This adorably stamp set has had a pretty short life. It is in the Occasions Catalog and sadly WILL NOT be returning to the new Annual Catalog. I absolutely LOVE these cute little birds (even though I am not a “bird fan.”) And the greetings are so fun! Unfortunately we will be saying goodbye to the Bird Banter Stamp set the end of May. So if you like it, make sure to include on your next order!
I have a couple of cards for you today using this stamp set. (I shared these awhile ago, but thought I would share again in case you missed them)
This card is just screaming summer! When you look at the bird, notice the color of his body. We do not have a Stampin’ Blend that color, but I achieved it by using the Light Daffodil and the Light Old Olive together–perfect for the bird! I also combined the Light Pool Party with the Light Bermuda Bay for the wing.
Card Recipe
- Smoky Slate card base: 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″
- Pumpkin Pie: 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Lemon Lime Twist: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
- Bermuda Bay: 2 5/8″ x 4 1/8″
- Whisper White: 2 1/2″ x 4″
- Scraps: Whisper White
- Inside: Whisper White: 4″ x 5 1/4″
A Few Tips
- The bird on the front is stamped in Memento Black ink then colored with Stampin’ Blends. Make sure to use a scrap of Whisper White–works the best with the Stampin’ Blends
- Cut the bird out with a scissors (yes a scissors–no framelit for this! bummer!) and adhere to card with Mini Dimensionals
- If you need some tips for coloring with the Stampin’ Blends, let me know and I have a couple of videos that I will direct you to
Don’t forget the inside of the card:
Bird Banter Stamp Set
Here is what the stamp set looks like!
Saying Goodbye to the Bird Banter Stamp Set
I love how bold and bright these colors are! The real red is the color of the Designer Series paper I used, however, the birds are colored using the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends–but you really can’t tell that I used 2 different reds. They still go together perfectly.
Card Recipe
- Basic Gray card base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
- Tutti-frutti DSP: 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Bermuda Bay: 3″ Scalloped circle cut with layering circle framelits
- Whisper White: 2 7/8″ circle cut with layering circle framelits
- Scraps: Whisper White, Basic Black
- Inside: Whisper White: 4″ x 5 1/4″
A Few Tips
- Birds are stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends on a scrap of white–then cut out. I adhered them to the card with dimensionals
- Greeting is stamped in VersaMark and embossed with White Embossing Powder on scrap of Basic Black then cut out using banner thinlit from the Petals & More dies
- Check out the Lemon Lime Twist ADHESIVE-BACKED SEQUINS–love love love these!!! And then I added a Rhinestone on top!
These birds were super easy to color with the Stampin’ Blends. This is a new found love of mine….I was never one to like markers, but I love to color with these Blends. It’s super easy to get “artist looking” results!!!
