One of my friends gave me a card making kit with a parakeet theme, and I opened it up right away to make a thank you card for her. I rarely use card kits, but this was a fun one, with pretty spring colors and cute birds. I added a die cut doily by Stamplorations, then heat embossed some fancy corners with an ancient wood mounted stamp I've had for 15 years. I stamped on vellum for a lacy look that I ended up really loving. The green parakeet was cut from patterned paper and popped up behind the bird case, just for fun. A double stitched rectangle die by MFT, and some white twine and a green brad finished this one off. I'm planning to dig into more of those card kits that I have stashed away, and start using them once in awhile instead of sticking to stamped and die cut cards only.
