I can’t forget my favorite birds from the Birds & Branches Stamp Set. Aren’t they adorable sitting on their branch? The branch is from the coordinating set, Bird & More Dies, cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and embellished with Iridescent Rhinestones.

“just a little hi”

But, the first thing I did was stamp the birds in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock, use their Birds & More Dies for cutting, and place them on Dimensionals. After experimenting with adding color, I decided they were best left alone.

Next, I cut the background from Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″, and used the third largest Layering Circles Die to make a 2 1/4″ hole.

To add foliage for the birds, I used the Stitched Greenery Die. If you haven’t heard me say this before, it’s a cool die that works like an embossing folder, when you run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Next, to make the sky, I cut Simply Marbleous Designer Paper a sliver smaller than 4″ X 5 1/4″, and glued it to the Stitched Greenery layer. I do the “sliver cut” to insure the edges of the paper beneath aren’t showing.

The card base is Balmy Blue Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“Just a little hi from me” is from the Sale-a-bration, Special Moments Stamp Set, FREE with a qualifying order of $100.00. You can see all 21 sentiments in my Product List below. It’s a great set!

I stamped the words in Early Espresso Ink, and used the smallest Layering Circles Die for cutting. Before gluing it in place, I backed it with Balmy Blue Cardstock, cut with the smallest, scalloped, Layering Circles Die.

I was inspired by Fusion.
