Bird Card

I used that cute Good Morning Sunshine paper I had left over from my Feb class layout for this card as well as the Birds and Branches die and eyelet lace border punch. I cut a 1 1/2" X 5 1/4" strip of the bird paper, 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Pacific Point cardstock and 2 1/2" X 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock which I punched on both long sides with the eyelet lace border punch. After layering these I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of the yellow checked paper, leaving room at the top for the birds and one piece of the tree branch diecut. I stamped the "Thinking of You" sentiment from the Trendy Trees stamp set that I got from the Man in Brown yesterday. I need to find some more time to play with that set tomorrow, I love it! I trimmed the white strip down and matted it on a small scrap of Pacific Point. I adhered the branch and then added the birds using Stampin' Dimentionals. This really was a pretty quick card. That Big Shot machine is making card making and scrapbooking so fast. I'm going to start a Big Shot Club soon. I'll be posting details of that soon.

I love those cute little birds on the smaller strip. Did you say that was paper?

It is a patterned paper called Good Morning Sunshine. The yellow plaid is from the same package. Those little birds are so cute! There is a stamp set that has the same birds on it, I need to buy it, huh??

Don't forget I'll be joining youre club next month! And since we'll be mooching off of you and daddy, I might even be able to buy something every now and then.
I love the new country counter! I've never see one before - it's cool!
Also, just FYI, I did send Curtis some more pics on Sunday he has yet to post. It's a good thing we're moving there or I'd have to fire him!
