Introducing Songbirds

Hello and welcome to the fourth day of the Papertrey Ink October countdown! 

Today's group post is all about the new set Songbirds.  What a special set!  I just love how these folk-style bird are paired with songs that are suited to match a number of special occasions.  It's so unique and easy to work with too!

Hope you like what I have to share with you today...

Up first are a couple Christmas projects.  This card pairs the bird with a pretty color combo of scarlet jewel, sweet blush, limeade ice and pinefeather.

To create the perfect perch, I stamped the branch onto a rustic white cardstock block and added a few pinefeather berries.  Then mounted the songbird with a few pieces of dimensional adhesive.

To balance out the heaving image at the top of the card I cut two strips and adhered them to the bottom, along with a stamped sentiment and two matching scarlet jewel buttons.

For the tag, I stamped the bird in scarlet jewel once again.  This time pairing it with pinefeather and rustic white.

The tag was created using a label die (included in a set that you will find out about tomorrow), then topped with a die cut branch and a sentiment (from the new Snow Globe Sentiments).

Another occasion this set is perfect for... a wedding!  I've paired these birds up an a color combo of sweet blush and enchanted evening. 

I stamped the branch twice, to create a perch big enough for two.  A few lines of music were stamped in soft stone and a sentiment in enchanted evening to finish this card off.

Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...
