One More For the Birds

I woke up this morning without a voice AGAIN.  That is truly for the birds.  Meanwhile...
I have one more For the Birds card to share with you.  This card shows how you can use the same exact design, same exact stamp, and still change the look by using a different piece of DSP.

By the way...
All the images in this wonderful little stamp set could easily be used in cards with this same design.  Change out the image... try new color stories... you have endless possibilities.

You can see all the details in my previous post.

For the Birds

Today's post is for the birds... literally... using our For the Birds stamp set.  This card exemplifies how one cute little stamp can be used to create the cutest card ever... and it's quick and easy.

I used just a plain piece of Cherry Cobbler CS to line the envelope and I added a tiny scalloped border at the top edge of the DSP strip.  With minimal coloring and minimal DSP, this card is quick and it's easy on the supplies.

Look closely and you can see some speckles of sparkly snow on the upper portion of my card.  

I used our wonderful Confetti Star Punch to fancy up the inside of the card.

Christmas Plaid

Here's another card using our Wondrous Wreath... this time in a Christmas Plaid.  I love the look of plaid.   It reminds me of a special Christmas memory.  First the card and then the memory. 

I've used our cherry cobbler seam binding in 2 places on this card and then created a coordinating envelope using some of our Washi Tape.

Now the memory.
When I was a little girl, my grandmother would sew for the entire family... every year.  She made pajamas and/or robes for all the moms and dads and complete outfits for all the kids.  The outfits could be pajamas or robes or my favorite... a skirt, blouse and vest for each of the girls.  I loved my little plaid skirt and vest so much that I actually cried when I outgrew it and had to pass it down to my little sister.  I do still have something wonderful by which to remember all my grandmother's wonderful outfits.  One year, she used all the scraps from previous projects and made a lap robe for each of the moms and dads.  I have the 2 passed down from my parents and I already gave 1 to each of my children because I wanted them to have a token of the incredible love given us by all our family.  If you're not already impressed, here's the info on how big a job my grandmother took on each year.  She had 3 daughters and 1 son and among them, they all had 7 grandchildren.
