The last hurrah – Bird Ballad Card – Stampin’ Up!

This the last hurrah for the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). All our DSP is retiring on the 2nd June. I am using my favourites for the last few projects of this catalogue year.

I have used this paper quite a number of times but still have some left. It is simply gorgeous and perfect for those who enjoy fussy cutting. Personally, I have hate fussy cutting. I do it when I have to achieve the effect I want such as in this instance. Some people find it relaxing, I find it a chore. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am not patient enough!!

I will admit that the fussy cut birds to look beautiful against the simpler background. It will be sad to see them go. The stamp called Free a Bird, thankfully, is not retiring so we can all enjoy still part of this suite or products.

measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Bird Ballad DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm

The birds have been enjoying this nice weather as well. They wake me up every morning early with their dawn songs. I love watching them searching for food in the garden. They are so free and I am jealous. I hope we can be as free as a bird soon.

Birdie Happy Birthday – Bird Ballad – Stampin’ Up!

I have this Birdie Happy Birthday card to share with you today. This week I’m focusing on simple and easy cardmaking for the beginner or occasional crafter. I think this turned really well and lets the paper do all the talking.

The cardbase is Pool Party. I’ve matted the designers series paper (DSP) on whisper white so that it will stand out from the cardbase. This is the ever-gorgeous Bird Ballad DSP. I have used quite a bit of it but still have loads left and am looking for ideas to use it up. Let me know if you have any ideas to use it besides making more cards.

The stamp set is another favourite of mine Perennial Birthday. I love the font and it is the perfect size for cardmaking. If it retires this year, I will be so sad. Do you have any favourite stamp sets? What are they?
