Birds of a Feather
It seems everywhere you look birds and winged creatures are flocking more and more to our scrapbook and stamp supplies. It's not that they're new to us; it's just that we've entered a new trend, a winged trend. This trend seems to focus more on birds and owls and butterflies too! There are beautiful papers, stamps, rub-ons, diecuts, felt creations and more. These sweet winged animals add a beautiful touch to our work. Whether it's a bit of whimsy you seek, a romantic touch, a bit of nostalgia or even a part of the theme, they seem to be just the right accent for many creations. Here are some examples of ways to incorporate these wonderful winged beauties into your creations. - For this layout birds were not a part of the theme but added just the right touch to complement the Bo Bunny papers and accents.
- For this layout the birds definitely added a whimsical touch that fit along with the theme of the layout and the colors too!
- For this layout birds, or for that matter owls, were not at all a part of the theme. Instead the Autumn Leaves French Twist supplies I chose had owls incorporated in them.
- For this layout it was all about birds, from the title to the supplies! Scenic Route's Laurel line is filled with birds, and my guys were definitely being silly birds!
- Birds were not a part of the theme for this layout, or even the majority of supplies, but just an added touch using the Hambly Screen Prints rub-ons. This is just the right amount!
And you know that birds and owls aren't just fun on layouts, they're also perfect for cards too! - Here's a fun card I made using new Paper Salon Acrylic Stamps. This adorable owl is from the "Just A Note" set.
- Here's another fun card using a Stampin' Up! owl stamp I fell in love with. This makes a fun way to say hello!
- Here is a card I made for Mom using Amuse Art Stamps, Poppy Ink Stamps and some beautiful Crate Paper.
- Last, here is a fun card using KI Memories Pet Shop paper and a stamp from Amuse Art Stamps.
