I Brake for even more birds!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day last week.

I know I just used these birds to make cards for some shut ins and a woman who is making masks and distributing them for free but I just love this image so much.

This stamp is from the sheet called 141

I used a wood grain paper to matte the image because I like how it looked with the brown on the birds. I thought the light yellow background paper was perfect for Mother's Day.

I Brake for Birds

Hello!  We have been having such a lovely spring.  I have been watching outside my kitchen window as the birds are gathering nesting material, and I have seen larger birds, like crows, flying around carrying large sticks.  This made me think of a set of my favorite bird stamps.

I first made my backgrounds with a stencil and three colors of distress ink.  I found this pretty pastel blue cardstock and decided to stamp my images in dark brown ink.  I did some sponging with brown distress ink but otherwise left these simply stamped. I am quite pleased with these cards.  They will be part of the package of cards I send to the local assisted living center, as they shelter in place.  

These stamps are all from Birds Stamp Sheet 141A

Thank you for visiting the blog today!  Happy Stamping!

I Brake for Birds...

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  This is a fun post because I really do brake for birds.  I am a bit of a birder (aka birdwatcher) so I naturally am drawn to wonderful bird stamps like this.

Sheet 141A Birds

I colored my birds with alcohol markers to resemble an American Robin.  These birds strike me as being fledglings about to leave the nest for good.

I was listening to a birding podcast the other day and they said that there are really only a few weeks of summer for birds.  The entire breeding season is their Spring and then migration starts in late July for some birds, so they don’t get much rest!

I stamped the branch ink light beige ink onto vanilla cardstock for the background.  After die cutting, I added the sentiment tag on with a brad and popped the center panel up on fun foam.  

Thank you for your visit to the I Brake for Stamps blog.  Come back often for more inspiration from the team.

I Brake for Beautiful Birds!

Hello and happy Saturday! 

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for my cousin.

She's having some medical problems and I wanted

her to know that we're thinking of her and behind her 

all the way!

I used this stunning bird duo from I Brake for Stamps.

SHEET 141A BIRDS

 There are 9 total stamps in the set.

On the inside I used an appropriate phrase from the same pad of paper that the designer paper came from. This is what she needs to hear right now.

 I distressed some of the edges of the paper to give it a more shabby chic look.

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made using a new I Brake For Stamps sheet.

This is SHEET 141A BIRDS with a little accents from the blossoms from LARGE LILAC.

The bird and the branches are from the sheet.  The flowers were cut out of the Lilac stamp.
