What could be better than a blinged out birdcage?  

The versatility of the new Builder Birdcage stamp set has my creativity going wild!   

The set includes different birdcages, chains, birds and a beautiful vintage looking stand.  You know I love vintage!  

This card was so easy to create yet stunning to look at.  The stamping is done right on the designer paper.  The layered greeting adds to the vintage frilly flair.  

I'm including a PDF tutorial below for you to download. I've also pasted the instructions for those on a mobile device.  

Give this new Occasions Catalog stamp set a look. You'll find it on page 36.  The 16 photopolymer pieces are easy to align and it's only $17.00!
