I’m starting off the Hop with two cards for today’s set – Tweet Blessings.
For my first card, I masked the two birds from the birdhouse and stamped it without them on a piece of Basic Grey Basics Manila and cut it out. Then I added the bird sitting on the branch – as if there were a perch on the front of the birdhouse. Using Copic markers, I colored the flourishes and added some Flower Soft. The background is the Bird and Swirls Cuttlebug folder. The card base and the shelf are MFP Autumn Greens.
I decided to do a clean and simple card for my second project. I don’t often do this type of card. After stamping the branch and bird in the corner, I masked the image with a post-it note and diagonally scored the white panel. The rest is pretty self-explanatory – black matting layer, white card base and ribbon!
A pair of appropriate salt and pepper shakers from my collection.
Be sure to visit the rest of the team to see what they did with this set. And remember, you have a chance to win one of the stamp sets to be released in August.

Lois,
These bird and bird house stamps are so versatile. I guess I shouldn't be afraid to use black, I usually use it as a back drop. I am a S & P collector too. LOL =D
Simply beautiful and elegant. Love the S&P collection.
Beautiful ... stunning actually. Love all the little details to each card creation!
Love the flower soft on the first card and the simplicity of the second one. Both are very nice!
