Spring Is Here with the Birds Singing

I love spring because of the flowers blooming and the birds singing.  So this cheery bird is singing to the receiver.  The message could be Happy Birthday, Thinking of You or Get Well. Also, think about it as a Mother’s Day card. My mother loved her birds. The bird came from Best Birds which is not retiring. Best of all this stamp comes with a coordinating thinlit dies which make it super easy to create the bird.  It is just a matter of coloring the bird.

Challenge: This is a challenge for Freshly Made Sketches. The theme appears to be a shape on the card. So I chose the Layering Circles for the bird to be placed on. Freshly Made Sketches http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2017/04/freshly-made-sketches-285-sketch-by-amy.html

Tips and Tricks

Color:  I like using brown with the Flirty Flamingo and tieing it together with the Flirty Flamingo paper.

Stamp Set:  The eyes are the bird and everything you need is in this set.

  • Best Bird

Best Birds Photopolymer Bundle

Ink:  Of course, I used my favorite brown ink…Soft Suede.  To me, Chocolate Chip is just a little too dark.

  • Soft Suede
  • Flirty Flamingo

Paper:  Once you chose the colors of your bird, it is just a matter of tieing it together. I didn’t want to overdue it with Flirty Flamingo, so I went with Pool Party because it reminds me Robin’s egg.  I thought the circle needed more of a stand out because Pool Party is so light in color.  So I used Mint Macaron to make it pop.

  • Flirty Flaming
  • Whisper White
  • Pool Party
  • Mint Macaron (retiring)

Embellishment:  Flowers always need something in the center.

  • Pearls

Accessories:  

  • Layering Circles
  • Big Shot
  • Birds and Blooms Thinlits
  • Trimmer
  • Blender Pens

Using Scraps

Stampin’ Up! Birthday card made with Suite Sayings stamp set and designed by Demo Pamela Sadler. See more cards at stampinkrose.com #stampinkpinkrose #etsycardstrulyheart

 

How many of you have scraps of the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper?  I am hearing a lot of yes.   Don’t you hate to throw them out even when they are so small?  Even the 1  3/4″ squares are perfect for this project.

Today’s Paper Player’s Challenge was a sentiment in the middle.  So I was able to partner it with those scraps which turned this card into a beautiful birthday card.  Now, are you going to look at those small scraps the same way?

Check out this site for other great ideas.  http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.co.uk/

Tips and Tricks

Colors:  I chose Tangerine Tango because it works with the print in my Designer Series Paper.  All pattern and work out from there. you need to do is pick one

Stamp Set: I needed just the right words for a birthday card and I found Suite Sayings had it.  This stamp set has so many great words and phrases. You will find it useful for many different occasions. Sadly, it is retiring. So you need to take a second look and order it today. The Retirement List is shrinking.  Ordering is easy because all you need to do is click here https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/default.aspx

  • Suite Sayings

Ink:  Because I used a retired Navy Blue ribbon, I decide to use the lease used color and continue it with the Navy Blue color.

  • Night of Navy

Paper:  Remember your Designer Series Paper color and to tie it with it.

  • Tangerine Tango
  • Whisper White

Designer Series Paper:  Whatever scraps you have.

Accessories: Give that plain orange some textured. The one I chose will be retiring.

  • Falling Petals Textured Embossing Folder
  • Big Shot
  • Trimmer
  • Lots of Labels Framelits

By the way, I am changing the schedule of my post. Right now I am scheduling the card fold video on Saturdays.
