obplateellieDoes anyone else have a problem actually mailing the cards they make?  I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten a card into the mail on time!  I make ‘em – I just can’t seem to get organized enough to send ‘em.

To show you how warped my thinking can be – I actually make belated birthday cards in advance. 

This is so I have a stash of belated cards that I can send when I realize that yes, indeed I missed the date again.  Please tell me someone else in cyber world does this too….

Anyway, here is a belated Birthday card made with Odd Bird Planet Stamps.  I made this card with the Birthday Circus Cling set.  The paper is Basic Gray and its colored with Copics.  Why a pink elephant?  I have no idea….

Just nesting…

Come on spring!  Its colder here today – but I know spring is right around the corner.

For this card I used the stamps from the Elegant Nest Cling set to make two love birds snug in their nest.  The set contains images by Odd Bird Planet.

I stamped the birds in Memento Tuxedo and colored them with Copics.  I added some Copic Spica glitter pen.  Then I cut them out with a circle Spellbinders die and inked the background slightly with a duster brush and Broken China Distress Ink. 

I colored the nest, cut out around it and adhered it in front of the birds with foam tape. 

The background paper is from my stash (Crate Paper).  I added the faux stitching by piercing holes with my Tim Holtz Design Ruler (love that thing) and connecting the holes with little dashes of Souffle pen.

Thanks for stopping by!

About my card:

I made my sample card using the Elegant Nest Cling set.  All of the images in the set are from Odd Bird Planet.

obpelegnestimagecloseI got my start in the stamping biz with Odd Bird Planet – so that company has a special place in my heart.  Joanna even turned a few of my stamp designs into rubber stamps!  How cool is that?  The flower garland on my sample card (and in the prize pack) was one of my designs.   Johanna has many more cute cute an clever designs by different artists than what is carried in Paper Garden Projects- well worth a look if you have never strolled over.    You can see Odd Bird Planet here.

For my card I stamped the garland twice (overlapping slightly) and stamped the Merci in the middle in Memento Tuxedo ink.  Then I colored it with Copic Markers.  The image is  cut out with a Spellbinders circle die and matted using more scalloped and straight dies. 

obpelegnestembosscloseThe strip at the bottom was cut from Core’dinations Chocolate Box cardstock and Embossed using the Cuttlebug Just My Type Embossing Border.  I lightly sanded the embossing to expose the color core paper (fun stuff!).

I can’t wait to see your contest entries (I love flowers!).  And remember – you still have till the 30th to enter the Week 1 contest.
