Bird Banter - 2018 Occasions Catalogue

Today I decided to play with the Bird Banter set from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Occasions catalogue. I love all of the birds featured in this set, I love the little cockatoo as it means there is an Australian animal in there. Here's a picture of the set:
And here is a picture of the quick and easy card I came up with.


I decided to get the sentiment from the 'A Good Day' set, which is also in the Occasions catalogue because I love the unusual font. I used a Crumb Cake 3 inch square card base, and then cut out Whisper White and Lemon Lime Twist squares using my new Layering Squares framelits. I cut the smallest square from a piece of Color Theory DSP I had in my scrap basket (it's Crushed Curry but I used the lightest end of the spectrum). The banner at the top was cut using the Bunch of Banners framelits (which I also just got), and adorned with the Glitter Enamel Dots from the Annual Catalogue. I'd use them on every card if there were dots to match every Stampin' Up! colour! The washi tape is from the Tutti Frutti suite in the Occasions catalogue. I added that on as I felt it tied all the colours together nicely. 

I hope you like my card, if you have any questions, just ask!

  1. Love the combination of shapes and colours to this card. also love how it shows you don't need loads and loads of 'stamps and stuff' to make a great card. Thank you for sharing.

    1. Thank you so much! I like to mix up shapes where I can. I felt that the colour combination was like the bush in some ways 😁
