A little birdie told me that combining the Bird Ballard paper with the stamp set from the Hugs from Shelli kit would be a great idea. Birds, feathers and even more feathers make for quick and simple cards.
I’ve needed some cards for the Crafting Acorns this month and here’s a pic of a couple that I made.
The top card is one of the ones given with team reward vouchers. The bottom card is a birthday card, but I think the sentiment gives that away!
The 12″ x 12″ sheet of double sided paper that I chose has huge flock of different coloured birds on it. By cutting out select birds using a circle from the Layering Circle Dies it is easy to create a different card each time.
