May Swap

Our weSTAMP group met last night and this was my swap. Our theme was a "gatefold" card. The bird idea was inspired by Tessa. You can view her card on SCS HERE. Funny, I wasn't drawn to this stamp set when it first came out, but I have grown to LOVE it because you can do SO MUCH with it! This card is a great way to use up DP paper scraps, too!

I will post the other swaps SOON!!! Please check back.


Recipe:
Stamp Set: Cheep Talk
Paper: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Slumber DP
Ink: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red, Versa Mark (Inside Branch)
Accessories: Twine, So Saffron Brads, Small Star Punch (Beak), White Gel Pen (Eye)
Paper is first cut at 4 1/4" x 11"
Score at 2", 3 3/4", 7 1/4, and 9"
The small strips of paper on front are each 4 1/8" x 7/8"
