Fabulous & Quirky Birds! A Thinking of You Card!

Fabulous & Quirky Birds! A Thinking of You Card!

Hello everyone! Thanksgiving is coming and we just wanted to say that we are thankful that we are able to craft & share these crafty projects with all of you! We are so glad you stopped by! If you like our blog & posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow! 

Let the crafting continue.... This card was inspired by a couple different challenges: The Double Trouble Challenge and The Try a Sketch on Tuesday Sketch challenge. Links to the challenges are below! I really loved the double trouble recipe and the twist which was to add birds! I was really excited to pull the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamp and die set out, it was my very first Tim Holtz purchase and I fell in love with it and pretty much all Tim Holtz Products! haha! I thought this stamp & die set was a perfect fit for the challenges!  Well I am a... forever #timholtzaddict thanks to this stamp and die set! I hope you like the card.. and more are coming using this stamp and die set too, so keep a "birds-eye" out for more cards coming!  

Here is the card:

Products I used:

  • Tim Holtz Sizzix Bird Crazy stamp and die set
  • Stitched and nesting circle dies
  • Simon Says Stamp You Sentiments
  • Jolee's Bling Boutique Adhesive Gems
  • Blue elastic String
  • Various colored cardstock & designer paper from personal crafting stash
  • Various colored pencils (Soucolor) and fine-line markers

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of this card:

  1. Sabra, what a great card for our TSOT and Double Trouble challenges! Such a clever way to use up scraps to create your own background - I'll have to remember your trick! I like the wonderful bright palette of colors you chose, and of course that bird stamp is so darn fun! Thank you for sharing your creativity and card with both of us!!! -Donna

  2. Super fun card. Love the bright colors you chose along with those great Tim Holtz birds. Really like how the same patterned paper was repeated in different colors. Thanks for joining us at Try A Sketch On Tuesday.
