We have a Winter Advisory out today. The rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow mix and snow has now moved out of the Mid-Michigan area and left us with some hazardous conditions. We've gone from 53 degrees out yesterday to 19 degrees now and into the teens for tonight. Yikes!!! The ice underneath the snow is such a hazard. I wish everyone in my area safe travels if you must. My share for today is another Alternate Card that I made using Stampin' Up's December 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Flora and Flutter and SU's new Occasions Catalog Bird Banter Stamp Set. Let's take a re-look at my first Card and then a look at my second Card: It's been a while since I posted this First Card on my blog so I thought I'd give you a re-look since I'm back to using Stampin' Up's new Bird Banter Stamp Set. The Holidays have kind of thrown me off my normal routine. And, here's my Second Card. I LOVE these adorable little Birds. My Card Base is Basic Black Cardstock cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored and folded at 4-1/4" for a side opening Card. As some of you may know, the Square Lemon Lime Twist Leaf Stem Die Cuts were cut backwards and Stampin' Up placed the corrected version in our kits along with the version that was cut backwards. So we got extras! I used the backwards version on my Alternate Birthday and Thank You Card. I trimmed down the Lemon Lime Twist Leaf Stem Square to measure 3-3/4" x 3-3/4". I trimmed out a piece of Pool Party Cardstock to measure 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" and adhered it to the back of the trimmed down backwards version of the Lemon Lime Twist Leaf Stem Die Cut Square with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I adhered this panel to my Card Base with Stampin' Dimensionals. Using the Flora and Flutter Stamp Set, I stamped the Butterfly on the White Butterfly die cuts from the kit in Daffodil Delight Ink and adhered it to my Panel as shown in the picture above with a thin strip of Stampin' Dimensional down the back Center of the Butterfly Body only leaving the Wings free of adhesive. Using SU's new Occasions Catalog Bird Banter Stamp Set, I stamped the Bird, one Long Leaf Stem and 5 Short Leaf Stems onto Shimmery White Cardstock with Basic Black Archival Ink. I colored the Bird with my Stampin' Blends Markers in Light Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive as shown in the picture above. Using my Aqua Painter, I water colored the rest of the Bird with Basic Black Archival Ink. I colored the Leaves on the Leaf Stems in Light and Dark Old Olive Cardstock. I stamped the Tiny Flower 3 times in Calypso Coral Ink onto a Calypso Coral Card Base from SU's new Sale-A-Bration Tutti-Frutti Cards and Envelopes and fussy cut them out. I used SU's Fine Tip Glue Bottle Adhesive and filled in the petals of each flower and let them dry. After they were dry, I fussy cut them out. I also filled in the eye of the Bird with the Fine Tip Glue Bottle Adhesive. I fussy cut out the Bird and the Leaf Stems. I adhered the Long Leaf Stem with Mono Multi Purpose Glue behind the Stem and a Stampin' Dimensional behind the Leaves. I adhered the Bird with Stampin' Dimensionals and a little Mono Multi Purpose Glue behind its feet. I adhered 3 of the Short Leaf Stems with Mono Multi Purpose Glue behind the Stem only as shown in the picture above. I adhered the 3 Tiny Flowers with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. Using SU's Starburst Punch, I punched a Starburst from Pool Party Cardstock and trimmed it down to approximatley 3/4" x 2-1/8". I stamped my Sentiment onto Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and trimmed it out to measure 5/8" x 1-5/8". I adhered the Sentiment Panel to the Starburst Panel with Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered the last 2 Short Leaf Stems with Mono Multi Purpose Glue on the Stems only as shown in the picture above. For the inside of my Card: I adhered a panel of Whisper White Cardstock that measured 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" to the inside of my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I stamped Thank You onto a scrap piece of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and punched it out using SU's new Tailored Tag Punch. I also punched out to partial Tags from Pool Party Cardstock ( about 3/4 of each Tag ) twice and adhered them to the back of the Lemon Lime Twist Tag and to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. The last thing to do was to add some of SU's Tiny Basic Jewel Pearls (Retired) to the Center of each Flower and 3 medium Pearls to the Butterfly. I'm in total LOVE with all the darling Birds in SU's new Bird Banter Stamp Set. They are so, so and so cute!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog!!! Stay warm wherever you are!!!
