March Stamp of the Month - Sunshine Birdies




Welcome to the March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Sunshine Birdies. This is a fun set of 11 stamps! If you have come here from Vickie ODell's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultant's HERE.

For my card, I used paper from the Penelope Paper Pack.  I added the green piece at the base and the Thistle washi tape.  Then I stamped my images,  I stamped another bird onto Thistle B&T paper and the sun on some Canary B&T.  Before layering the bird and sun on top of the stamped images, I ran my card base through the Vine Embossing Folder (Z3019).  (Hint: I like to stamp the bird on the card base so that when I cut out the bird from the B&T paper, I don't have to worry about cutting around his little legs or feathers on top of his head!)


We will be creating this card at my next Technique Tuesday class!  If you are local to me, check out my upcoming events tab for more information!

Remember!  You can purchase this Sunshine Birdies stamp set for just $5 with a $50 purchase!

Now it is time to check out all the other fun things created with this adorable stamp!   Hop over to Nancy Womerley's blog to see what she has for you!

    Great card! I love your idea for stamping on the card base you don't have to fussy cut around the bird's legs. I love that you stamped it on the Thistle B&T too. Pretty.

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
