Ina is the host for Die Week at Just Us Girls and she has a specific die she wants you to use - one of those long forgotten ones.
I know we all have favorite dies that we haven't used in a while but when I was looking for something I forgot it was die week and made the card below. It does use dies and since I'm not in my studio there is no way I can make a different card so I'm going with the flow.
These Crazy Birds are from Tim Holtz, colored with Zigs, die cut and Glossy Accents added to their eyes. For the background I cut a panel with The Greetery's Crimped Frames and smooshed it with Mowed Lawn and Faded Jeans Distress Ink. The sentiment is from MFT. Now you can see why I wanted to use this forgotten stamp set. Aren't they fun?!
Now for technically correct cards using a forgotten die, please check out what the Design Team has done. We welcome Bonnie Klass from Stamping with Klass as our guest for the month of July so be sure to stop by, say hi and marvel over her wonderful card creations.

You had a fun play with your Crazy Birds; wonderful to see them feature on your card as your choice of a 'forgotten favourite.' The background is a perfect stage for these two stars!

I always enjoyed these fun birds. They make me smile
Yes, they are definitely fun and you created a cute card with them. Love your smooshed background.
Bobby, I forgot about these crazy birds and by using them you are reminding others of us of how cute they can be. The sentiment is so good for them standing there talking to each other and it made me chuckle!
Bobby, I love your card - and that sentiment! It's the best! And now, your die has me thinking of a 'hand pie!'

This is so stinkin' cute. I love how you have colored those silly birds, and great design too!!
OMGosh Bobby... it is another really old Tim Holtz set. Like Ina's ... I just love it. Brought a smile to the lips... not sure I saved this one in my recent clean out... but I am going to check!
We can all say we've misinterpreted the challenges more than once! However I think your card is adorably sweet with the birds and you DID use a die 😂
These crazy birds are such a hoot, and once again, thanks for reminding me that I have these stamps too and they have not seen ink in a long, long time! You've colored them perfectly Bobby and I'm loving the smooshed background too! A perfect card to make the birthday guy or gal SMILE!! Hugs. :0)
That sentiment gave me a giggle and those birds are too much fun with their crazy eyes!
These guys are truly oldie goldies, Bobby! What a fun pair and a wonderful background too! Thanks for the warm welcome, my friend! This is such a fun team to guest with!
Don't we all just love those crazy birds! and yes they make you smile so that is a good thing. Coloured beautifully Bobby. Love the soft background and that perfect frame die.
LOVE your card using the Crazy birds. Agree ... they are so much fun! :) And perfect with the sentiment you've used. Love the smooshed and crimped background. xx
