Crafting for the Birds

Let’s do some crafting for the birds! There are a lot of bird images offered in the Annual, and July-December Mini, Stampin’ Up! catalogs. So, here are some card creations featuring these fine feathered friends that I’ve had the privilege to stamp with.

Birds in DSP

First, I want to share some DSP (designer series paper) which has some very cute birds in the designs, an owl and songbird. But I also love that this paper makes it very easy to make some quick cards. Just add a sentiment and embellishments, if you wish.

Bonus Birds

Next, are the bonus birds? Yes, I consider these stamp sets in which the main theme is not a bird. Nevertheless, some of these stamp sets include a bird. Even though the stamp set themes are not directly “crafting for the birds” they can create cute bird cards.

Additionally, the next cards include a pelican, songbird and dove.

Likewise, the Hope & Prayer dove showed up on one of my Christmas cards. This is certainly a versatile bird! Click HERE to see.

Crafting for the Bird Themes

As I was crafting one day, I realized I had quite a few bird related stamp sets from the annual and mini catalogs. Allow me to share.

As a matter of fact, the Garden Birdhouse stamp set does have three bird images, but I didn’t use them in this card. I only featured the houses. Ha!

You can create this perched little bird with the two-step stamps, or not, and just color the bird however you choose.

But the same token, click HERE to see a gift bag project using the Perched In A Tree Bundle bundle.

At last, my Heron Habitat bundle arrived, and here is the first card I created. Most of the water birds have migrated from our area and I wanted to create a card reflecting the change of seasons.
