Merry Monday 219



Hey Friends, I'm going "old school" today with my cards for Merry Monday 219. The challenge is to add a bird or birds to your card. I found this K and Co. paper in my stash that MUST be 8 years old at least, but I have always loved this paper. The little chickadees are adorable. 

Following Mojo Monday sketch 468 from Oct. 3rd, I just let the patterned paper do the work. I never use punches anymore but I like this SU one. Newer products used are a LF stitched square die and the stitched tag die from Avery Elle. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts.

As long as I had the paper out I made a 2nd card to beef up my card stash. It's quite simple but never the less it's one more to send. 

Other Challenges I'm linking to are:

ABC Christmas Challenge -V is for Vertical 
Crafting by Designs -Get Ready for Christmas

Thanks for visiting. :)

  7. Ohhhhhh, these cards are beautiful, Kim! I adore all the many, many chickadees that flit around my garden and feast at the feeders. That paper is gorgeous and I'd have a real hard time cutting it, but I try to tell myself it looks better on a card than tucked away in a dark closet. I just love both cards. The simplicity of the second one is as lovely as the cute sketch and papers on the first. I had PP's new chickadee digi printed up for this challenge, then got sick and haven't done anything for a week. Didn't even mail my Halloween cards. Can't wait to get back to stamping again!
