A Little Birdie told me...

6/29/2020

...that the Birds & Branches stamp set is too stinking cute! I just love these little birds. Today I have sunset birds and mid-day birds. Two very different looks, but both are striking. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Sunset Birds:
For the card above, I created the sunset (or sunrise?) by coloring a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends. I went from lightest to darkest to give the feel of the setting (or rising) sun. I then cut this piece with a die from the Stitched Rectangle dies to give it a finished edge. I stamped the branch and birds with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The image is layered on Flirty Flamingo and Basic Black cardstock before being attached to a Petal Pink card base. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

Cardstock Dimensions:
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Basic Black: 4 3/4" x 3 7/8"
Flirty Flamingo:
  • 4 1/2" x 3 3/16"
  • 5/8" x 2"
Whisper White:
  • approximately 3" x 4 7/8"
  • approximately 1/2" x 1 7/8"

I love the three eggs tucked in the nest on this card. They are stamped with Pool Party ink. The outline and wing of the birds are stamped with Soft Suede ink. I used Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends to color their bellies. The nest is stamped with Early Espresso while the branch is stamped with Crumb Cake ink. the leaves were added with Pear Pizzazz ink and the flowers are Flirty Flamingo.

There is a lot going on with this card and it makes extensive use of the Birds & More die set for the flowers, the nest, the eggs, the birds, and the trim along the side of the Pear Pizzazz layer. I also added a few pink pearls from the retired Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set. 
Cardstock Dimensions:
Crumb Cake: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Pear Pizzazz: 4" x 5 1/4" with the edge cut with the Birds & More dies
Whisper White:
  • 3 3/8" x 5"
  • Scraps

Share Sunshine: June Paper Pumpkin

I am lovin' the June Paper Pumpkin! It is all about sharing sunshine to brighten someone's day. It's so bright and cheery and the stamps that are included with this month's kit are awesome!

If you're already familiar with Paper Pumpkin, be sure to check out more photos of the Paper Pumpkin alternatives at the end. 

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit offered by Stampin' Up! Each month, you receive a box in the mail that includes an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, and all of the paper, adhesive, and accessories to make that month's projects. 
Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin
Often the projects are cards, like this month, but sometimes the projects are small gifts, tags, boxes, or some other paper craft. Stampin' Up! announces the general theme and the nature of the project ahead of time so that you can choose to put a hold on your subscription for a month if it doesn't sound like something that would appeal to you. 

Paper Pumpkin is great for beginners, but it's not just for beginners! Because your Paper Pumpkin box has absolutely everything in it that you need to make the projects, it's perfect for people who have never stamped but want to give it a try. But, Paper Pumpkin is also great for more experienced stampers. If you like to make cards based on a pre-set design - Paper Pumpkin is perfect for that!
Picture

If you like to imagine and create your own card designs, Paper Pumpkin is perfect for that too! Nobody says you have to use the supplies in the box to create the suggested projects. You can combine those supplies with items from your own stash to create even more amazing projects! 

Here are the cards as they were designed to be put together:

And here are all the other cards (and scrapbook page) that I created:
