My New Feathered Friends

When Stampin' Up!'s new catalogue came out, the set "Aviary" caught my eye right away and I knew it would be one of the first I just HAD to order!

120462  Aviary  Clearmount  $21.95

116956  Aviary Woodmount  $30.95

With their stylish & cozy little cages, how could I resist those adorable little birds!  Have you ever SEEN such a cute little owl?!

I was thrilled when I found out I qualified for a recent promotion and was allowed to choose two stamp sets from the catalogue for FREE!  (One of the benefits of being a demonstrator! ;)  I knew this set was DEFINITELY one I had to have and couldn't wait for it to arrive.

Last night I sat down and decided to stamp a quick card using this set.  I'd decided to go with the clear mount set - I love how I could see through the block for easy placement of these little feathered friends in their cage. :)

I stamped the cage using Early Espresso which is one of our new neutral colors in our core color collection and also used some of our new 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon (which is also available in TWELVE other colors!)

I love the way this card turned out.  It's actually going to be one of the projects I'm offering at my catalogue and cupcake event tomorrow night, so if you've signed up to attend, you'll get to make this project yourself!  Hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!
