Happy 8th Anniversary Altenew! I am so happy to be participating in Altenew’s Birthday Hop again this year! You probably arrived from Bridget Casey’s lovely BLOG. If not, you might want to start at the beginning with Altenew’s BLOG.

I’ve been a bit obssessed (see below) with the Bird of the Woods Layering Stamp set and coordinating dies and wanted to make a few cards for the hop. This bundle is so fun and very versatile.

I stamped 8 different color combos and have two in this blog post. I will be blogging about a few more variations in the future.
For the card above, I used the following:
- Bird of the Woods Stamp and Die Bundle
- 48 ink cube set (I used Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Peach Perfect, Mountain Mist and Volcano Lake)
- Burlap Texture die (background)
- Essential Sentiment Strips

I love this springy clean card too! I think this would make a wonderful Mother’s Day card.

Supplies for Card 2:
- Bird of the Woods Stamp and Die Bundle
- 48 ink cube set (I used Buttercream, Warm Sunshine and Rouge)
- Parrot and Orange Crush die ink for the head and beak.
- Garden Trellis Cover Die

Love how you used the burlap texture die. I struggle with finding the right place for it ever since someone told me that using it behind a butterfly made it look like a fly swatter. 😉
