I am here for you!

I am joining a few challenges using a never before used 
Simon Says Stamp "Layered Chickadee Die".

I die cut my cute chickadee bird out of The Essential Craft Papers by
Craft Consortium "Ink Drops-Ocean" 6" x 6" paper pad.

After die cutting the bird pieces I used Connect Glue with Fine Tip Bottle to add
the 4 bird pieces and then die cut the bird with Basic Black CS to add more
dimension.  So fun and so cute:-)

I set the bird aside and then die cut the backgrounds using 
SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames,
and Spellbinders Hemstitch Squares using same craft paper.
Then die cut Postage Stamp Edge Frames that I cut out of white 100#
 Basic White CS and added to back of frames.  

 I attached the bird and then created a 2nd square in different color tones from
the same craft paper.  I added the die cut bird and attached the squares to
SU Basic White CS.  Then added the stamped SSS "Messages for Everyday"
sentiment using Archival Jet Black ink and Done!

I am loving the sweet bird and will be using more often:-)

Enjoy and Happy Stamping

Supplies:
Stamps: SSS Messages for Everyday sentiment.
Paper: Craft Consortium Craft Papers "Ink Drops-Oceans".  SU Basic White 100# and Basic Black.
Inks: Archival Jet Black sentiment.
Accessories: SSS "Layered Chickadee" die.  SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames dies.  Spellbinders "Hemstitch Squares" dies. Connect Glue. Fine Tip Bottle for glue.

    1. Thank you, Marcia. I love all 4 of my Craft Consortium paper pads:-) I thought it kind of looked like the bird sitting on a gold branch. The colors were even prettier and richer IRL. I had so much fun playing with the bird...there will be more birds in my future, I am sure! Hugs..Nancy

  20. What a sweet blue bird card, Nancy! I love this card, especially the layout, and the use of two tones of beautiful design paper! I have Ink Drops paper packs, so you totally inspired me to use it for die-cuts! Using both the postage die and the hemstitched die for the backdrops is so ingenious! Hugs.. Hideko

    1. Thank you, Hideko. I do Love how the paper pack made such a pretty bird. We have 2-3" of snow..oh no! We woke up to about an inch and has been snowing ever since. It is really pretty, but a cold 36 degrees. The warm fire is a good place to be today:-) Hugs...just had a power bump. We are prepared for no power..
