Bird Banter Birthday Card is a Celebration

  • Bird Banter stamp set from Stampin' Up!
  • Free Sale-A-bration selections with a $50 or $100 order

Bird Banter for Celebrations 



These birds just want to party!  Bird Banter set from Stampin' Up! includes such fun bird images.  You just know they want to have fun.  Today's card uses just two of the 5 bird images from this set.  There are also several cute images, like the balloons, a party hat, a heart, and flowers and branches, which I'm sure I'll use on future card.

        
  




I a basecard of Soft Sky, then a thin layer of Whisper White, and then another layer of Soft Sky dry embossed with the Garden Trellis embossing folder.  Then a smaller Whisper White layer was used for the image layer.

The Birds were stamped on Whisper White and colored with Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie Pink Pirouette, and Daffodil Delight Blends Markers. The birds were fussy cut and mounted on Dimensionals.   The balloons, also from the Bird Banter set, were stamped in Smoky Slate, and then colored with the Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sky and Daffodil Delight Blends.

  
Bird Banter




The die cut word, Happy, was cut out of both Pool Party and also out of Smoky Slate.  Each cardstock was backed with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets before going through the Big Shot, and the Smoky Slate was offset slightly to form a drop shadow under the Pool Party die cut.   This makes it so easy to adhere the two layers together and to add to the card without messy glue.   

I used the Happy Birthday from Teeny Tiny Wishes and used a Smoky Slate marker to color only the word Birthday to stamp on the card.  I completely missed that fact that the Bird Banter stamp set includes a number of sentiments, including a Happy Birthday sentiment, which I will use in the future, since I plan to make several more of this card to  have on hand for upcoming birthdays.

Butterfly greetings from Blossoming Basket Stamp set from Stampin' Up!

  • Butterflies and Amazing You
  • Blossom Basket and Basket Weave Embossing folder bundle
  • Sale-A-bration selections with a $50 or $100 order

Tiny Butterflies creates a fun background 



Today's card is an example of how to use small elements that come with your stamp sets that you might not consider to create an entire card.  The tiny butterfly from Blossom Basket Bundle Sale-A-Bration Set creates a really cute background for a fast, simple card.  Its a great way to get even more use out of a stamp set.    


        
  




I used a Thick Whisper White basecard for this card.  Then a layer of Bermuda Bay, a layer of Iridescent Glimmer paper from the Myths ad Magic Glimmer Paper pack, and a layer of Whisper White for the sentiment.  The Bermuda Bay layer is hand ripped to create a less formal=looking card.

The word "Amazing" is a die cut from the Sale-A-Bration Celebrate You Thinlits Dies, one of the rare Sale-A-Bration gifts that will carry over to the 2018-2019 catalog, making it a great gift selection with a $100 order.
  




Using the tiny butterfly from the Blossoming Basket Bundle, I stamped it in Bermuda Bay, Powder Pink and Fresh Fig randomly on the top and bottom of the card.  I also fussy cut one of the Bermuda Bay butterflies out of a scrap of Whisper White and added it to the tail of the Amazing die cut.      

To complete the phrase begun on the front of the card, I added the die cut word You, also from the Celebrate You Thinlit Dies set, to the inside of the card.  I fussy cut a Powder Pink butterfly to add to the die cut.  I had a large number of the very tiny Pearl Basic Jewels from the retired configuration that I added to the bodies of the tiny butterflies.  Stampin' Up! now offers the Pearl Jewels in a different configurations, but if you have any of the old configuration of these pearls, this is a great way to use up some of your old supplies.






Thanks to Brandy Cox, a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, for this great projects.
