The Amazingly Versatile Bird Punch!

Hi everyone! I've had such a busy day today! I have been helping my upliner Cate at her Stampin' Up! craft retreat - a full six hours of stampin' fun! We made lots of different projects and also learnt lots of new craft techniques! I hope to upload some photo's from this event tomorrow, as soon as i do i will share these with you on here!!

A really great part of being involved in a craft event like these, is that you can meet likeminded craft thinkers and share ideas and card designs. (Hello to anyone i met there today!) We have a 'share table', where everyone brought and shared their recent craft projects. So today i want to share with you a card i took with me to share. It is using (probably my most favourite) Stampin' Up! punch - the 'Two-Step Bird Extra-Large', although not in the conventional way. The tulips were made using the bird wing, and leaves are the branch part of the stamp! This is just one other way of using the bird punch (and a great way to use up scraps of cardstock!!) The 'Thankyou' is from the 'Because i Care' stampset (available as a Level 1 hostess gift) Hope you're inspired!
