Little Bluebird

Wanted to share my guest design post at the

Classy Cards 'n Such blog today....

I would love to have to go visit and leave me "some love" there..

 

Hello, it's Diane  today on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog

 to share with you this super cute birdie card.

We still have some summer left and it felt like the kind of  day to create

a summery card and this cute stamp was perfect!

 

I don't know if you are familiar with Stampavie or not, but once you see them. 

I know you will LOVE them as much as I do.

This little fellow is called Bird on a Branch

I made him  into a bluebird, I just love the pop of orange color on his belly

His butterfly "friend" is also part of the 2 piece stamp set.

I colored him in with Copics and added a teeny tiny lady bug made with

black and red Viva Pearl Pens..

A bit of Stickles was added to the center of the flowers..

The "frame" you see around him is a Cheery Lynn Designs die called Polynesian Sails Oval

This die is a wonderful buy, as inside is a small doily die, so when purchasing it,

it is like getting 2 dies for the price of one...what a bonus!!!

The polka dot paper you see (pretty isn't it?) is from the 6 x6 paper pad

by Simple Stories called Vintage Bliss

however, Beverly has several paper pads to choose from and is adding new ones all the time.

If you would like to give them a "peek", you can see them HERE

 

I finished off my card by making my own envelope with the "envelope punch board"

you just have to have one of these, they make over 60 super easy sizes of envelopes...

but I have to warn you, once you start making them, you don't want to stop!!

And it's a good way to use up some of those papers that you just don't know what to do with!

 

 

These can be lined (a hint is when you cut your paper (this one is cut 8 1/8" by 8 1/8"), you cut a

pretty piece of designer paper slightly smaller, maybe 8" to line the inside of the envelop

before you score and punch it.  You could also use double sided designer paper, and turn out

beautiful ones that way, too!

I made mine out of cardstock, then just somewhat outlined my stamp with a marker

and stamped it on the front!!

Some of the other items I used to make my card are:

1/2" Scor-tape

Cuttlehug Large

Crafters Tools by Cheery Lynn Designs

I hope you enjoyed my project today...and I will see you again soon!!
