Sweet November Preview - Love Birds

Welcome to Day 1 of Sweet November previews for All That Scraps. Today we are featuring projects using the Love Birds set. I love stamps that are versatile and I have two projects using this image in different themes.

First up is a purely Valentine-ish card which features paper from a Bo Bunny Crush pad from a couple of years ago. After stamping the image, I cut it out with a Spellbinders Nestie with the out of the box technique. The sentiment is from another new Sweet November set debuting tomorrow which was stamped onto a heart shape cut from the also new this month Conversation Hearts Cutters set. I added a circular office supply clip with a piece of Strano ribbon. The heart in the center of it was cut from last month's Cocoa and Coffee Cutters.

Copics: W00, E81, R22, R24, R27, N1, N3, N5, N7, C00, C1

Second is a more generic card featuring "blue" birds and more organic colors from nature. I stamped and colored the image cutting out with Spellbinders Nestabilites. I stamped the leaves again, coloring and then cutting them out. I layered each cut leave over the matching image, gluing down near the stem area and adding a dimensional dot underneath the top of each leaf to give them some lift. I added a rolled rose and leaves cut with the C.C. Designs Mistletoe Cutters. The paper is all from the Echo Park For the Record 2 pad.

  17. MOWord, you had me with your little love birds on the wonderfully cute pink papers, but then I got to your blue birds and omgoodness.... I love this card! I love your coloring on them and you really made me think that I now need to get this set as they are just too cute to pass up and I have to tell you that I don't usually buy animal stamps as I never manage to color them to my liking. However you sure made me a believer with these darlings. I love them and both of your cards. Hugs, Lisa G
