\u00a0Did I post the original birds post-it notes<\/a>? Maybe just on Instagram. (I keep meaning to be organized enough to always have posts here first but …I’m not. Apparently.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway I\u2019ve been making these little sketches on pretty small post-it notes in 4B pencil, then flipping them over and rubbing the backs to transfer them onto the rubberstamp material, and then carving them. Maybe I said that with the MerMay stamp post<\/a> last week?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chickadee was one that worked on both a card and its envelope. Not a big card, just a gift card. I sent some to a friend I\u2019ve lost touch with as a surprise birthday present and then put some of them in the Birds of Vermont Museum<\/a>‘s gift shop as a packet of 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I hope you like them! If you clicked the first link… which bird should I do next? Don’t pick the Barred Owl; that one is done and I’ll post it soon.<\/p>\n

Then I had to buy more supplies since I was running out of stamp material…which I could do because of you!!!<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0\u00a0I have a new ink pad to try too. Yay!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
