Spring is for the Birds. Elegant Birds.
Here’s another project using the same set of supplies as yesterday’s project, but with a whole different feel to the finished card. The finished card is square, and I’ve added the Elegant Bird die cut (see it online).
I like the bird with a bit of texture or a change in the paper for the wing, just to make it stand out. Like the little leaves? Me too! They’re from the 2 Step Bird Builder Punch (see it online).
Happy Stamping!

Subscribe to the comments for this postMixing Up with Mixed Bunch & Blossom Punch
You might have noticed a few favorites if you scan the projects from my blog in the past couple of weeks. One of my favs is definitely the Mixed Bunch stamp set (from the Occasions Mini Catalog) and its coordinating Blossom Punch (see it online).
Another fav? The Simply Scored Scoring Tool (see it online) — you can see the lines I made here on the right edge of the card if you look very carefully. They’re much easier to see in person. Speaking of which — there’s a new Diagonal Scoring Plate for the Scoring Tool! You can check it out online — and watch for my project ideas in the next couple of weeks!
Happy Stamping!

Mixed Bunch: Clean & Simple (keep it simple!)
Sometimes it’s not 4 layers, 3 stamp sets and a handful of rhinestones that make a card. Sometimes it’s simplicity that makes the difference. Here’s a clean and simple card that uses the Mixed Bunch stamp set (from the Occasions Mini Catalog, also part of my February Stamps in the Mail Club Kit).
The colors remind me of a bandanna… Poppy Parade & Island Indigo. The Blossom Punch (see it online) gives a great focal point. The bottom of the card is scored several times with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (see it online) to create a nice edged look for the card.
If you’re still craving ribbon & Glimmer Brads, then here’s another version of the same card with a bit more BLING.
I matted the card in Poppy Parade card stock to bring out the stamped colors. And the ribbon at the bottom is Island Indigo, to match the stamped circles.

Spice Cake Gift Boxes: sounds yummy to me…
Alas, there’s no actual cake involved in this project, unless of course some fabulous blog reader decides to send me cake… just saying… But the Designer Series Paper here is the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (see it online) from the Holiday Mini Catalog (browse online).
The stamped leaf at the top of the box is from the 2-step Gently Falling stamp set (see it online), stamped in More Mustard and Soft Suede to match the Spice Cake Designer Fabric (see it online) and the giant Spice Cake Designer Button (see it online).
The box pleat folds around the edges of the box are easy to accomplish with the help of the new Simply Scored Scoring Tool (see it online). Each ‘box’ of the pleat is 1/4″ deep, so set up your Simply Scored and score at 1/4″, 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, 2-1/2″, 2-3/4″, 3-3/4″, 4″, 5″, etc. for the length of the paper. Another tip — be sure to attach your Designer Series Paper to the card stock strip before you begin scoring. That way both pieces will be scored exactly the same and folding will be easier.
Fold to create the box pleats, then adhere to your Kraft Gift Box with Sticky Strip. Looking for more Gift Box ideas? Be sure to check them out on my blog! (click here for ideas)

Spooky Scallop Circle Spiders: too cute to eat
Last week I promised to share my 2nd Stamp Club with Meg project from September. Here’s the Spooky Spider creation, using the new 1 x 8″ Cellophane Bags (see them online) that I used last week on my other spider card. These would be great quick treats for a classroom or for your neighbors or co-workers.
1” x 8” Cellophane Bags are perfect for all kinds of treats—including black licorice for spider legs!
- Cut two large black circles from the Scallop Circle #2 Die for Big Shot. Sandwich three licorice ropes in Cello Bags between the scallop circles with tape.
- Create features: eyes, ¾” and 1” Circle Punches, teeth & feet are Pennant Builder Punch.
- To make legs: score strip of black card stock every ¾” with Simply Scored Scoring Tool and zig-zag fold. Attach ‘feet’ at bottoms and adhere legs under top body scallop.
Want to know something funny? I would have sworn that I stamped a little SPIDER from the Batty for You stamp set (see it online) to match my spider… but apparently not! Guess that’s what happens when I stamp too late at night 
Happy Stamping (and spooking!)
