Stamp Off Birds and Branches with Birds and More Dies

It's Stamp Off challenge Friday, with Susan, Buffy

and I.  I'm hoping that you had a wonderful Memorial Day.

It sure has warmed up here in Ohio!

This week, we have a color challenge, starring 

Mossy Meadow, Pool Party and Crumb Cake.

I love this color combination, but was not sure how 

I would use it for this two step stamping

bird from the new (Sneak Peak) Birds and Branches set (p120).

The Pool Party and Mossy Meadow ended up being

the perfect combo!  I used the Birds and More dies (p 174)

to cut out the bird and branches.  The sentiment comes from

the returning Waterfront set (p 129).  It fit perfectly in that

beautiful window.

Now it is time to pop on over to Buffy and Susan's 

blogs, to check out their beautiful color challenge cards.

Peaceful Poppies with Honey Bee

Here are more products that I will miss.  I LOVE the 

Peaceful Poppies DSP, with those rich colors.  The

realistic looking bees from the Honey Bee set were

perfect for pairing with many sets and papers.

This is a joy fold card, so the sentiment flap is

fastened under the bees.

I am happy to say that the So Sentimental Set,

with coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies are moving

forward into the new catalog (page 179)

Tropical Chic

I had to post one more Tropical Chic card.  Petal Pink 

and Soft Sea Foam make such a pretty combination.

I will miss this bundle.  It is very unique!

People really appreciate cards that make them wonder

how it was made.
