Hello again everyone! Before we get started I just want to thank you all for your kind comments and e-mails. I love hearing from you all and so appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you think of my projects and stamp sets. :)
We are midway through this months Papertrey Ink countdown and I have a few more cheery cards to share. All three cards have images from both of my newest sets...Heart-2-Heart #3 and Tweet Talk. They will both be available starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.
I have a very springy color combo for you today...
Let's jump right in to todays projects...
Up first is a birthday card using one of the large birds in the Tweet Talk set along with the double heart image from Heart-2-Heart #3. I used the balloon string from Heart-2-Heart #2 and attached one of my hearts above to create something cute for my little bird to hold on to. My sentiment 'Happy Birthday' is also from Heart-2-Heart #2.
I added one of the smaller tails in the set to my bird and did a little stitching along the top and bottom of my hearts.
Next up is this card using a few images from Tweet Talk. I started by stamping the large solid tail in the set along the side of my card. I then added some Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper and a strip of Lemon Tart cardstock. I added my sentiment and then did my stitching.
I punched a circle out of white cardstock and then used the smallest tail in the set and stamped around the border. The sentiment is from Heart-2-Heart #3. I added my bird, glittery tail and ribbon to finish it.
And last but not least for today. I used more Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper and trimmed my edges with pinking shears and then stitched it to my cardbase. I've had a handful of Heidi Swapp chipboard letters stashed away and used those to add 'tweet heart'.
I added my birdies and my sentiment, both from Tweet Talk...
and my hearts to complete it!!
That's all for day 3. I'll be back with more for tomorrow and I swear there will be NO PINK!! :) I promise! I didn't realize til I started uploading my pictures for this post that I had used pink all 3 days. Now I LOVE pink...you all know that but I'm ready for something different, how about you?!
There is still a lot to see from the rest of the PTI gang...
Til tomorrow...enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday

LOL! ;-D I'm okay with pink! You do it so wonderfully. Actually, you could use whatever color you want, and I have no doubt it would be fabulous - Haha! Love all these adorable cards - you always think of the most delightful little additional elements, taking your cards up a notch. Can't wait to see what you have up tomorrow. ;-)
