At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I used a coordinating stamp set and punch I hadn’t used at class before.

It’s the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set and coordinating Songbird Builder Punch. The project is based on a design from the Annual Catalogue.

The design uses a lot of different colours, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, Pecan Pie, Basic Gray, Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia and Pumpkin Pie, along with Basic White.

To begin, a background is made using cut out shapes from the Cloud Punch, a Small Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink.

Next, the branches and leaves are stamped onto the background.

Then, the bird is stamped and punched out. The beak piece is punched out and coloured using a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker.

Once the eyes have been stamped, the wing and beak are glued to the body.

Notes are also stamped onto the background along with the feet.

The sentiments are stamped onto a separate piece of cardstock and cut out. Each one has the end shaped before being stuck to the project.

A touch of Wink of Stella is dotted in the centre of each flower.

Finally, the bird is attached using Dimensionals.

I love how cute this project looks. It’s a great project for celebrating a happy occasion.
