Bird Builder punch - Stampin' Up

Well I have been having so much fun with the bird builder punch so decided to have a go at this sweet little trio of birds. I made a mummy bird, daddy bird and then with the wing & a little piece of the leaf for the beak created a little baby bird.  For the eyes I used some leftovers from a decorative border punch which were just small enough and perfect for eyes.  Mounted on some pretty designer series paper with a flowery background it finished it off perfectly.  The sentiment is from the teeny tiny sentiments stamp set punched out with the word window punch.  Really pleased with this card & I will be making some more using different colour combinations.

Yule Blessings

I have been working on some cards with Yule greetings on for all of us out there who celebrate Yule.  This was created using the new simply serif mini alphabet Stampin' Up set to create the YULE sentiment.  I mounted this on a small heart with the full heart using punches & then embossed them with silver to give it a festive feel.  Using soft suede card stock & stamping using soft suede ink for added texture.

Bird Builder punch

These are a pair of cards using the bird builder punch and some of the great designer series papers that Stampin' Up do.  As I have two birthdays coming up for a couple of girlie friends I wanted to make a pretty feminine card.  I used complimenting pinks & the teeny tiny sentiments which have become my favourite sentiments as once punched out using the word window punch they are small & discreet but really set a card off nicely.

Bird Builder punch

The great thing about all of the Stampin' Up products is their versatility.  As the bird builder punch is my latest acquisition I have been thinking of other ways to use this punch so I used the wing from the bird builder punch to create leaves.  I started with a single circle but decided it looked a little sparse so built it up a bit with another layer, added some pearls & put a birthday sentiment using the teeny tiny wishes and the word window punch.  This has now made a fun card using some pretty co-ordinating colours.

This is a lovely Christmas card using the Stampin' Up bird builder punch.  I sponged the bird to create a lovely pair of robins and used Snow festival DSP for the Christmas tree background.  I love this series of papers as for £9.95 you make make 32 cute little cards & have lots of papers for plenty of other cards.  Such good value and I really love the versatility of this pack.
