Since there is still snow/ice on the ground here in Newfoundland, Canada. This NJ Girl is looking for some warmer weather! Here is my Spring Inspired Card.

Fiskars Products:

For the Birds - Clear Stamps

Threading Water - Border Punch

I loved that the For the Birds Stamp Set had the word "inspire" on it! My Girl, Becky has been inspired by her Grandmother & Aunt! They love to go for nature walks and look for/at the different birds. Becky just got a Newfoundland Bird Guide from her Aunt for her adventures here in Newfoundland. Now, I just got to get her Aunt here to explore with her!

How I created the card:

Using a wide Brown Grosgrain Ribbon I made the tree. Attached to my patterned paper wrapping the extra behind and then attaching to my card base. Cut another piece of ribbon, angling the one cut for the end of a branch. Folded over the side closest to the tree and used glue dots to hold the folds. Giving the branch some dimension. 

Stamped my bird on Hollyhock Cardstock using the matching ink and fussy cut. I distressed the edges of the bird to give her some life then inked the edges. Cut out a 2" circle using handmade Mulberry Paper. Cut the circle in half and frayed the edges for the nest. Attached the nest to the bird in layers and popped up the bird using foam squares. Punched and inked my border, for the ground/grass. Stamped my sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed my little Spring inspired bird!


I also made a tag...Not sure how I want to use it yet! But my brother is getting married and his girl(future SIL) has been shopping for a dress. So, I was inspired.

Here is a shot with the blue background. Shows a bit brighter!

I used a little shimmer paper.

Fiskars Products:

Threading Water - Border Punch

Wedding (Cloud 9 Design/Fiskars) - Clear Stamps

I was going for a Bridal Shop door...now I just have to see if I want to make them a card or if Christine(future SIL) got pics of picking out her dress. I can do a page! 

HINT...HINT....
