Happy BirdDay w/Whimsy Stamps

When I first saw this darling Tweetie Pie Stamp Set at Whimsy Stamps, I fell in love with it.  I was patient, and I waited a couple months before I just had to own it.  How cute are these images?  I know this is a stamp set I'll use quite a bit.  The sentiments include Birthday (BirdDay), Thank You, etc. to give it great versatility that will cover several different occasions.  And those birds......ADORBS!

The set I used to create this card is called Tweetie Pie Stamp Set.  I stamped the branch, birds and sentiment using this sweet set.  I used the Forest Majesty Dies to cut those gorgeous trees in the background and I blended them in with the branches from the stamp set.  I thought they paired quite nicely.  I used a sweet floral pattern paper from the Calico 6x6 Paper Pad.

The Mix & Match Scallop Rectangle Frame Dies were used to cut the scallop frame (from cork) and the rectangles.  Again, it's great how you can pair products from Whimsy Stamps with others that compliment it so well.  I added some blue seam binding and red baker's twine as the finishing touches.  You'll always find so many great stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders, paper and more when you shop at Whimsy Stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today.  I always appreciate your visits.  If you get a chance, I'd love to have you follow me on my Instagram and Pinterest as well.  That's where I primarily share my Whimsy Stamps projects, and I don't have many Followers.  LOL  Have a great day, everyone.

Greetings Card & Tag w/Whimsy Stamps

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy creating with Whimsy Stamps products?  I'm having so much fun making each and every card I've created for Whimsy Stamps so far.  Using their amazing stamps, dies, papers and products is so conducive to creativity.  It's exciting to get a new stamp set and not know just what I'm going to create with it; but watching the ideas start to build in my head as I look at and think about each new set I get from Whimsy Stamps.

This card features the Forest Majesty Dies which include the birch trees, the deer and the small birds.  Growing up in Minnesota, I will say that I love the birch trees.  The white bark is absolutely beautiful.  I rubbed ink on white paper to create the background, but I wanted the trees to be all white.  The birds are blue, and I don't quite know why I chose to make them deep blue.  lol  That's part of the FUN of art, right?  I kept things very simple.  Kraft cardstock, the dies, a bit of inking, and that's about it.

It's always fun and easy to create a matching tag or bookmark to include with your card.  In this case, I cut a small tag/bookmark and added two of the deer atop of piece of patterned paper from the Mix & Match 1 6x6 Paper Pad.  The sentiment I used (greetings) can be found in the Gingerbread Greetings Stamp Set.  Oh yes!  That sweet sprinkle mix I used as photo props is the lovely All Is Calm Sprinkle Mix.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  I'm trying to GROW my social media accounts.  So...if you are able to FOLLOW me on Instagram and Pinterest, that would be wonderful.  I will do the same for you.  Just let me know.  Have a blessed and creative week, everyone.

Blessings,

Karen
