Bird on a Wire, Stampin' Up! Style. 2 Versions.

I love finding new ways to use old favourites. I originally made many traditional cards using the bird builder punch, then decided I wanted something modern with a silhouette feel. I bent the Bordering Blooms Photopolymer stamp (it's easy to bend these into different shapes when placing them on your acrylic block)   and used a sentiment from the Tin of Cards stamp set. I cut 2.5cm off the bottom of the card to minimise the negative space, then rounded the bottom corners. Daffodil Delight and Basic black work well together, don't you think?

This card was even simpler, I used melon mambo card and rounded the bottom corners, and used the stamp from Age Awareness . I drew a curved line using the brush tip of a Basic Black marker to sit the little bird on.

6 Cards Nature Set with a Belly Band

Stampin' Up! Australia.

Start with a whisper white card base 14cm x 19.5cm, and fold in half. Using the Magnificent Maple #131868, stamp images in Summer Starfruit, Elegant Eggplant and Cajun Craze. 

On a scrap piece of whisper white card stock, stamp sentiments from the Petite Pairs stamp set in Cajun Craze, then punch out using the oval punch. 

Layer onto Elegant Eggplant card stock punched out with the scalloped oval punch. 

Adhere to the centre of each card using dimensionals (I used different sentiments to make these cards all ocassion ).

Team with the medium envelopes in crumb cake, then using a strip of Whisper white card stock measuring 6.5cm x 30cm, stamp the leaf image again and wrap around the stack of cards and secure with Sticky Strip. 

These cards make a thoughtful gift.

These were the cards we put together in our Stamp-A-Stack Class. I have to admit, this is my favourite all-time stamp set and punch combo.
The colours for the cardstock were Daffodil delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Gumball Green and Real Red, all stamped onto Whisper White. We stamped the envelopes as well.
Additional punches: Bird builder and Blossom builder for the leaves. The sentiments are from Word Play: a retiring stamp set. Get it while you can! Visit my online store to view the full retirement list.
