Hello Creative Friends,
I guess I’m on a bird theme.  Last post was quails and before that was my birdhouse so today I’m sharing a robin card.  It’s made from the Spring Song stamp set, which is another set from the catalog which you can earn through Sale-a-bration.  I allowed my daughter (the 12 year old) to choose the free stamp with one of my orders and this is the one she picked out.  It has a hummingbird in the set too.  You can see the 3 piece set here.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils to fill in my bird.  The scallops behind him are from the Pennant Die for the Big Shot.  I used the Backgrounds 1 Textuz Plates to emboss the card stock.

Supplies Used:
Spring Song Stamp Set
Close to Coca Ink
Chocolate Chip Card Stock
Sage Shadow Card Stock
Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate (for the Big Shot)
Pennant Die ((for the Big Shot)
Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon
5/8’s Jumbo Brads
Corner Rounder Punch

Enjoy your creative day!

Hello Creative Friends,
My kids and I have been putting together a puzzle with songbirds across a fence.  It’s one of those panoramic puzzles (over 3 feet wide).  I work on it putting a few pieces together at a time when I need a coffee break. 

Anyway, when I got my new Happy Together stamp set,  I decided to put my birds on a fence.   That stamp set is in the regular catalog but it’s one that you can earn during the current Sale-a-bration Promotion.

Everytime I work on that puzzle or even think of birds  those verses in Matthew always come to mind.  Don’t you love how much God cares for us?

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.    But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.  Matthew 10:29-31

I stamped the birds onto the White Naturals Card Stock and then filled them in with the Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils.  The fence is made with the Word Window Punch.

Supplies Used:
Happy Together Stamp Set
Bashful Blue Card Stock
Chocolate Chip Card Stock
Naturals (White) Card Stock
Creamy Caramel Card Stock
Old Olive Ink
Close to Cocoa Ink
Creamy Caramel Ink (Sponging fence edges)
Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon
Deisinger Buttons (Playground)
Linen Thread
Watercolor Pencils
Word Window Punch

Hello Creative Friends,
Today I’m sharing a birdhouse that I made with the Mini Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot that’s in the Mini Catalog.  I made two, cut slits down the corners of the top of one and folded the flaps in (to match the bottom of the carton) so that I could use it for the base to adhere my other milk carton on top of. You have to be sure to punch your holes for your birdhouse before you assemble the die cuts.  I know from experience that it’s easy to forget:)

I embellished with the 2 Step Bird Punch and one of the butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies Die and the Little Leaves Sizzlit for the Big Shot.  I tied some twine around the middle which I tied on the side and placed in some Spanish Moss.

Supplies Used:
Kraft Card Stock
Naturals (White) Card Stock
Brilliant Blue Card Stock
Pumpkin Pie Card Stock
Old Olive Card Stock
Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper (bird wing)
Sahara Sand Ink (Sponging)
2 Step Bird Punch
Black Ink Marker (Bird eye)
Twine (Natural)
Mini Milk Carton Die
Little Leaves Sizzlit
Beautiful Butterflies Die
Perfect Details Texturz Plates (for butterfly)
1 1/4 Inch Circle Punch
Scallop Edge Punch

Enjoy your creative day!
