Spring Retreat - Builder Birdcage

Aren't these little birds just the cutest? The Builder Birdcage stamp set is super flexible and super cute! This first card I made for someone who let me constantly borrow her Cuttlebug machine since I was traveling. I did bring my own plates and luckily she was very sweet to let me borrow her machine - thanks Nancy!

Her daughter was clearing out her paper stash, so the envelope flap was covered in one of those papers I picked up for cheap and since I was hand delivering it to her, it was safe to cover just the back flap. The color combo I used was Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo and then I embossed the card front after stamping with the Tufted embossing folder.

~Enjoy!

I CASEd myself from the Day by Day challenge with the eggs all lined up. I lined up these cute birdies in Memento Black, Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake. The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake and cut with the Decorative Label punch.

I CASEd the background from Pinterest for this one and switched up the colors and then waited until I got home to add all the additional layers of the bird cage and the sprigs. Super cute, this one ended up going to my friend Louise for her birthday! I used Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Powder Pink. The birdcage was an old die I have had for years and the sprigs are from Flourish Thinlits and Bouquet Bunch Thinlits.

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives January 2019

Her are some Paper Pumpkin alternatives for the 2019 January Paper Pumpkin
~Enjoy

More standard out of the box designs. The lips were made from the ends of the pillow boxes cut off.

Now a little more outside of the box.

I started off thinking these would be for my friend Shannon on Valentines day, but I think I will keep these around for when I need some pet cards - I never seem to have them when I need them. Now - for the faint of heart when it comes to cutting stamps - you may want to stop reading...you've been warned!

I have a million "For You, my friend stamps" & honestly - I do not use the ones I have, so I thought I could alter this stamp to say Fur you, my friend, so I got out my micro-scissors and my magnifying glass & very gently cut the top off of the O in the word For. This lopsided style of font allowed for the edit & I think it is really cute. Only after I hacked up my stamp - I found that they had a similar one in the Happy Tails set - oh well!

These cards turned out very pretty but maybe it is the tufted background - all I see is a baby card.

I just love how this card came out, I went back to the paper pumpkin Blissful Bouquet Paper Pumpkin set from a million years ago (but i just received this past weekend) and grabbed the little DSP for the leaves. The envelopes were made with a similar set of stamps from the Incredible Like You set - I just added a little pen detailing to match the DSP

Now this card is a little funky and instead of love I thought it might be cute as an engagement card. Not until I got done & I was thinking of who could I give this too - it is pretty far out there - I thought of my 2 co-workers - who are pretty out there & just got engaged - PERFECT!!
