  from Stampin' Up!.

I die-cut a circle in it to frame my layer underneath.

'For The Birds' (SU also) provided the cute stamped image,

that I also stamped on paper scraps, cut out and laid over the top....

a form of 'paper piecing'....

Tied some ribbon around the paper, and added some gems.

"Thanks, friend"
