Hello friends!! Happy Monday to you!!!
Wow is it ever hot out there!! Hope you are all staying cool and inside in air conditioning!
I have been wanted to use this stamp set ever since I got it with my new Stampin' Up! goodies!! So I am excited to have gotten some play time in my stamp room with it!! I also found some fun challenges to incorporate with it, so I hope you enjoy it as well...
This is the new stamp set called Blissful Bird and I've punched it out with the matching Bird Builder Punch that punches out the exact shape of the stamp images! I punched out the branch with just some Early Espresso card stock.
One of the challenges that I'm entering this in calls for "coffee and cream", so I thought that I would try to incorporate the color theme with my card today. I really love how this one turned out!
This bird reminds me of the sweet little Robin mama and her babies that have picked the crab apple tree in our back yard for their new home. The babies have hatched and she kicked one of them out, we try to help and put him back, but she kicked it out again...so sad, but that's nature I suppose. We've had fun watching her come and go to feed her other babies as the nest is really close for us to see daily. I've never seen a baby bird so close-up before! It's awesome! :)
Here's what I've used on my card 5" x 5" in size:
Stampin' Up! stamp sets: Blissful Bird, Itty Bitty Banners
Papers: Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stacks, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Inks: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Accessories: Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon, Neutrals Brads, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Stamping Sponges, Ticket Duo Builder Punch (for top edges), Scallop Edge Border Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Labels Collection Framelits Dies, Bitty Banners Framelits Die
Here are some challenges that I'd like to enter this card for:
Papertake Weekly - sketch
SUO (Stampin' Up! Only Challenges) - For the Birds
Charisma Cardz - anything goes
Moving Along with the Times - Happy Birthday
One Stop Craft - Coffee and Cream
Sweet Stampin - Scallops
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - use something new (stamp sets are new for me)
I thought this might help make up for the post that I missed last week and I will be back tomorrow to share another something FUN with you! :) Hope to see you back!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
HUGS and SMILES! :)

How sweet is this card! The colour combination makes a vintage look!

A gorgeous colour combo Vicki, my favorite "Coffee & Cream".
I have only just discovered Stampin' Up the last year, we have a lovely ladie who brings us the most gorgeous products to our Craft group and we are all eager to purchase it.
My favorites are the papers, they do some gorgeous ones and perfect for Scrapbook Layouts. Debbiexx
