Today we'll be introducing Birds of a Feather, Birds & Branch Dies, Moka Taylor, Moka Justin,  and the Hello A la Carte stamp.  My projects today will use the Birds of a Feather set and the Moka Taylor set. 

Birds of a Feather is a full-sized set containing 21 images and sentiments.  It was illustrated by
Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line.  This set can be used for clean and simple cards, cutesy cards or even more elegant cards.  There is a Birds & Brach Die Set that coordinates with this set and it makes even simpler and helps with dimension. 

For my card, I stamped the branch in Burnt Umber ink.  The birds were stamped and then die cut and added to the "tree" with some foam dimensional tape.  The papers are from the Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky Collection from My Mind's Eye.  I used the Labels 18 Nestabilities for the sentiment panel. 

My second card uses the Moka Taylor set.  Moka Taylor was designed and illustrated by
Nancy McKinney for the Moka Collection.  When Nancy first illustrated this set, it was Taylor's personal favorite, so Nancy named this image after her.

The papers are from the Happy Go Lucky Collection from American Crafts.  I paper pieced part of Taylor's dress and colored her in with Copic markers.  I die cut the flowers out of scraps of patterned paper and added a button and some twine to the center.

To see more creations using these sets and creations using the sets I haven't featured today, visit the rest of the Baker's Dozen!  Be sure and come back tomorrow for the RELEASE DAY!  Everything you've seen these past two days will be available for purchase tomorrow at 8am Pacific!  Hope to see you tomorrow!
