Nuts About You

As I was using some of my retired stamps I noticed this one on my shelf. As I was in need of a few anniversary cards I decided to have some fun with it. I used markers to color the birds when stamping them but wanted to get better coverage on the tree, so I first inked it with Tip Top Taupe ink using my stamping pad, then used a q-tip to remove the ink from the leaves and then used my Cucumber Crush marker to color the leaves before stamping on the white card stock. The little heart was punched and added with a mini glue dot.

Latch Card

I saw this Latch Card cut and layout on Split Coast Stampers. It was fun to look at my stamp sets and see what I wanted to create. The nice part about these cards is the little circle becomes part of both the front and the interior of the card.
The top card uses the Nuts About You stamp set and the Picture This set for the inside expression. I really wanted to use the Nuts About You with the bird and bird nest for this card but it wasn't quite tall enough to fill the space so I added the Garden Green grass made with Fringe Scissors to the base.

The bottom card uses the Pleasant Poppies stamp set with the moth from Nature Walk stamp set. The expression on the inside comes from Butterfly Basics stamp set.
