Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge # 231. Our host, Lynda, picked Birds for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here’s my Birds card:

I used the retired Twinkle, Twinkle DSP (designer series paper) for this card. It’s from the same DSP that I used for the baby card for the previous challenge, which you can see here. Before these C4Galz challenges, I didn’t have any neutral baby cards in my stash, but I think I’ve got it covered now. I pulled the colors from the DSP and used Petal Pink, Gray Granite, Pool Party, and remaining scraps of Mint Macaron. The enamel dots are also retired. I tend to hold onto embellishments and ribbon “just in case” I need it sometime. However, I am getting better at clearing out the old in exchange for the new.

The bird on the right looks light orange, but I promise that it was colored with the Petal Pink blends combo. The one of the left was colored with the Pool Party blends combo set. The balloon holding hamster was colored using the Gray Granite blends combo set.

Current Products:

The current products used for this card are the circle die cuts using the Stylish Shapes dies and the Fluffiest Friends stamp and die sets. That set has some of the cutest little animals and I use them often.

It’s always fun combining old and new products. If you don’t have these products, use this classic layout to create your own cards. The bottom strip of DSP, or cardstock, just needs to be around one-third of the height of the card to keep it in balance. Of course, if you want to use a top and bottom half, you are more than welcome to do so, but this layout may not work.
