Hope you are enjoying the FREE shipping offered by SU this month....I have already placed one order on Monday....and the best part is that if I forgot something...even something small...I can place another order today...maybe Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!  But that's it...and then have to pay for shipping....so....no worries....but place your order today especially if there is something on the retirement lists...as when they are gone....they are gone!

Thought I would share with you some creations using the Bird Punch....I am so glad I didn't see this on the retired list....I am loving all you can do with it.

I know...WHAT?  CHRISTMAS?  LOL...yes....never to early to start thinking  Christmas...right?  lol

I am loving the candle flame created with the bird punch...do you see it?  A little bit of sponging....and there you have it....

 

I used some dimensionals for the flame and the leaves for an added decorate touch. 

 

Okay...maybe nothing shocking...but how about a seagull?  It's a bird....yeah I know...but some added embossed clouds (which was on the Clearance Rack and FREE shipping).

 

Embossed and sponged the "wood" pieces and also the wood embossing folder to make the "sea".  I also used our burlap ribbon to create the cording around the posts.  Just trim off a piece of the burlap and pull it apart...makes a nice looking "rope". 

 

Using dimensionals really adds that special look...I think anyhow. 

Now these are not my ideas...just ideas I picked up on Pinterest....if you don't use Pinterest....check it out....so many great inspirational ideas that you can "tweak" to what you own...or purchase with FREE shipping....did I mention FREE shipping until Friday...lol

 

Hope you have a great stampin day!
