Bright Paisley Birds

Have you ever found yourself using a stamp or set in a unconventional way? Today I’ll be sharing a card that fits this description.

My bestie is one of the most creative people and I know. She’s gifted in all the areas I’m not- cooking, sewing, babysitting, piano playing…. on top of that, she’s also good at everything craft related. Now she doesn’t stamp (except when she visits me), but she always has great ideas of what I should try out with my stamps. When I showed her this paisley set, she said I should try creating birds with them. What in the world?! Would this even be possible? Much to my delight, it WAS possible and the results are darling.

It may be a little obvious that I had this card in the archives. The colors are ones I typically use in the summer and one of the rhinestones shifted (I’m guessing because it was under a stack of other cards that have yet to see the blog). I wasn’t kidding when I said I need an assistant…

In closing, I have to share another shop update. I’m bursting with excitement…..and no, it’s not just from all coffee I’ve drank today. The labels that go with the items in my shop finally arrived and today I’ll be receiving the rest of my items. Needless to say, I will be a busy bee this weekend getting things ready, shipping items out to some upcoming special guests and hopefully getting some samples made. I’ll be posting a picture on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter later today with a sneak peek of what will be in the shop!

Thank you to everyone who has shared in my excitement thus far and already promised to purchase from me (even though I haven’t officially confirmed what I’m selling). I feel so blessed and I’m hopeful this little shop will do well so I can bring even more exciting things in the future! :)
