OK, so I'm head-over-heels-in-love with the new Contempo Cage Die-namics and Stamp Set, how about you? Try as I may, though, I want to make it vintage every time I use it!


This time, I decided to use some music paper behind the cage to play off of the "A Little Note" sentiment. That little birdie is super duper cute, isn't (s)he? Can you tell I cut the cage from glittered card stock? This tells you how awesome MFT Die-namics dies are: I was going to run it through my die cutting machine twice since it's thicker than regular card stock, but I was so excited to see what it looked like that I forgot, LOL! But no worries--it cut clean as a whistle on one pass! To finish it off, I decided to "hang" it by some little black chain. With the glittered bird cage, I just had to add some bling ;-) I stamped the sentiment on some patterned paper that I cut with the new Oval Tab Die-namics die--I'm telling you, this one is a favorite of mine already. To give it a little more presence, I cut another one from black card stock as a mat--it really makes it pop, I think.

For the inside, I used some stamps from the set. The "Happy Bird-day" sentiment is straight but I curved it on my stamping block so it would "flow". That's one of the beauties of clear stamps :)





OK, that's it for me today--thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you at the release party at 8pm tonight and don't forget the new release is available at 10pm tonight!
