Birthday bird

I case'd this from a Papercraft magazine cover.  I liked the layout and was able to use the DCVW premade cards I had.  I purchased the die-cut stickers from JoAnne's $1.00 bin.  I think 6 - 8 birds came in a package (which means you will be seeing more of them).  I knew for the price..I could do something with them. 

I used the DCVW premade card; a scrapbook background paper I had in my stash; chocolate chip cardstock; and some ivory sheen ribbon. Punches:  I used  SU! large corner rounder and SU! southwestern corner punch,  or was it called aztec corner punch. I cannot remember, but it is a good punch to have around.

Have a good week.  Thanks for looking.

Taking a break from busyness

Hello stampers and papercrafters out there. I have not posted in so long, actually too long. I have a busy schedule, so I have been looking for ways to make quick and easy cards that I want to send out. 
 I have to admit that because of my schedule, I have had to buy manufactured cards .  I watched how the cost added up and I knew I had supplies at home to make cards.  I am trying to get back into a routine of making some cards a head of time. 

My aunt's birthday is  coming up soon.  I pulled out some supplies I already had and used a quick template.
This is what I came up with:
