Birdie Birthday Card

First of all, Happy Independence Day!



This card is made especially for the challenge blog, The Paper Players, who's current challenge is #152 Tic Tac Toe.


We love sitting on our front porch and watching the birds swoop down to eat the bread crumbs we toss in the yard.  So I chose to use the top row across for my card: Birds, Blue, Birthday.

  • Night of Navy cardstock cut @ 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
  • Background polka dot paper from Designer Series Stack - Neutrals
  • Whisper White Baker's twine (this stuff is so soft - I love using it on my projects)
  • Backyard Basics stamp set for Bird stamped in white
  • Backyard Basics Metal Die set used to punch out birdie perfectly - love metal dies!
  • Blooming with Kindness for flower and sentiment stamped in Marina Mist ink
  • Bird and sentiment attached with Stampin' Dimensional
This is actually a POSTCARD instead of a card that opens and closes.  I used the metal die to punch out the bird shape (after stamping it first) and then used that same cardstock as my card base. I thought how cool would it be to have the bird shape on the back of my card as well where I write out my message? Want to see the back?

I think that's pretty cool. I can either write on the back with my white gel pen or add a white writing piece. Love it!
