Hello bloggers! I thought I would share a card using the Bird Cage die. I started with a piece of white card and added a wide strip of red to the bottom. I use a thin strip of black as a a border between them. I cut a Parrot in white and then used Distress Markers to colour it. I wanted some bright colours so I used red, orange and blue, with black for the beak and eye. Next I cut the Birdcage in black. I gluded the parrot to the card then glued the birdcage over the top. I added small floral accents to the top of the card and the bottom of the card by the sentiment. I used the Happy Bird day sentiment at the top left corner of the card and the Dear Friend sentiment cut in black in the lower right corner. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size.
On a different note, Steph Cotterill has asked that I redrew a new winner for the woodpecker die. So in order to comply, I have drawn a new name for the winner of the Woodpecker and that is......
Crafty Jo!!!
Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com and confirm your postal address to claim your winning die. All for now, Sue x
First of all, thank you Sue I really hope I didn't offend you and appreciate the reason behind my request, I feel so hurt and disappointed it's come to a standstill all of a sudden and its all down to the pandemic but at least it wasn't a business where 100's of people have lost their jobs, and should I get an order that requires a beautiful bird like the woodpecker then I'll know exactly where to find the best design. On the plus side we'll done crafty jo I hope you have fun with this lovely die xxx.
ReplyDeleteOnto today's sample, it's nothing but beautiful, you have put another smile on hundreds of faces again today Sue. The colours are happy and vibrant, who wouldn't be amazed when they opened this gift.
Hope everyone is well. Love to all xxx

Take care everyone x

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all. What a gorgeous card - so cheerful, and the floral accents are a wonderful addition. Hang in there Steph - the pandemic and now the cost of living crisis are an absolute nightmare. I feel your pain, having set up a crafting business myself and having sold absolutely nothing. Things have to get better - never lose hope xx. Really sorry about your foot Trish - take it easy! Colleen xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely vibrant card. Very kind of Steph to give up her prize. I hope things pick up for you soon Steph. I’m sure they will. x
Trish - I hope you feel better very soon. I feel your pain as I recently pulled the bathroom door shut with force onto my bare foot. I broke my little toe and the metatarsal bone above it. No fun hobbling about, but on the mend now. x
Congratulations Crafty Jo, what a lovely surprise for you. x
Love Helen xxx
Me again…
ReplyDeleteJust read my comment and it should have said I pulled the door open onto my foot. Sorry. X

Thanks for the messages but I've not done it for praise or recognition, it's simple - I've admired Sue, Particraft and then the quality of the dies for 10 years or more, it's all down to the dies I've been given as gifts or 'treats' or from launch gifts that helped me make memories for those that bought at market. Now I can no longer attend the market I've lost customers obviously so why have a new die I can't use, that sits in my box making me sad when someone else can love it like I would, so I'm really thrilled that sue didn't mind doing this and Jo will hopefully find so much enjoyment out of this gorgeous bird that I've seen once but hear loads when I'm able to take a walk with my keeper and fur-baby.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, congrats Jo xx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA lovely card, the parrot is lovely and you have coloured it so well and the flowers just add to the beauty of the card.

Hi Sue, a lovely bright and happy card which I like a lot but I am sorry for the parrot. I am trying to convince myself that he is clinging to the bars of the cage and not floating in mid-air but really think he would be so much happier sitting on a perch or is that just me being fanciful?
ReplyDeleteFrances
I love your card! The beautiful colors make it so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone todays card is just beautiful I love the vibrancy of the parrot 🦜 I would have thought it was paper until I read your instructions. The accent flowers are perfect in size and colour just to add that special flourish.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually just watching Jamie on Hobby Maker showcasing your fabulous new launch and I have lots on my wish list.
Hugs to all who need them today

Afternoon Sue, beautiful card with that gorgeous parrot die! Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue.
ReplyDeleteI am running very late today, a beautiful card thank you.
Have fun Kitty.
This card makes me smile. It is such a colorful and happy design. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a lovely colourful card today. It seems a shame to cover up the pretty parrot with the bars of the cage though, I might let him escape and have him sitting on top of it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
I'm with Lisbeth, but then I can choose where I want him to be ....LOL

Hi Everyone,

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where to leave this comment, but I just wanted to say how much I love and use your expressions and mini expressions dies.

ReplyDeleteI know many thing could have gone wrong this past few days investing online and getting scammed. I was also in your shoes when I invested into a fake binary option where I got scammed of $3000 of BTC but thanks to the help of cchacker0002@gmail.com . They assisted me in recovering back my scammed BTC. I initially didn’t trust them but I was referred by a friend who I trust well. I was able to get my refund within the space of two weeks. Thanks to cchacker0002@gmail.com
I recently found myself hiring a Crypto-Recovery programmer. I am more than impressed. I learned more about the tech and cyber world, and that anything is possible with the right programmer. If you have been a victim of Bitcoin or another Cryptocurrency scam, I feel like it's my duty to link you all with a legit programmer. I started having a lot of issues with an investment company that goes by the name DRIP FX when I tried withdrawing the 307,955 USD I had invested with them. The so-called Bit miners couldn't provide any help for me to access my funds. I did all investment deposits via various Crypto-Coins which is untraceable but I didn’t give up on retrieving my funds back. Luckily for me with the help of Cyber Genie Comp, I was able to recover my funds. I salute their cyber skills. Ever find yourself requiring the help of a programmer, please contact:
