My 4 year old grandson was
full of excitement as he showed me this Angry Bird game some time ago. Kinda thought it was a bit silly but
whatever. I found out just how serious a game this was after spending the
Christmas weekend with our adult kids.
So I did a search for possible cards made using these creatures and
found out I’m about a year behind! Found
these nuggets by nox2stamp off Splitcoast easier to
follow as it is mainly done using punches.
I also liked dlsplu’s layout from Splitcoast so I used her idea. I know nothing about the game, I’m assuming
these ladies do. I have a 30 year old
SIL who is nuts about the game so this card is for his birthday in March.
I went through my scraps
to make these so I am only guessing at the colors of cardstock that I used.
Angry
Bird parts:
Used
the 1/8” companion circle Coluzzle or about 1-5/8” to cut his body from Real
Red, sponged black.

Chest
– SU 1-3/8” circle punch in white, sponged red. Once I glued this in position and cut off
what I didn’t need, I sponged the bottom in black.
Eyes
– SU 1/2” circle punch in white, sponged black. Dots were done using my black Zig marker.
Eyebrows
or is that a Frown?? – SU horizontal punch in black.
Beak
– star punch by EK Success in More Mustard, sponged Chocolate Chip.
Feathers
– SU 5-petal flower punch in Real Red, sponged black.
I
added mounts to the back of him so he is raised.

Snout
– large eye from the SU owl punch in Green Galore, sponged Garden Green. Put a mount behind so it is raised.
Eyes
– small eye from the SU owl punch in white, sponged Garden Green.
Eyelids
– small eye from the SU owl punch cut in half in Old Olive, sponged black.
Ears
- SU 1/2” circle punch in Old Olive, sponged black.
Used
my black Zig marker for the markings.
Cage
parts (if that’s what it is):
Cut
gray cardstock 2” x 2-1/4”, cut inside away to leave a 3/8” frame, sponged
black. Used the Creative Memories corner
rounder in the top, left corner.
Grass:
Sizziz
die in Garden Green, sponged black. I had
to cut 2 of them to fit across the card.
Sling
Shot:
Creamy
Caramel stamped with SU! Woodgrain stamp set in Chocolate Chip. SU Word Window punch, sponged with Chocolate
Chip. 1/16” hole punch, brad, 8” hemp. Once I tied my knots, I cut off what I didn’t
need. A neat trick I learned in my
sewing days – to put yarn or thread or, in this case hemp through a small hole,
add a dab of glue to one end. Work it in
with your fingers to make a narrow point.
Once it dries, it is easy to thread through.
Background:
SU
Canvas stamp set in Real Red. Mount to a
black card.
Phrase:
SU
Smarty Pants stamp set in Garden Green. SU Decorative
Label punch, sponged black.
