Happy St. Pattick’s Day, and “may the wind be always at your back”!
Today’s card inspiration uses the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. It’s in the current Annual Catalog. This “friendly” card can be used for a birthday greeting, “Thinking of You”, a card of congratulations, or encouragement. It has a simple and serene vibe and welcomes Spring. The Garden Birdhouses stamp set is one of my favorites. So let’s make a card!
Today’s Card Parts & Pieces
- I cut a Basic White card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″.
- The Parakeet Party DSP layer is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. This will cover the card front.
- The Tahitian Tide DSP layer is 3 1/8″ x 4 1/2″. I used this layer as a mat layer for the top Focal Point layer.
- The top Basic White layer is about 4 1/4″ x 2 7/8″. I die cut this layer using the Deckled Rectangle Dies.
- All of the images are stamped with Early Espresso ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends.
- I fussy cut one of the birds and popped him on his “home” perch.
- I adhered the top layer to the Tahitian Tide layer, then attached the Tahitian Tide layer to the card front with Dimensionals.
- A few of the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots worked well to add a finishing touch.
So, take a look at Garden Birdhouses, stamp your images, add a little color, pop a bird on his perch and create something to send a “welcoming” hello!
… the only limitation is your imagination!
