Oh My Gostrich!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I wanted to share another new set with you from our May 2018 Release. This is such a fun set, Stephany Zerbe did a fantastic job illustrating it! Again, I created several cards with this one, but I have two to share with you today.

I decided to create a fun shaker card first. I wanted to create a little party of ostriches. Or is the plural of ostrich, ostrich? One sec, BRB.

Well, thank you google. Apparently either is correct. I think I'm gonna go with "ostrich". Just sounds better to me.

So, for this Ostrich Party, I started by stamping the image of the two ostrich several time on my panel. I then masked them off and stamped the background in Queen Bee PURE COLOR dye ink using the Big Top Background stamp. I colored my guys and there accessories with Copic Markers.

For the shaker frame, I used our 4 Bar Stitched Rectangles die to cut a window. I stamped and heat embossed "birthday" onto the acetate window using the new Birthday Wishes stamp set.

I piled all of my little sequins and bits inside and then adhered everything together. I think this is a fun little party-in-a-card that is perfect for boys and girls of all ages!

Next up, I wanted to create something appropriate for those men in our lives over 21. This could easily be created for a woman as well, but I usually have a difficult time with masculine cards, so I thought this was a perfect set to explore some of those options without defaulting to the "typical" guy themes.

I stamped the ostrich and colored them with Copic Markers. Then I used the companion die to cut out the circle and heads. The die for this is perfect and cuts a negative circle out and around them. Again, perfect for a shaker card. But instead, for this one, I used the confetti image from our new And Many More! stamp set to stamp the confetti on the background panel. I also used the same set to stamp the circular sentiment around the window opening. The full sentiment reads "Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear Friend! Happy Birthday To You! And Many More!"

I finished these guys off with a few accessories and a banner and sentiment, all included in Oh My Gostrich!.

Hope you enjoyed! I do have a few others to share with you, but I'll have videos of those. I just need to voice them over. In addition to our May Release, I just turned the big 4-Oh and my husband's birthday was yesterday. Add in Mother's Day as well, I've been stealing time where ever I can! LOL So, if you are not yet subscribed to our YouTube Channel, be sure to head over there and subscribe. That will be up in the next couple of days.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and Memorial Day Weekend for those in the states!
