Hey everybody, happy Tuesday – I hope you are having a nice week so far! I’m happy to share that one of my projects was a Top 5 pick over at Try it on Tuesday, and I was invited to guest for an upcoming challenge, so here I am! I totally love Art Impressions stamps and dies, and their Twister line is off the chain, so this fun birthday card is my guest design project for the Make It Colorful challenge over at Try it on Tuesday! I have quite a few of the Twister stamps and dies, and have actually used most of them. This is one I found in my stash that I hadn’t used yet, so TA-DA… [insert high-pitched angel voice]!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock and adhered two coordinating prints from the Doodlebug Design Buffalo Check-Wood Grain Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 Double-Sided Paper Pad. I used the Art Impressions Twist Frame die to cut the aperture into the front flap. I then stamped the bird front and back on 80# Solar White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the Art Impressions Bird Twister stamps. I colored both sides of the bird, cut them with the coordinating Bird Twister dies, and inserted her into the aperture.


I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of the Doodlebug Design buffalo check paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the My Favorite Things Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 3 stamp set in black ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. I made sure to stamp the sentiment high enough so it wouldn’t show through the aperture.

Scrappy hugs,

What a fun card Leslie. That parrot made me smile. I love how you have him hanging in the open center of your card too. Cleverly done and it looks lovely. Thanks for being our guest designer. Have a super week ahead too. hugs-Erika
