CCMC506 Bird Banter

April 19, 2018 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! We have a FUN sketch for you to try this week on Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! I had a blast making this card! I used the soon to retire Bird Banter stamp set…going to miss this sweet little set. I love the greetings in it and will definitely keep it just for those!

Here’s what I came up with…

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Tranquil Tide cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake, embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder.
The 2-1/4 x 4 “pocket” shape was hand cut from the Tutti Fruiti Designer Paper Stack and layered on Tranquil Tide cut to the same shape.
The bird, flower and branches from Bird Banter were stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White and colored with Stampin’ Blends, then cut out and added to the “pocket” with Stampin’ Dimensionals (the branch just adhered with Tombow Glue).
The greeting was stamped with Tranquil Tide on Whisper White and cut with the Petals & More Thinlit Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

LOVE how this turned out!!! OK, check out the rest of the Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary to see what they came up with using this sketch!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 22 years and just had my 21st year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
