Sweet Songbirds - Birthday

This is a birthday card I made for my grandson who is turning four on May 6.  I can't wait to help celebrate his birthday.  I just love the new In-Color Tahitian Tide.  I thought the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder was perfect for his card.

Here is my instructions:


Stamp Set:  Sweet Songbirds

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Tahitian Tide, Basic White, Pumpkin Pie, 2022-2024 In-Color 6” x 6” DSP

Ink: Crumb Cake, Tahitian Tide, Tuxedo Black Memento

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, Paper Trimmer, Songbird Builder Punch, Fabulous Frames, Stamparatus, Hydrangea Dies, 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is Crumb Cake cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is the In-Color Tahitian DSP (horizontal stripes) cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  Adhere to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Die-cut a Crumb Cake frame using the Fabulous Frames in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  Cut a 2-3/8” x 3” Basic White cardstock with the Paper Trimmer.

4.    Ink up the sentiment “It’s Your Special Day!” with Tahitian Tide ink at the bottom of the Basic White cardstock.

5.    Ink up the nest with Crumb Cake ink.  Ink up the musical notes at the top using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

6.    Use the Stamparatus to ink up the bird stamp with Tahitian Tide.  Ink up the eyes with Tuxedo Black Memento.  Punch out the bird with the Songbird Builder Punch.  Punch his beak from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and attach it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Attach his wing with a Dimensionals.

7.    Die-cut the flowers from the Hydrangea Dies using the Tahitian Tide cardstock.

8.    Attach a flower on top of his head with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and add a Decorative Dot to match.
