A Little Birdie Told Me

 Hello!  Welcome to my studio.  I am still working on using some of my surplus papers and never before used items such as the ones I used to create these Birthday Cards with Bird themes.  I pulled out a gift pack that was a freebie with the Spring 2017 edition of Make Special Cards magazine.  Yes, I have had it almost 3 years.  The pack included Patterned Papers, Die Cut Shapes, Gems, Card stock, envelopes,  and a stamp set. For the first 2 cards shown. I used patterned paper, strips of card stock, gems, and a bird stamp all from the kit. Using white card stock for the card bases, I stamped the bird with black ink and colored with Copics and stamped the sentiment from a very old set in my stash.

The next 2 cards utilize the same patterned paper with some of the die cuts from the gift pack but I used Turquoise CS from stash with Birthday stamps from  Little Claire Designs and GKD.

 For the next 4 cards, I switched to another of the Patterned Papers using more of the die cuts with solid card stock from my stash and birthday stamps. These cards came together fairly quickly and added to my supply of birthday cards ready to send.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Birthday cards.

Golden Angel

Hello! I was playing with a Christmas challenge and a sketch challenge and came up with this design using stamps from a freebie set out of Quick Cards magazine.  I used Versamark and Gold embossing for stamping the angel and border.  Added a scrap of some pattern paper with gold foil accents and a die cut sentiment with word Joy. Used Gold metallic CS for layers and die cuts of leaves and poinsettia.
