Have A Cracking Bird-Day

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Apparently today (5th January) is National Bird Day. So seeing I have been wanting to play with this fun honeycomb parrot die set for some time now, I decided to pull it out and use it for today's card. This die set is part of the Creative Craft Products Honeycomb die sets.

You have the option to create the parrot with or without the honeycomb wing, as you can see I added it to mine. I did use hook and loop under the wing, so if I wished I could flatten the wing for mailing purposes.

For the card I decided to create a Tower card using the Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's 5 x 7 Terrific Tower Card die set.

I used blue glitter card for the matting layers on all the sections of the card.

The Bird-Day sentiment is from the Bird Sentiments stamp set also from Creative Craft Products.

Here is another view of the card, this time when it is lying on the desk. Hopefully you can see the side panels a little better.

For the back of my card, I added a white panel so I could add a sentiment and have a place to add a hand written greeting. As I used a parrot on the front of my card, I searched my stash for a bird or parrot themed sentiment. I found one in a Your Next Stamp stamp set called Parrot-ise Stamp set, so I used on of the fun sentiments from the set as well as adding one of the parrots.
